SwimRI is once again helping New England Masters Swim Club defend its title in this national month-long event by running organized heats for 2016 USMS-NEM members. This is a participatory event. You may swim whatever stroke(s) you wish, at whatever pace you wish, continuously or with rest breaks.
SwimRI-South County Y masters swimmers given priority. Other NEM members welcome if/as space allows. Cost is ~$10 per swimmer. Time is TBD but usually between 9:00am and 12:30pm. Swimmers in one heat usually time/count for each other during the other heat. Post-swim luncheon at ~1:00 or 1:30pm at Bike Stop Cafe in Narragansett.

Check-in and warm-up open at 8:00am. Heats start at 9:00, 10:20 & 11:40. Cost is ~$13 per swimmer. RWU college swimmers will count/time. RSVP required to douglas.sayles@swimri.org with your prioritized heat preferences (e.g., 2-1-3). Post-swim social gathering at Aidan's Irish Pub.
The Hour Swim heat will start at ~9:45am, after the regular 8:00am masters practice ends. Cost is $5 to $10 per swimmer. We can ask for volunteer timers from among the practice swimmers but you should arrange your own timer if possible. Please RSVP to douglas.sayles@swimri.org.
