<div>Davis Aquatic Masters is starting a new postal event - the DAM
Brute Squad Postal. This event is the 200 Fly, followed by the 400 IM
followed by the 1650 Free (or as Jim Clemmons said "It is 300
Fly, followed by the 100 back, then the 100 Breast, and the 1750
free).</div>

<div>There is also another Brute Squad event (Brute Squad Light) - the
difference is that in the BSL, the swimming must swim the events on
the same day as opposed to swimming it in 90 minutes:</div>
