Our new season starts on Tuesday so it's time to start thinking about your goals for the season. How about competing in a postal or a meet?
Here are two upcoming events to consider:
2011 USMS 3000-yard and 6000-yard Postal National Championships - Individual or Relay Team.
Must be swum in its entirety on or between September 15 and November 15, 2011.
What's a Postal? Swimmers swim a distance in any 25-yard or 25-meter pool during the sanctioned dates. You record your time and submit the results electronically (formerly mailed thus 'Postal') to USMS so you can compare yourself to other swimming doing the same event. Postals were originally developed so that swimmers in areas without nearby clubs and sanctioned meets could still compete.
