[PacMasterUpdate] Pacific Masters Update January 25, 2006 - Swim for Malaria

[pacmasterupdate at PacificMasters.org]

LAST CALL FOR MASTERS SWIMMERS
SWIM FOR MALARIA
OR SWIM AGAINST MALARIA

Olympian Janet Evans to be there

  Details for Saturday's "Swim for Malaria" at Stanford's Avery 
Aquatic Center from 10:00am to 1:00pm.

Belardi pool opens to swimmers at 10am for lap swimming.  Swimmers 
should enter on West side of the pool - follow the blue "Swim for 
Malaria" signs.

Olympic champion and world record holder Janet Evans who serves on 
the athletes committee for FINA will speak at about 10:30, followed 
by an info session about the 2006 FINA World Masters Championships at 
Stanford in August.  Coach Tim Edmonds will demonstrate good starting 
techniques and swimmers will be able to try out the Stanford starting 
blocks - an opportunity to swim in the pool that will host the 
Masters World Championships. (The Stanford blocks are set at the 
maximum height from the water - .75 Meters - one should dive from 
them to get the experience of diving from very high starting blocks).

Swim for Malaria is sponsored by the 2006 Local Organizing Committee, 
Stanford Masters Swimming and Speedo. All  participants will receive 
a Speedo "Swim for Malaria" cap - plus a great time and a 
contribution to an important cause.

There will be mosquito netting on display so you can see what $5.00 will buy.

For early registration, call 650.856.3200 or email 
mailto:anne at 2006finamasters.org. Checks to be made out to Swim for 
Malaria - there are information sheets posted at various positions 
around the pool area.

For information about the world wide Swim for Malaria (or swim to 
prevent malarial vectors biting sleeping humans in remote areas of 
the world) please go to
