<div>A new fitness event was created this year by the USMS Fitness
Committee. The name of this new challenge is "Go the
Distance"! </div>
<div><br>
The objective of this event is for participants to track the distance
they swim during the year 2007. When participants achieve
specific distance milestones of 50 miles, 100 miles, 250 miles, 500

USMS website and awards will be available for purchase (for a minimal

each month. A list of miles per month and cumulative mileage
will be tabulated for each swimmer. Once a distance milestone is
achieved awards will be available for purchase. They will

CLUBS?</b></font></div>
<div>I have been working on way to show where the Pacific Masters
clubs are located. I have used maps.google.com and Google earth to
show were the clubs are located. This is a work in progress and not
everything is on the map. Many clubs are not on the map, because
the address that we have for your club is the coaches home address. I
did not want to put that address on the map. There are some clubs that
might not want to be on the map, for different reasons. I would
appreciate it if members of a club would check out the map to be sure
that the pool is in the right place and if you have a website to be
sure that I wrote the URL correctly.</div>
