We will again be asking that everyone who swims at the pond volunteer a half session (1.25 hours) to help with the monitoring of the swimmers. Be watching for the emails from SignUp Genius asking for your help with this task.
In addition, COMSA is in need of an Open Water Chair (or co-chairs) who will, among other things, coordinate the scheduling of the monitors. We had over 900 members participate last season at Chatfield, and each year this number increases. However, to keep this a successful activity, volunteer help is needed. If you are willing to coordinate monitors for one month of the five that we are open, maybe four others would also be interested. If you are willing to help with this, contact the COMSA chairperson, Brian Hoyt, (bkhoyt@gmail.com) , or Marcia Anziano, the registrar (Marcia.anziano@gmail.com) for more information and let them know that you are willing to help out. Please help COMSA make this another great summer at the pond.

Go The Distance 2013
|  "Go the Distance in 2013
Nike GTD is a self-directed program intended to encourage Masters swimmers to regularly exercise and track their progress. There's no time limit for the distance milestones, except that they must be achieved in the calendar year. Speed doesn't count-just the effort to attain whatever goal you set for yourself.
Nike GTD is on the honor system-you track the distance you swim. Daily, weekly, or monthly, enter that information into your online Fitness Log (FLOG). When you achieve certain milestones, you'll be recognized on the U.S. Masters Swimming website and receive special prizes from Nike Swim, our title sponsor for the event." USMS website
