Horsetooth Openwater Swim   August 10, 2014

  I talked my dear friend and fellow swim lover Julia Rezabeck, from Virginia, to join me this year at the Horsetooth Openwater Swim
(Aug. 10).  She'd never swam OW. The day was simply magnificent and we both rocked it! (in our own way):)

The Next 2014 USMS Speedo 3000/6000 yd. National Postal Championship Swim:    

November 9th, 7:00 am                 

Colorado Athletic Club at Inverness

 

Fall is definitely in the air, the leaves are changing color, Football Season has officially started and most outdoor pools have closed. In keeping with tradition, it must be time to swim the last 2 events in the USMS Speedo National ePostal Series! Yes indeed sports fans, the 2014 USMS Speedo 3000/6000 yd. ePostal National Championships have begun! The objective is to swim 3000 or 6000 yards OR meters in its entirety between September 15th and November 15th. Upon completion, you officially enter your final time and splits with the Host Team, Centeral Oregon Masters, and see how you compare to swimmers all over the Country! Whether you swim for fun, fitness or competition, you will feel accomplished! In addition, if you participate, you will receive our very own Colorado Goes Postal Swim Cap.

 

We are very fortunate here in Colorado to have COMSA Sponsor two opportunities to participate in either or both 3000 or 6000 yd/meter swims!. Therefore, you are only responsible for paying the online entry fee when you submit your results. We are even more fortunate this year because we can swim either distance as a group, outside at Colorado Athletic Club at Inverness! (374 Inverness Pkwy, Englewood, 80112). The date is Sunday, November 9th, starting at 7:00 am sharp! Please arrive early.

 

It's easy! All you need to do is e-mail  [email protected]  

to reserve your lane on either or both dates, bring a counter/verifier person with you to take your splits/verify finish, enter your results online and list CMS as your team! You will share a lane, side by side as no circle swimming is allowed. Clip Boards, split sheets, pencils, stop watches and entry information will be provided! Come on Colorado Swimmers, challenge yourselves and a friend to swim either or both the 2014 USMS Speedo 3000/6000 yd. or meter ePostal National Championships!! Let's show the rest of the country how Colorado Masters Swimmers GO" POSTAL at Altitude!
