Hi MVMers,
Swim ‘n Schmear: Quick reminder that we will have a Swim ‘n Schmear this coming Saturday. Bagels, cream cheese, OJ, and coffee on deck during the Saturday morning workout. Chow down and hang out with your fellow MVMers.
Alcatraz Swim: Deadline to sign up for Coach Flo’s super duper Alcatraz swim is September 1st. The swim is September 12th. Click here to register. If you’ve never done it then you are in for a treat. If nothing else you’ll totally impress all your friends as you subtly slip your accomplishment into a casual conversation.
Swim clinics: We still have a few more swim clinics this summer. Check the white board on deck for dates. Clinics are complimentary from our fabulous coaches.
Tahoe Relay: Congratulations to MVM swimmers on their epic 50th Anniversary 11.5 mile Trans Tahoe Relay this month! MVM members Coach Kevin, Coach Liz, Catherine Harris, Aaron Wood, and Jason Julliette along with MV YMCA Coach Stacey Wong placed 2nd in the 240+ Mixed Relay with a time of 4 hour 11 minutes and 52 seconds. Their amazing support crew included Malavika, Aaron’s fiancée, Soeren, Liz’s son, and Calvin, Catherine’s son. After Aaron crushed the finish, the entire team swam into shore to find out they placed second and won a 50th Anniversary 2nd Place red Yeti water bottle. See photos attached.
If you are interested in swimming the Trans Tahoe relay, please speak with one of our coaches. You need to be able to swim in cold water for 30 minutes straight, swim at altitude, and put up with a lot of logistics. However, you do not need to be a fast swimmer to compete. There are swimmers at all speeds with the above constraints swimming this race. Our coaches can help you put together a team for speed or for fun.
Happy swimming! MVM
