MASTERS SENSATION BOB BERGSTROM WINS THREE MEDALS AT USMS CHAMPS

At the United States Masters Swimming Spring National Championships this past weekend in San Antonio, TX Bob Bergstrom won three medals. 

Swimming in the 80-84 age group, the FAST veteran struck gold in the 200 Yard Backstoke and bronze in the 100 Yard Backstroke.

Bob also demonstrated his mastery of pacing in the distance events (look at those descending splits!) while earning a bronze in the 1,000 Freestyle and a fourth place finish in the 500. 

Congratulations!
