Lot of things are due this week or happening this week.
PALO ALTO OFFICIALS CLINIC TUESDAY NIGHT _ TONIGHT
There will be an officials clinic for Masters Swimmers at Mitchell
Park Community Center, free of cost. The clinic will be Tuesday
evening Jan. 27, from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. in room #1. The
officials clinic is a great way to learn the technical rules of
swimming.
We are honored to have Marvin and Joyce Lamphere as Referee's. They
will have the registration forms with them to join the United States
Swimming. We have to do this for insurance to be on the deck. The
cost is $40.00. If you complete the coarse and take the open book
test and work at either an age group or
master meet, (not Championship Meets,) the PMS will pay you back the
$40.00 registration fee after you have worked two meets
The address of Mitchell Park Community Center is, 3800 Middlefield
Rd. Coming in either from North or South 101, turn west on
Embarcadero/Oregon Expressway. It is a little shorter to stay on the
Oregon Expressway. Go 2 miles to Middlefield Rd. Turn South (left).
Drive 3 miles on Middlefield Rd., past East
Meadow and the Community Center is the driveway past the stoplight on
the left at Mayview. Turn right into drive way. ( no name on drive
way).
If you are coming in from Mt. View or Menlo Park, get to Middlefield
Rd. The Community Center is between East Meadow and Charleston, 50
feet or so from the stoplight of Mayview.
Our Master swimmers will appreciate seeing the fantastic stroke and
turn film. It is one of the best I've seen.
