2006 One Hour Postal Swim

As you know, every year there is a One Hour Postal event. This year is no different, except that the USMS National Office is using this event to help raise runds for hurricane relief. The event form will be available on the website and should also appear in the newsletter. Here is what Tracy Grilli has to say about this worthwhile event.


The 2006 One Hour Postal Championship is being used to raise funds for relief efforts for Hurricane Katrina victims. Please note that you may add any donation to your entry fee to support those in need. It is the intention that funds generated will be directed by USMS leadership to those USMS members severely affected by the storm, or to the clubs or organizations that support their swimming efforts.

Also, clubs, LMSCs and any other interested parties may wish to consider donating outside of the One Hour event. You are welcome to submit your donation, payable to USMS, to:

USMS Katrina Fund
USMS National Office
PO Box 185
Londonderry, NH 03053-0185

Please note on the check that funds shall be directed to the USMS Katrina Fund.

A 2006 USMS Membership is required to enter this event. People planning to enter this event should obtain their 2006 USMS Registration in November or December 2005.

Please spread the word to your members and THANK YOU for opening up and contributing to our fellow swimmers in need.

Let's help our fellow citizens and swimmers by participating in this event. One suggestion is to make this a Saturday workout for those who are interested in it. Regardless, make sure you sign up and make this your first "meet" of the new year.
