OPEN WATER CLINIC
The San Mateo Master Marlins are sponsoring an open water clinic. The 
focus will be on the fundamentals of open water freestyle. Time will 
be spent in the classroom and in the pool at Joinville Aquatic Center 
and at the open water course at Parkside Aquatic Park. The number of

For all of you going to the SC Meters Championships this coming
Friday (1500 Free) and Saturday, Sunday (all other events) here is a
probably not complete check list to make sure all is as it should be:

1) Have your 2001 PMS/USMS Reg card with you ? -- just in case.

2) Pack extra goggles, suit, water, etc ?

3) Low on gas ?   Fill up the night before -- and that goes for your
own 'tank'  -- good time to eat some extra 'carbo's' last few days
before meet.

4) Try to get a little extra sleep last few nights also -- dont go
'overboard' -- but an extra hour each night for last few nights can
make big difference.

5) Be sure to arrive early enough to have plenty of time for
'check-in' AND a good warmup!!

6) After each race be sure to get a proper warm-down/recovery swim --
very important if you are swimming multiple events each day.

7) Do some 'mental rehearsal' for each race -- "see" yourself
swimming as you want and expect to.

8) Have fun -- and remember: We are all in this together !!

THE BERRYESSA SWIM THIS YEAR IN ON A TRIAL BASIS

The Bureau of Reclamation has insisted that Davis Aquatic Masters cut 
down the vehicular impact.  They are asking all participants to 
carpool as much as possible. When you think of going to the Open 
Water Swim at Berryessa, make plans to bring your swim teams mates.

Also cars have to be properly parked. There were many cars that were 
towed because they were not parked properly. To keep the Lake 
Berryessa swim we all have to pitch in to make it work.

PACIFIC MASTERS SHORT COURSE YARDS CHAMPIONSHIPS
The 2002 Pacific Masters Short Course Yards Championships will be 
held in Santa Cruz, April 12-14, 2002. Come on down and cheer your 
swim mates on:
	http://www.pacificmasters.org/comp/02cruzscy.html
Joel Wilson wants swimmers to note:
1.  that women's events are odd numbered and men's events are even 
numbered (I think the on line meet sheet does say this).
2.  that all relays are deck seeded. Relays are entered the day of 
the meet at Pacific Masters Championships.
