Joe Zemaitis, Rena Demeo, Susie Nolan Loiselle, Andrew Wallace, Martha Wood, and other volunteers including referee Teri Rose and meet director Eileen Hatfield worked hard to put together the 2024 IISA USA National Championships at the Brookfield Swim Club in Chantilly, Virginia on January 12th – 14th.

While there were mostly Americans who raced in the 25m outdoor pool, swimmers from Hungary (Bulcsu Lengyel), Mongolia (Davaadorj Shagdarsuren and 11-year-old Tsenguun Munkhtur – shown above), Mexico (Anna Valeria Zuccolotto Soto and Carlos Franco Cantón – both shown above), South Africa (Lee Kaplan), Canada (Tom Heyerdahl and Josef Polcz).

Zemaitis explained, “It was a great event with perfect water temperatures (38-40°F or 3-4°C throughout the weekend) and fantastic community support from Brookfield Swim Club.  We had 47 entrants from 18 states, representing 7 countries.  We look forward to building the sport in the US.”

Ezmee Jones, a 17-year-old from Arizona coached by Zemaitis at Swim Neptune, had a great meet, winning 6 events including the 100m freestyle, 50m backstroke, 100m butterfly, 250m freestyle, 100m backstroke, and 100m individual medley.

The 20-year-old engine that never stops – Vera Rivard – swam every single individual event and the relay.

Lisa Yamamoto swept the distance freestyle events, winning the 500m and 1000m freestyle races.
