The proceeds from this meet will go towards the Nancy Brown Legacy Fund.  This fund was created to honor Nancy, who passed away in 2020, as founder of Maryland Masters in 1974 and as head coach for nearly 30 years of Maryland Masters at SPCC.   This fund will contribute to vital upgrades needed for locker room facilities and air quality enhancements in the main pool area, and will also help achieve the goal of permanently naming the main pool in memory of Nancy.  

Each swimmer will be allowed to swim in up to 13 relays, including fun relays (4 X 25 T-shirt, watermelon, and kick board relays).  Children under 18 may join the fun relays!
