New England Masters Wins 2002 Mythical Short Course Meters US National Championship
By Ed Gendreau
BOSTON, April 10. THE New England Masters Swim Club (NEM) won the 2002 Mythical Short Course Meters (SCM) National Championship, defending it’s 2001 title.
NEM scored a record 3787 points, beating second place San Diego Swim Masters by over 2000 points. Arizona Masters was third, slipping one spot from 2001.
Several clubs made big jumps over their 2001 rankings: Oregon improved 15 places, to rank 6th; Rocky Mountain Masters vaulted 11 places to 12th; Illinois, Georgia and Indy SwimFit also made significant gains. The following table summarizes scoring of the top twenty United States Masters Swimming (USMS) clubs:

Points were awarded based on the results of the USMS 2002 SCM National Top Ten Times. The top ten individual swims in each age group event were scored in the following sequence: 11, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Double points were awarded for relays. To view the USMS top ten times see the following link: http://www.usms.org/swimgold/tt/age/
The most significant uncertainty in this analysis regards swimmers who change clubs during the year, making it difficult to determine which club they competed with at their 25-meter meets. Where swimmers were registered with two or more clubs during 2002, the club affiliation posted on the USMS top ten page was used.
NEM blew this contest open by scoring more than triple the number of relay points than any other club. New England Masters conducts its championship meets as a contest between NEM workouts groups. This spirited competition generates fantastic relay participation.
Before continuing to more detailed reports, it’s time to thank several key people contributed to this project:
Pieter Cath – USMS Records and Tabulations Chairman; Esther Lyman – National Database Administrator; and Louise Valois – analysis program author. In addition, “thank you” to all the USMS LMSC Tabulations chairs across the country.

A final analysis ranked the top twenty fastest swims in each of the 100 meter events, regardless of age group. The results showed a good representation of swimmers from the 19-24 age group to the 40-44 age group. The following lists break down the percentage of fastest swimmers from each age group for women and men:
WOMEN
11 percent of top twenty fastest swims in the 19-24 age group
29 percent of top twenty fastest swims in the 25-29 age group
24 percent of top twenty fastest swims in the 30-34 age group
20 percent of top twenty fastest swims in the 35-39 age group
