This past weekend we went to visit the Kirkwood Pool for the first time, and other than battling the parking and the cold walk to the crash area, the meet went well and we saw a number of fast swimming done by the Tideriders! This meet had three separate sections of it all wrapped in to one.  Day one were the IM’s, 100 IM, 200 IM and 400 IM. Day 2 was a quadathlon, where swimmers who competed in the 4 25’s, 4 50’s, 4 100’s or 4 200’s had...
