HONOLULU – The University of Hawai'i men's and women's swimming and diving teams fly out this week for their first road trips of the season. Swimming heads to Long Beach, Calif. for Arena Invitational, hosted by UC San Diego at the Belmont Plaza Olympic Pool.

There will be 10 men's squads, including Arizona State, Stanford and UC Santa Barbara representing the Pac-10. The women's competition will include 20 teams, with 2010 national runner-up Stanford in the mix.
