Saturday & Sunday, June 13-14: Lake Del Valle
This year, the Lake Del Valle event will start on Saturday with a 5K/10K. The swims will run at the same time. You have to pre-register for the 10K and be able to meet the 3 ? hour cut off time to swim the event. On Sunday, the 1 mile and the 2.5K will be held. If you're new to open water swimming, try the 1 mile swim which is run first before the 2.5K. For a good workout, do both. There is plenty of parking. It's a good place to bring the kids because they have a roped off swimming area. Post event snacks are provided. The 10k and the 1 mile swims are national championship races.

Editor's Note
The recent Cal Aquatic Masters meet produced a slew of Pacific Masters records and one National record. Frank Grannis, age 90, of the Olympic Club swam the 100 IM in 1:56.78, for a new National record in the 90-94 age group. It was very inspiring watching him swim.
The report given by registrar Charlene O'Brien at our meeting in March gave some very interesting statistics. As of March 19, we had 9,528 registered swimmers, 143 registered clubs and 390 self-identified coaches. Last year at the same date we had 8,796 swimmers, 132 clubs and 316 coaches.
The total for 2014 was 11,887 swimmers, 149 clubs and 453 coaches.
USMS in 2014 had 62,271 swimmers, 979 clubs and 3,522 coaches.
If you look at the numbers, you will see that Pacific Masters has almost 20% of all the masters swimmers in the United States.
We are mighty!
