[Meg Campbell]

Hello Swimmer Friends,

 

Thank you all for joining the Bennington Area Masters Swim list.  I am so glad to see that there is a group of people going to an upcoming meet with Mike -- Hooray!

 

For the last several months, attendance at our Tuesday night workouts has been thin, usually between one and four people.  I'm a little concerned that if we don't get higher participation, then we will lose the slot at the pool. 

 

One thing we've learned is that having someone at your level to do a workout with is both fun and satisfying.  To that end, I want to officially introduce you to everyone else on the list.  Below are all the people who are on the list, and (roughly) their various levels (please don't take offense if I have put you in the wrong level).  I want to encourage you all to be in touch with one another either via the google groups list or independently if you are looking for someone to swim with or want to check in to see if someone at your level will be at practice. Either Jill, Mike or I usually prepare two workouts (a Level II and Level III).

Level I: This group usually does their own workout or a modified Level II workout. Some are getting back into the pool after a long-ish break, or haven't been in the pool for a while.

Hi Meg - Thanks for keeping the Tuesday night swim going. My schedule right now makes Mon-Wed-Fri better for me, but in advance of the Simon's Rock meet in March, I'm planning on adding a day each week in February, so will be there for the Master's Swim those four Tuesdays (and probably on the 31st of Jan. as well). 

See you then...

Greg Sellei

Greetings. Just a short note that the pool will be available to us for swimming around 9am this weekend (as long as our guard is on time). Regular practice at 10:30, but if you are able you can come in earlier.

Lake Paran was a refreshing 61 degrees last week - just right for my first open water dip of the year. I'll be there on Sunday 6/8 at 8am with Tim P. if anyone would like to join in. I'm working on some group options for the summer that I will send out towards the end of next week. 

....mike...
