FAX MEETS ARE BACK!!
Wine Country Masters are bringing back the ever popular Fax Meet.
Fax meets are a great way to introduce non-competitive swimmers into the world of competition without the pressures of a meet as well a great way to have a couple of very enjoyable training sessions.
Wine Country invites all masters to compete in this fun event. See the events page of the MSABC web site for more information or click here.
