EGAT One Mile Open Water Swim--Saturday, August 13; 8:00AM

Picture
All MTSC Masters swimmers are invited to participate in a one mile open water swim challenge on Saturday August 13. This  swim is open to all levels of swimmers from novice to those who compete. 
  • Location: from the dock behind Ron’s house located at 136 Island Drive in Hendersonville 37075. Please park either in circle section of driveway or out on the street. Be mindful of parking on neighbor’s lawns so nobody crushes their sprinkler heads. 
  • Start time - we will jump in at 8 a.m. Arrive early enough to have ample time to get organized before we start. You do not have to ring the doorbell to announce your arrival - simply walk around the house and back to the dock. 
  • Entry - this is an all-comers non sanctioned event. We would like to know if you plan to attend so email us at commandoswimmer@hotmail.com When you let us know please indicate the interval time that you swim your 100’s on at a cruise interval. Ron is old so if you simply tell him you are entering he won’t remember. Please email your intention to swim.
  • Kayak support - yes we would love some extra kayak or SUP rowers to support the swim. Ron has 2 kayaks to loan so if you didn’t reserve one then please bring yours along. Thanks.
  • Awards - yes, this is EGAT because EVERYONE should get a trophy. Thanks to all of you who donated awards throughout the winter on ‘Trophy Tuesday’ as they will come in handy. Remember this event has ‘no budget’ so we don’t purchase awards, we grab ‘em from people’s attics and garages to be ‘re-purposed’. 
  • Breakfast - will be furnished after the swim to enjoy some team bonding and hand out trophies. Please respond by Aug 1 so I have a head count-- both for those swimming/kayaking and those who simply want to come and be with our team. 

Several of you have asked me if you are ready for this swim - absolutely as we swim more than a mile at every workout you attend. Looking forward to a fun adventure as we wrap-up our summer of training!
