Father’s Day came early for Adam Brown.
At Spring Nationals, he swam with both his father, Paul, and his daughter, Lucy, on a mixed 200 medley relay. (Their fourth swimmer was an “adopted daughter” for the meet.) The moment meant everything to the family.
"As a son, you always want to spend time with your dad, especially as you get older,” Adam says. “Going to nationals for me is like 50 family visits wrapped into one weekend. We travel together, hotel, dinner—it is just time that I will always cherish. My dad is my hero and my biggest fan, but at nationals, I get to be his biggest fan. Now that my daughter is old enough to come along, it brings so much more joy. The relay was the cherry on top ... even if I jumped a little early!"

Congrats to Roni Hibben, 69, on breaking an AQUA Masters world record.
The Riptide Masters Swim member went a 30.45 in the 50 SCM freestyle to break the previous mark in the 70-74 age group. (Note: Eligibility for meters meets is determined by the swimmer’s age as of Dec. 31.)
“What an exhilarating surprise!” Roni says. “Upon realizing that I had set a world record, I felt an immense sense of gratitude for the opportunity. I appreciate how Masters swimming has positively impacted my overall fitness and health, and I thank my coaches and teammates for their support in helping me reach this milestone.”

From prank to a national championship swim!
When a friend posted a joke about Travis Smith entering USMS’s open water national championships in Sarasota, Florida, he decided to go ahead and enter. He ended up finishing seventh in the 50-54 age group with a time of 36:36.
”I jumped out of my comfort zone and did something I could never imagine doing a year ago,” Travis says. “Good things come out of your comfort zone.”
He’s used that mentality to completely transform his life over the past year. After discovering that swimming provided the perfect low-impact, full-body workout, Travis committed to swimming five days a week and ended up losing 160 pounds.
Congrats to Travis on an incredible journey!

Another AQUA Masters world record for Kelly Parker Palace!
The 64-year-old broke her second world record of the year by going a 10:47.99 in the 65-69 800 LCM freestyle after breaking the SCM record in the same event earlier in the year. (Note: Swimmers’ age for meters meets is determined by their age on Dec. 31 of the year.)
The 2026 Winter Masters Distance Invitational in Oro Valley, Arizona, where she set the record is one of her favorite meets.
“As a distance swimmer, it was incredibly special to compete in a meet built entirely around the longer races,” she says. “The SaddleBrooke Winter Masters Distance Invitational truly lets distance swimmers have their day. Breaking the world record was exciting, but what made the weekend unforgettable was the beautiful Arizona setting, the camaraderie among swimmers who love the distance events, and the dedicated meet organizers and volunteers. It’s a one-of-a-kind event.”
