I'm also one of our club's officers and I take care of a lot of the club communications. Regarding next week's event, typically I'd gladly promote it, but the timing is a bit bad as one of our club sponsors (French Creek Racing) also has a swim event the same day and we try to point our members to the sponsored events. If you learn about other future OWS events at Blue Marsh, please let us know. Regarding future club swim workouts, you are welcome to join us. We're typically at Blue Marsh 1-2 times per month (Saturday mornings). We don't currently have our next visit planned... Maybe Aug 6 or 20. We post our Blue Marsh swims to our private Facebook group. You are welcome to join our group to stay tuned in to what we have planned; here's the link (when you access it a join request will be generated)... https://www. facebook.com/groups/msgators/ We do have about 8 members registered for IM AC 70.3, so if you are looking for others to train with, this could be a good option. We are based in the Royersford/Limerick area and do a lot of our training on the Schuylkill River Trail between Phoenixville and Philadelphia. Might be a hike for you if you live in Reading area, but you are welcome to join us for a workout if you are interested.

I can't remember the names of everyone I met but wanted to pass this on to you. There is an organized 1 mile race in Blue Marsh next Saturday Jul 30 hosted by Berks county Aquatic hall of fame. There is a lot of support in the water and it's a times event. It's not a very large event but good practice. The event is located at a different area of the lake (Church Road access) than the beach where everyone swam today. If interested go on line to Berks County Hall Aquatics Hall of Fame website for registration form. The fee is $25.00 Also, I also wanted to say I would enjoy meeting up to swim with your group if you come back to BM for more practices. I briefly spoke to a few people who are doing the 70.3 in AC in Sept and would love to practice swims with them as I'm also doing that event. I can be contacted in fb or this email address. <image1.PNG> <image2.PNG> Sent from my iPhone
