Greetings!

With Spring Lake Open Water Event behind us the Lake Berryessa Meet is Saturday and  and the Lake Del Valle events are coming up next week. 

Lake Del Valle Open Water Swim is next Saturday. Lake Del Valle is one of the most beautiful open water locations that we have. The first Founders Day meet will be held at College of San Mateo and the PacMasters Championships will be at UC Santa Cruz.

Pacific Masters Swimming welcomes anyone who would like to gain and maintain fitness through swimming and encourages programs to foster this mission.

Fun, Fitness & Competition


Kind regards,

Lake Berryessa: 
The Event was cancelled for safety reasons

The Lake Berryessa Open Water swim was cancelled for safety reasons. This was the first time in over 25 years that an open water event had to be cancelled. With heavy rain pounding the venue, not being able to sight the normal places, the race director called off the race. We look forward to the event next year.

Lake Del Valle: 
Sunday June 12. 0.75 mile  and 2.5K

Lake Del Valle is always a great swim.  Beautiful location.  Expect a crowd.  On the drawing board for this year:  an elite division and on-line registration.  The 1.5 mile swim is being stretched by about 100 yards = 2.5K. If you're new to open water swimming, try the � mile swim. It's run first.  For a good workout, do both. Plenty of parking. A good place to bring your kids: they have a swimming area that is roped off. Post event snacks provided. 

Pacific Masters
Long Course Championships: 
Sunday June 12. 0.75 mile  and 2.5K

The Pacific Masters Long Course Masters Championships will be at the East Field House Pool on the campus of University of California Santa Cruz. The championships will be held July 8,9,10. The mail in deadline is 22 June and the on-line deadline is 11:59 1 July 2011.


The meet is always highly competitive and records are usually set. Santa Cruz is a great place during the summer so make your lodging reservations now. 

Founders Day Long Course Meet: 
One hunderd and two hundred LCM events.

A new long course meet for Pacific Masters at the new College of San Mateo pool on 26 June - The Founders Day Meet will be the 100 and 200  for all the strokes plus the 200 IM and the 400 Free.
