Over 940 swimmers from 60 teams met over the weekend of July 29-30 at the sixth annual Lafayette Swim Conference Championship Meet, held at Acalanes High School where families erected tents, set out lawn chairs and blasted music in the packed breezeways of the school. High fives and congratulations were shared among the steady stream of swimsuit-clad competitors on the hot day. Claudia Dumais, a 12-year-old Lafayette swimmer at the Lafayette Moraga Youth Association, qualified for five different events - the butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle and the individual medley but she was only allowed to swim in two different events. "I practice for over an hour five days a week," said Claudia, who also plays basketball and soccer. "I began swimming competitively when I was 9. I have been able to improve by learning new techniques." She hopes to continue swimming through high school.
Springbrook Swim Team landed the top slot with 5,537 points followed by Rancho Colorados Swim Team with 4,295.50 and LMYA Dolphins Swim Team with 2,847.50 points.
Nine swimmers broke records at the meet, five by individual swimmers and four by relay teams. (See the list of LSC results and individual winners on page C2.) - By Jon Kingdon
