Hello Swimmers!
The following is a list of important notes and activities
taking place in the upcoming weeks related to FAST:

1.) We're back on the regular 7-8:30pm M,W & 9-11am practices at the
Patty Center beginning this Wednesday, Jan. 18th.

2.) Next Saturday, January 21st, we'll have a breakfast Potluck at
Dave Leonard's house after practice.

3.) Next Saturday will be, as well, the 1-hour postal swim event.
Please look at www.usms.org for further details.

4.) You must be registered for all USMS sanctioned events (Alaska
Championships, postals swims, etc.). Please visit www.akmswim.org
for the form, or talk to Steve Taylor, the state Registrar, if you
have questions about this.

5.) The Saturday after next (January 28th) will be the 1st Annual
FAST Ski-Run-Swim Winter Triathlon. Details to come at practice, or
email me with questions. Let's try to get a big group of people out
for this (and we'll need some non-competitive helpers, too!
Husbands, wives, fiances, & friends??!). Note: NOT a USMS event.

6.) Next month's breakfast potluck is tentatively scheduled for
Saturday February 11th, after practice, at Robbie Herrick's house.
This will be the last chance to gather and relax before the state
championships!!

7.) Alaska Masters SCY Champs met is Friday and Saturday, February
17th and 18th. Please find the registration form on
www.akmswim.org, and enter by February 10th at the LATEST. Let's
try to field a good size team again this year. Ladies, any takers??

That's all for now. I hope everyone's having a great start to the
new year, and I look forward to seeing everyone at the pool soon!

Happy Swimming,
Pieter
