NEW YEAR REGISTRATION
It is that time again - time to re-register. The 2006 year will be a 
big one for Pacific Masters Members. There will be the three annual 
championships as well as the XI FINA World Championships will be held 
next year at Stanford's Avery Aquatic Center. This will be a great 
time to compete in great competitive conditions.

It is very important that clubs re-register, as we cannot register 
members for a club UNTIL the club is registered.

For athletes that wish to change clubs without an extra cost, you can 
register with a new club without waiting 60 to compete.

Forms that are available are

OFF THE WALL
I am writing this from Santiago, Chile, the site of the 2006 South 
American Championships. I am here primarily to encourage swimmers to 
travel to Stanford for the XI FINA World Masters Championships. I was 
able to swim in the 400M Freestyle, where I took 2nd Place. Again I 
would like to thank Jim Clemmons, Tod Spieker, Jim Delacey, Jim 
Miller and Jon Steiner for passing up these championships, allowing 
me to get another medal.

I have been very impressed with Santiago, the people are great. I 
could not ask for more help that what has been given to me at the 
championships. The food is very good, the wine is wonderful and the 
mountains in the background. Santiago is five hours ahead of San 
Francisco.
