PSDN Age-Groupers finished 8^th in the 05-06 nationally competitive Internet Distance Challenge. Formerly titled the Postal Distance Challenge (results were sent by snail mail), the Internet Distance Challenge is an event that is open to all comers, swum in each team’s home pool. Individuals race their teammates and more importantly the clock. At the end of the year, the results are sent to USA Swimming to tally up the rankings of participants over the season.

This year, the girls finished 7^th and the boys 11^th to help the team to the 8^th place finish. As we involve more groups and improve our aerobic swimming, we’ll look to improve this placing for the future.

Here are swimmers who reached the top 25:
