3000/6000 Yard Postal Championship

Monday, November 9th: The evening workout (7pm) will be your opportunity to swim an "official" timed 3000 (or timed 6000). Come join us to swim or to take splits. For those of you who are registered with US Masters, you will have the opportunity to submit your time to the 3000/6000 Yard Postal Championship and see where you match up with other masters swimmers on the national level. This is a great event and an awesome challenge!

Further details on the USMS sponsored event can be found at:

*There will be an alternative practice offered for people that are not interested in doing the distance swim.

See you at the Plex!
