2014 Check Off Challenge
| There are 5 months left to complete the Check Off Challenge!
From the USMS website:
The Check-Off Challenge is a postal event designed to motivate swimmers to complete 18 pool events and an open water swim during the 2014 calendar year.
The events may be swum in practice or in meets, in yards or in meters, any time during 2014. The challenge is to complete all events or try new events. COACHES: Sign up your entire team and use the event as a team challenge. Spread out the events over a period of time during practice sessions, progressively building up to the tougher events. The entire team can work together, completing all of the events. The event is open to all registered Masters swimmers. Enter by filling out the entry form (coming soon).
How do I score the Check-Off Challenge?
Scoring is simple-just mark the event on the event T-shirt-it's on the honor system!
When do I receive my T-shirt?
Swimmers whose entries are received by the end of each month will receive their shirt and cap in the following month. Entries will be accepted until November 1, 2014.
How much does it cost?
Each entry is $20, which includes a custom-designed Check-Off Challenge t-shirt ($24 for XXL+ shirts) and shipping.
How do I enter?
