The Walker pool has hopes to reopen by June 1, so we should be on schedule to swim the 10 K ’s. I still need 3 more timers for Saturday, June 23. 8:00-12:00. We also need 1 timer for Friday, June 22 10:00-2:00. Teenagers are welcome. NHS points for volunteering!
Great job by everyone on the Friday workout today. Distance swimmers swam an average of 1 1/2 hours and the main group swam 7 x 200 (or 150) Fly/Free set. Way to Go, MOST!
I will be conducting an open water clinic at Boerne Lake on Saturday, May 26th at 7:00 a.m. The lake is under construction, so you may have to park outside the park and hike in. We will meet at the boat ramp. Cost is $25. If you wish to be an attendee, please let me know. I am also looking for 2 more people to assist me in the water. All you need to do is be a swim leader with approx 15 people. I will give you all the instructions. The clinic itself runs 2 hours. There will be a graduation swim of 1/2 or 1 mile directly afterwards.
