Well the weather outside was frightful, but the pool deck was so delightful.  Waking up to a fresh snowfall was not what anyone had wanted for sure.   But with a three hour time delay, the roads were better, the parking lot was clearer and we had more swimmers swimming this year’s Swim Your Own Age. Thanks so much to everyone who helped make this meet one of the most successful meets in recent memories for the CSP Tideriders.  Countless people spent many hours months leading up to the meet, and...

Parkway Pentathlon a first for CSP.  This is a different format from most, where you must swim the 200 Fly, Back, Breast, 400 IM and 500 Free in order to score.  While we had swimmers competing at Junior Nationals, Swim Your Own Age, and of course studying for Finals, CSP still had a strong showing. Placing in the Top 8 Over All for the Girls was Ashley Daniels (2nd), Cami Nourie (5th) and Christina Jurotich (6th).  Finishing in the Top 16 were Riley Deutsch (9th), Nicole Beard (14th) and Claire...

So while the meet shirts may have been a year early, the CSP Avengers Assembled as a team and took home the Tideriders first ever win at the Ozark A Champs that was held last weekend in Carbondale, Illinois.  We had 111 entrants in to the meet this year, swimming over 540 individual events, and participating in 58 different relay swims.  All of those numbers were considerably more than any other team entered in this year’s meet.  Every swimmer, every race and every point made all the difference in the...

The Tideriders looked at the HEAT Fall Classic as a last chance meet for athletes to qualify for A Champs, and they didn’t disappoint.  We picked up 26 new A times, as well as having three new swimmers qualifying for A Champs.  We also had the most athletes that we have had a non CSP Hosted meet.  Over 190 athletes signed up to swim at the Fall Classic, and every one of them represtented CSP proudly.  We continue to look more and more uniformed.  The kids are doing a great...
