You are invited to a "100 x 100" Swim this coming Monday, December 24, at Bartlett starting at 8 am sharp!

A big shout out to Anne Williams of Chugiak Aquatics Club and Matt Williams of SWAM who put event together.

Here's how Saturday works:

There will be 100 intervals of 1:30, with swimmers choosing to swim 100s, 75s. or 50s. It’s up to the swimmer’s what distance they choose. Make it fun, or make it challenging. (Anyone for 25X50 fly, 25X50 Back, 25X50 Breast, 25X50 Free?) Mix it up! The goal is to complete 100 swims. And to ALL be in it together.

Pool will be set to Short Course Yards this year.

For such a long aerobic effort, it is recommended that swimmers bring nutritional supplementation in the form of Gatorade, GU, etc. 2 ½ hours is a long time, and the body will ‘bonk’ without supplementation.

If younger kids, (or even some Masters) want to set their goal at 20-30-50-75 swims, and wear fins, that’s fine too. The great thing is, you don’t even have to count. Every 15 minutes adds up to 10 swims. When they’ve had enough ‘team camaraderie’, just pop out and continue to cheer others on.

Remember, arrive at least 15 mintues early for a prompt start. Bring a $10 donation (to help pay for the pool), nutrition, your swim bag and a positive attitude.
