2001- 2010

 

 
Greetings!
 
We have a bunch of meets coming up soon. The Donner Lake Swim (the 2.7 mile straight swim) has filled up and will not take anymore entries. The Modesto SCM meet is rapidly filling up - They are limited to 125 swimmers.

There are two open water meets this weekend that will take deck (or is it shore) entries, and the Donner Lake Hot August Chill is still taking entries.

The Olympics start this weekend and I hear you can "watch" the events on your computer as NBC will stream many of the events. The evening finals will start taking place about noon Pacific. (for those who want to watch the trials, I guess they will start about 2 am Pacific.


Enjoy the summer.

Fun, Fitness & Competition


Kind regards,
