Winter Fitness Challenge Throwback
A few weeks ago we participated in the 30 minute Winter Fitness Challenge. We had some good relaxed fun. Some people participated at different times, so not everyone is pictured.
A few of us went out to Rentsch Brewery afterwards to complete our evening.
We will take part in the summer and fall challenges as well.
2018 Winter Fitness Challenge
What?
We are participating in the USMS Winter Fitness Challenge! This event is a 30 minute swim done in any you want – so equipment and/or relays are ok. The Winter Fitness Challenge is an official fundraiser for the USMS Swimming Saves Lives Foundation.
To help organize this, we have created an event on Facebook; make sure you say you are coming: https://www.facebook.com/events/1643464085748259/
Make sure you invite your friends! I’m hoping everyone has some fun – plus we might go out afterwards. If your friends are newer swimmers this is a great chance to get introduced into masters swimming. If they need a little boost to train for this, I will welcome them in practice.
When?
We are doing this event at 6:30pm on February 23, 2018 – at the Georgetown Rec. Center.
If you can’t make it then, you can do this on your own time as well. Just make sure you register and do it before the 28th!
How to Register?
To participate, you will need $12 to register for the Winter Fitness Challenge at: https://www.clubassistant.com/club/form/usms_verify.cfm?form_type=Event%20Registration&c=2426&cid=76207

This is what U.S. Masters Swimming says about the new program:
About Our Refer-a-Friend Program
