<div>This is a great open water swim. One can swim the two mile swim
and then turn around to swim the one mile swim. After the open water
swim, an on site food service will provide the as tasty meal (extra
cost).</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The Lake Berryessa swim is one of the great open water swims. The
water is fresh, the air is pristine, the course is long but has a
great view. Enjoy the swim.</div>

<div><b>STANFORD</b></div>
<div><font size="-1">.I wanted to give a heads up to all registered
PMS swimmers that we offer long course swimming at nearly all of our
workouts (with a few exceptions in the evenings). Any swimmer
from within PMS who would like to join us for some long course
training is welcome to do so with no commitment by purchasing a 7 Swim
Pass for $50.....the pass never expires and is good at any of our 19
weekly workouts.</font><br>
</div>
<div><font size="-1">On a separate but similar note.....In addition to
our regular Saturday morning workouts, we will be hosting some
"Impromptu" long course racing every Saturday morning in the
month of May (13th, 20th, and 27th). We'll run 20 lanes long course
and we'll race in 8 to 10 lanes. We'll race something like
four rounds of "your choice" 50m, 100m, and 200m swims.
Individuals can pick and choose what they swim. We will
not offer the 800, but can probably accommodate just about anything
else. These WILL NOT be</font></div>
<div><font size="-1">official swims, but just some practice racing,
getting off the blocks, and quality swimming in the competition venues
for the FINA Championships. ANYONE who is USMS registered is welcome
top join us at no charge on these days. The workouts are from
6:00 to 7:30am. I ask that guests arrive at</font></div>
<div><font size="-1">about 5:50am for set-up and warm-up. We'll
run as many heats possible with some warm-up time before and recovery
swimming mixed in-between the rounds. Anyone interested in some fun,
LOW KEY, racing is welcome to join us!</font></div>
