AN APOLOGY
Phylis Quinn who has been a great help with the Local organizing
committee sent me a private email which I accidently sent out to all
the people who are on this email list. I apologized to her this
morning and I am sorry it went out contributing to excess email being
sent to your email address. This is also the reason you are getting
this email 20 hours later than I had planned.
DO YOU HAVE SWIMMING FRIENDS IN OTHER COUNTRIES?
If you have swimming friends in other countries and know the coaches
and teams in other countries, would you be interested in telling your
friends about the XI FINA World Championships that will be held in
Northern California next year.? Much of business is done by person
to person contact, we would like you to just inform your foreign
friends about the upcoming championships and about northern
California. Please see the article at the end of the email if you are
interested. We could use your help.
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

OFFICIALS CLINIC
The Pacific Swimming Officials Clinic will be held at the Community
Center in Vallejo, California. This annual event will be especially
memorable as Charlie Mallery, will speak on the Referee, Janine
Dennis will talk about starting, Pat Lunsford, will speak on being a
stroke and turn judge and Jamy Pfister will speak on being an admin
referee.
Charlie Mallery has been on the rules committee ( I think he was an
official at the Soule, Olympiad). Janine Dennis has been a starter at
the Olympics and World Championships as had Pat Lunceford. These
official will be able to relate a lot of experience. The Q & A ought
to be great!!
Have a good week
