Whiskeytown Lake Open Water Swim - PacMasters Open Water Championships 12 September 2010
This year, the two mile swim has been designated the Pacific Masters Swimming Open Water Championship.  Whiskeytown Lake is just outside Redding so plan to drive up the day before. This is a beautiful lake. There’s a nice shady picnic area and beach so bring the family. This event is in the early fall and the weather can be either chilly or hot. The lake is a bit cooler than Berryessa (think mid to high 60’s). If you plan to do both the 1- and 2-mile events, be prepared to feel a little cold at the start of the 2-mile. Post event snacks.

Richmond Plunge - Remodeled Pool - New Masters Team
Richmond Plunge Masters (RPM), has been formed and will begin workouts next week at the recently restored Richmond Municipal Natatorium (“The Plunge”).  The Plunge is a grand 1920s-era indoor swimming facility located in Point Richmond that was closed in 2001 due to building deterioration and seismic problems.  The Plunge was just reopened on August 14th following a multi-million dollar restoration and preservation effort.  RPM, along with a new USA youth team (Richmond Sailfish), have been organized under Richmond Swims and the Richmond Friends of Recreation, a tax-exempt non-profit, with the mission of revitalizing youth and adult swimming in the City of Richmond.  John Schonder, formerly head coach of the Oakland Barracudas, will coach both youth and Masters teams.
