“Now it is time to turn the reins over to the younger generation”

A message from SLAM President, Lori Payne

Dear SLAM members,

It has been my pleasure to serve you as St Louis Area Master’s Board President for many years, but now it is time to turn the reins over to the younger generation.

I hope to see some new faces on the SLAM Board as masters swimming continues to be a force for all of us. We are all USMS members for different reasoons: competition, mental health, triathlons, fitness and much more.

USMS has changed dramatically in the 31 years I have been a member, but one constant is the comradery amongst us, and for that I am so grateful. My logbook overflows with many wonderful adventures with my swim friends.

Thank you, I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of St Louis Area Masters.
