UPCOMING MEETS
Lake Berryessa TOMORROW - Saturday
On June 3rd, Davis Aquatic Masters hosts the 25th Annual Lake Berryessa Swim.
	http://www.damfast.org
This is a great open water swim. One can swim the two mile swim and 
then turn around to swim the one mile swim. After the open water 
swim, an on site food service will provide the as tasty meal (extra 
cost).

The Lake Berryessa swim is one of the great open water swims. The 
water is fresh, the air is pristine, the course is long but has a 
great view. Enjoy the swim.


XI FINA World Masters Entry Deadline is tomorrow- SATURDAY
The registration deadline for the FINA Worlds is 3 June 2005. You can 
register online at
	https://www.usms.org/comp/worlds06/entry/

This is a great place to compete against swimmers in your age group 
and ability. You can swim any of the long course events if you make 
the qualifying time. The 3KM open water swim will be at Crown Beach 
in Alameda - water temperature is expected to be between 60-71 
degrees. Swimmers can swim up to five individual events (but only two 
on a day), three relays and the open water swim.

Swimmers from over 70 countries have entered the meet. Teams that 
have over 20 entries include, Walnut Creek, the Olympic Club, 
Stanford, Menlo Masters, USF, San Mateo Master Marlins, Mountain View 
Masters, Tamalpias and Rinconada Masters.

If you can meet the qualifying times you are eligible, but you must 
be a member of a swim team. You cannot swim "unattached."
