<div><font color="#0000FF"><b>OPEN WATER SWIM
CANCELLED</b></font></div>
<div>The Oktoberfest swim that was scheduled for September 23 has been
cancelled. This means that there are two fewer open water
points-eligible events on the schedule. Consequently, this decreases
by one the total number of swims that an individual can use to earn
open water points for the open water points competition. If you were
holding off on doing your</div>
<div>last swims for the last event of the season, that will now be
Whiskeytown.<br>
