Event Details/Results:
Lakeside Masters Invitational: This invitational will be held and August 4 and 5 and is a 2-day meet. Lakeside is located in Louisville, KY within the Highlands. The facility is a converted rock quarry that holds 3.2 million gallons of chlorinated water and contains an eight lane 50 meter course as well as a six land 25 yard course used as a warmup/warmdown area. This truly is a unique swimming and competition pool. I strongly recommend you add this meet/pool to your swimming bucket list!

Monday, August 13th at Oakland University is the pool meet and for the first time an Open Water Race has been added that is actually Swim to the Moon. Registration for both swimming portions is here: http://www.michiganseniorolympics.org/
