Swim meets!

Still not sure if you want to sign up for a swim meet? Check out this article "Afraid to Try A Swim Meet?" and maybe it will change your mind!

Then, check out my last post below and see what meets are coming up!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Swim-A-Poolooza 2015 (Jan 25): This is a 100 x 100 challenge in Lemont. Additionally, there is also a 100 x 75 or 100 x 50 distance. Each distance (100, 75, 50) are set at the 1:40 interval. Anyone up for this challenge?!

St. Charles Masters Super Bowl Meet (Feb 1): This is a fun one! Why not pick a couple events and swim before you head to your Super Bowl parties! The meet starts at 8 AM and if you swim towards the beginning of the meet you can be on your way before the noon hour!

I have already signed up...400 IM for me! Beware the deadline is Monday, January 19th and there are NO DECK ENTRIES! So, go and sign up and let's get a group to go swim at this meet!

• Remember your T-Pace...think back! These 100s will be speedy! T-Pace + :05-:08 sec. Use the range to put your time at an easy-to-calculate interval.

• Try to even split your 100s = go the same time for all 3!
