the Walnut Creek Masters and the Tri Valley Masters in late April. 
The meet will be held in Pleasanton.

The Short Course Meters Meet will be organized by the Walnut Creek 
Masters and be held in the diving pool at Heather Farms in October of 
2007.

2008 US MASTERS SWIMMING CHAMPIONSHIPS
The 2008 USMS Short Course Yards Championships will be held at the 
University of Texas in Austin. The long course championships will be 
held at Mount Hood, Oregon.

OPEN WATER SWIM CANCELLED
The Oktoberfest swim that was scheduled for September 23 has been 
cancelled. This means that there are two fewer open water 
points-eligible events on the schedule. Consequently, this decreases 
by one the total number of swims that an individual can use to earn 
open water points for the open water points competition.
