<div><font size="+1" color="#0000FF"><b>GO THE
DISTANCE</b></font></div>
<div>A new fitness event was created this year by the USMS Fitness
Committee. The name of this new challenge is "Go the
Distance"! This is a great way to track how much distance
you cover during the year (or the next six months).</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
miles, 750 miles and 1000 miles - they will be recognized on the USMS
website and awards will be available for purchase (for a minimal
fee).</div>
<div><br>
There is no cost to enter this event. Participants are requested
to email (or use snail mail) to submit the total distance they swim
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
include swim caps, certificates, patches and t-shirts with the event
logo and the distance of the milestone achieved.</div>
