Greetings!
On behalf of Nancy Ridout, our registrar, the Executive Committee, the Board of Directors and the Pacific Masters Committee, we wish you a Happy New Year. May you have a great holiday season.
For those of you who have re-registered for Masters swimming, thank you. For those who register before 15 January US Masters Swimming has arranged a special program from USMS sponsors (information is in your re-registration packet).
Congratulations to Marisa Churchill of USF Masters who was featured on the cover of Swimmer as the Greek Goddess of Kitchen and the Block. (Sorry it took so long to recognize her; BTW don't wear that swim suit in competition :-) ).
Happy New Year!!

Allmost filled
In 2012, there are two close by 10K swimming events TriValley Masters is organizing a 10K in June at Lake Del Valle and the USMS National Championships will be held in Jacksonville, Or (about a eight hour drive).

USF Valentines Day Meet
The USF Valentines Day Meet is being held on 11 February. There are significant changes to the meet this year. The first is that there is no deck entry at the meet (you can enter the meet on-line until 11:59 PM the evening prior to event - 10 February). Also this year, swimmers will compete in just the 50s and 100s, so the meet will go very fast. Since this is the Valentines Day meet, men and women will seeded together.

There are 116 clubs and 115 good email address that can be used by Survey Monkey - there is one club contact that does not want to be contacted by Survey Monkey.
