Happy New Year from ASP! 2010 is the year that came and went. We had triumph, we had tragedy, we had ground-breaking progression both in and out of the water. To all our athletes, our events, our fans, to anyone with the strength of character to abandon the familiarity of the shoreline for the embrace of Mother Ocean, we thank you. We thank you for 2010 – a year that will never be forgotten. Congratulations to our champions, Rest in Peace to those who’ve moved on from this world. Here’s to 2010 and we’ll see you in the lineup next year…
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
