Betsy Owens Memorial Lake Swim

Mirror Lake in Lake Placid, New York
Saturday, August 15, 2009, 10:30 am

Entry (.pdf)

AS many of you know, I direct a 2-mile cable swim in Lake Placid, NY,
every summer. This year it's a national championship and for the first time ever, I'm offering relays (4 person mixed or 3-person M or F; times of swimmers added together like in the postals). What you may not know is that the winning relays will automatically set national records as there are none right now. I've heard from Bill Braswell (64) and John Erb (51) that they are definitely coming. Rosanna Sikora (53) and Ann Lyttle (61) are thinking about it. So if any of you other teammates are interested, please let me know. Entries close Aug. 1, but after July 15, fee jumps from $40 to $50. I'm attaching the entry form. So right now we'd have two 45+ relays, mixed & women's. And being that it's a natl champ, DCM pays for the relays. Hope some more of you will join us!

18th Annual Maryland Swim for Life

The District of Columbia Aquatics Club (DCAC) is proud to host the 18th Annual Maryland Swim for Life on July 11, 2009. This 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5-mile open water swim in Maryland's Chester River benefits local charities who help those afflicted with HIV/AIDS. The swim starts and finishes at Rolph's Wharf near Chestertown, MD.
As of this past week, registration is now open! This is a sanctioned USMS event this year (through Maryland LMSC), so all participants must be USMS members. For those who are not USMS members, one-event USMS memberships ("OEVTs") will be available for a fee ($15) at check-in on the day of the event.
We are urging everyone to use online registration, at www.firstgiving.com/swim4life. However, we will still accept in person race-day registrants, too.
