Spring is finally upon us! That means outdoor pools are opening soon and our beautiful Colorado Lakes and Reservoirs are preparing for Open water swimming! It is also time once again to challenge yourselves by participating in the 2015 USMS Speedo 5K and 10K ePostal National Championships, hosted this year by the Central Oregon Masters Aquatics. The object is to swim a 5K or 10K in a 50 meter pool between May 15th and September 15th, then submit your entries and splits online and see how you compare with the rest of the country! Whether you swim either or both for competition, fitness or for some form of "fun", you will feel ever so accomplished once you are done! COMSA is sponsoring 2 opportunities to participate as a group at the beautiful outdoor 50 meter pool at Lowry this summer on Sunday, July 5th and Sunday, July 26th from 7 am to 10 am. All you need to do is e-mail with the dates and distance you would like to swim. You will need to bring a counter/verifier person with you as well. Clip boards, pencils, split sheets, extra stop watches and encouragement will be provided. Almost forgot, you will also receive a collector's item..COLORADO GOES POSTAL CAP!! We are super fortunate to have COMSA support us in fulfilling our long distance swimming goals by sponsoring these events every year! There is no cost to you other than the $12 entry fee once you submit your splits to the host team online. Don't forget to list CMS as your team! We had a record number of participants in the 2015 One Hour Postal. I challenge each of you One Hour Postal Swimmers to continue the USMS Speedo ePostal National Championship Series and participate in the 5K & 10K! In addition, Masters Coaches, please announce these Postals to your swimmers and encourage them to participate as well! We have so many amazing distance swimmers that we need to show the rest of the Country how Colorado Goes Postal! E-mail to reserve your dates! Happy Training!
