We forgot to mention that on January 31 we received an email informing us that the Swimnews Online site was choosen to receive an award from the people at Encyclopedia Britannica.

"Britannica.com is contacting you because our editors have selected your site as one of the best on the Internet when reviewed for quality, accuracy of content, presentation and usability.

We know quality is always difficult to accomplish and maintain. Congratulations on being a selected member of the Britannica Internet Guide."

We also found out in the past few days that Swimnews Online was the only swimming website to make the distinguished 100Hot.com sports sites list. This list ranks the 100 busiest sports sites on the internet and over the past month, we were the only swimming site to make the list at #96. Even our Olympic rival sport, Track and Field did not have a site that made the list.
