PETERSBURG -- A team of Florida Mavericks Masters swimmers broke a national relay record this month, and an individual swimmer has won a nationwide comparative time event. Kay Schimpf, Peggy Hughes, June Reynolds and Florence Carr won the 800-meter freestyle in 18 minutes, 25.47 seconds at a short course meet Sunday in St. Petersburg. The time was a record in the 320-plus age group, which is determined by the sum of the swimmers' ages. The old record was 20:48.75. Hughes, 81, won her age group in a 5-kilometer national "postal" event, swimming the distance in 2:50:15.32. The 5K drew 181 swimmers from the United States and several other nations. In postal events, competitors swim the distance in their own pools and mail in their times for tabulation.
