ATTENTION PARENTS AND SWIMMERS

Posted Feb. 4, 2007: Effective January 2007, Southern California Swimming has elected to use the time standard designations Blue, Red, and White. This change was due to past confusion between SCS time standards and USA Swimming time standards. The new BLUE designation is the old "A" standard, the new RED is the old "B" standard, and the new WHITE is the old "C" standard.

There is also a change in the "AA" meet names - the new June Invite is the old summer "AA" championship meet and the new December Invite is the old winter "AA" championship meet.

For a complete list of the new time standards, please consult the SCS website (socalswim.org) or the 2007 SCS Swimming Guide.

TARAZONA HEATS UP AT WINTER INVITATIONAL BREAKS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SWIM RECORD

Posted Jan. 1, 2009: It was definitely chilly outside Belmont Plaza (in Long Beach), at the 2008 Winter Invitational, but inside TCC swimmer Noelle Tarazona was on fire. Noelle broke an eight-year-old Southern California Swimming record in the 15-16 girl's 200 yard butterfly. The former record (1:57.53) was held by Kaitlin Sandeno, a two-time USA Olympian. Noelle won the event establishing a new SCS record in a 1:57.23. "I knew Noelle was going to break the two minute mark but was surprised how far under she went. She looked like a million dollars," said a very happy coach John. " I don't think she could have had a better meet. Every swim was great."

Noelle also won the 400 I.M. in a lifetime best time of 4:13.92 and the 200 I.M. in a 2:02.38. Noelle finished 2nd in the 200 back (2:00.70). 4th in the 100 fly (55.55) and 9th in the 200 breast (2:18.15).

Congratulations Noelle on this super-duper achievement!!

Other outstanding performances were turned in by:

Sam Jardine winning the 1,000 freestyle, just missing his first Junior cut, in a sizzling 9:29.68. Sam had lifetime bests in the 200 free (1:43.16), placing 9th, and in the 500 free (4:40.34), placing 5th.

Winner Sa-Nguansap finished 7th in the 200 fly and 13th in the 200 breast (2:11.63).

Oriana Wang scored in the 400 I.M., placing 12th (4:30.49), 17th in the 100 free and 18th in the 200 free.
