[GBM ENews List] Please sign up! Fall Season Coached Masters Workouts at Portsmouth Pool

Fall Season Coached Masters Workouts Program at Portsmouth Pool BEGINS MONDAY SEPT. 9^th.

The Portsmouth Pool has put together a SUPER-ATTRACTIVE program package for the Fall season, with coaching support provided by Great Bay Masters (GBM).

Key Points are as follows:

Still at the very convenient time of 6pm-7pm, Mondays and Wednesdays.
Open to non-residents Portsmouth.
No requirement to be a current GBM/USMS member.
Varied, engaging, challenging and FUN workouts with Coach Crystie, our experienced, highly qualified and inspirational on-deck coach.
New VERY FLEXIBLE and EXCELLENT VALUE financial arrangements: $200 for Fall season (non-residents), $175 for Portsmouth residents. The program allows you to use your pass for make-up swims during adult lap swim (up to 30 swims total; expiry 12/31) so that you get full value even if your schedule means you have to miss some of the coached workouts.

While there is no requirement to be a current GBM/USMS member to participate, we welcome and encourage participants to join GBM/USMS. We are very appreciative of Portsmouth Pool's commitment to masters swimming and hope that there will be very strong support for the program from the GBM community to ensure the program's continued success. If you have any questions, please contact Guy davicass@aol.com, or Coach Crystie greatbaymastersswimteam@gmail.com.

Portsmouth Indoor Pool is open! A HUGE THANK YOU to the entire team at the pool who worked tirelessly over the summer to complete a FABULOUS REFURB - new roof, new starting blocks, bright fresh paint job - and on time re-opening!

PLEASE SIGN UP!!! SEE YOU AT THE POOL :)

[GBM ENews List] Sunday, Sept 8th, JT Pool: One Million Meters for Soren

Cancer has struck the Seacoast Swimming Community. 6 year-old Soren Cooper, who swims for Seacoast, was recently diagnosed with Burkitt's Lymphoma. This is a fairly aggressive yet often treatable form of Lymphoma. His whole family is immersed in the swimming community since his mother, Erika, is the Masters swim coach at UNH and his father, Vaughn, is a frequent pool visitor during his Ironman training.

What better way to rally around a young swimmer but to come together as a community and swim as many laps as possible. The goal is to get as many people to swim as many laps as possible with the hope to reach One Million Meters. We welcome you to come and swim at the Jenny Thompson pool in Dover starting at noon on September 8 and swim as many laps as you can. You can swim for an hour or two or three or four. All abilities are welcome. There will be lifeguards on deck as well as many talented coaches who can offer technique help if wanted.

Where: Jenny Thompson Pool in Dover, NH

When: September 8, 2013. Will start at noon and plan as swimming as long as you can.
