GO THE DISTANCE
A new fitness event was created this year by the USMS Fitness 
Committee.  The name of this new challenge is "Go the Distance"! 
This is a great way to track how much distance you cover during the 
year (or the next six months).

The objective of this event is for participants to track the distance 
they swim during the year 2007.   When participants achieve specific 
distance milestones of 50 miles, 100 miles, 250 miles, 500 miles, 750 
miles and 1000 miles - they will be recognized on the USMS website 
and awards will be available for purchase (for a minimal fee).

There is no cost to enter this event.  Participants are requested to 
email (or use snail mail) to submit the total distance they swim each 
month.  A list of miles per month and cumulative mileage will be 
tabulated for each swimmer.  Once a distance milestone is achieved 
awards will be available for purchase.  They will include swim caps, 
certificates, patches and t-shirts with the event logo and the 
distance of the milestone achieved.
