GBM Summer Events and Challenge

Hi Team!

Summer approaches quickly and with it the long course and open water meet
seasons. We are fortunate to have a number of excellent LC meets and open water
races in easy reach of seacoast swimmers. In the meantime, please support the
JT Clinic on Sunday, May 20, 8-12. The day will include a motivational speech
from the seacoast's very own Olympic swimming legend Jenny Thompson. This is an
opportunity for expert instruction on starts, stroke, turns, technique and
sprints by experienced coaches and Jenny. Sunday is for swimmers age 19 and
over and two of our members, Pete S and Aagje C, will be members of the coaching
team. Further information is available on doverswims.com. Swimmers may
register on the day. Funds raised will support the future of the Dover pools.


NELMSC LCM Champs – Sunday, June 3rd
This year the NELMSC LCM Champs has been moved to our backyard, so let's rally
GBM team for a fun day of LC racing at Harvard's fine Blodgett pool. The meet
is on Sunday, June 3rd. Entries will close when the meet reaches 500 swimmers.

GBM's very own LC meet will be held this year on Sunday July 29th at the Jenny
Thompson pool in Dover. The meet will feature a full program of 50s to 200s,
plus relays, with 400s if time allows. Coach is challenging GBM swimmers to
swim both LC meets, with the aim of establishing race times at the NELMSC
championship and then trying to beat those times at the JT meet after 6 weeks of
LC training. There may be some nifty prizes involved for those who are up for
this challenge!
