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.

SOMETIMES IT’S JUST ABOUT THE RACING...

Out of 46 swims at the 2010 Swim Meet of Champions, held in Mission Viejo, TCC swimmers moved up in placing 33 times. “Sometimes, we focus on times too much.

TARAZONA TRAVELS TO SPAIN ON NATIONAL YOUTH TEAM

“It was an amazing meet,” said Coach/Mom Jennifer Tarazona. “To see all the international flags from around the world – Russia, Australia, Poland, Cuba, Japan, China, etc... – was amazing and the competition was incredible. What an experience for a TCC swimmer to have.”

In the morning prelims, Noelle Tarazona finished 10th overall in the 200 meter butterfly (2:14.2) and five minutes later placed first in her 200 I.M. heat. Later to the chants “GO USA” “GO NOELLE,” she finished in 14th place in the 200 butterfly finals.
