A loooonnng switchover this fall

beckydreasher

I just got word on the plan for moving inside this fall. With the Rec Center going through extensive renovations this fall, it’s going to be an especially long transition.

Key points to remember:

  • Weekday morning swims stay outside through the first week of August.
    • First swim at Centennial is Monday, August 10.
    • There is no morning masters on Labor Day, Monday, September 7.
    • While the Rec Center pool is closed, Centennial will open at 5 am!
  • Noon-time swims stay outside through the week of Labor Day
    • There is no noon-time masters swim the week after Labor Day.
    • The first noon-time swim at the Rec Center is Tuesday, September 22.
  • Saturday morning swims stay outside through the week of Labor Day.
    • First swim at Centennial is Saturday, September 19.
    • Start time changes back to 7 am when at Centennial.

There’s always a chance that things change based on how the Rec Center renovations go, but this is the plan.

Summer League Swim for Adults

Another opportunity for fun swimming events this summer is the Grown Up Swimming of the Rockies Summer League.

The goal of summer league is to recapture the joy of being outdoors, fun racing, and team socializing as adults. Individual events are 25s and 50s and a 100 IM. Short, fast and fun!

Relays are 100 Free, 200 Free and also include a multi-gen relay where you can bring the kiddos to do a relay with you! There is also usually a Fun relay – think a little bit silly.

There are four meets and then the “Championship of the World” to cap off the summer season. Meets happen on Friday nights in Boulder and include a bunch of teams from the area. These take about 2 hours including warm up time. There is a social dinner out following each of the meets.

It’s still off in the future, but it’s coming: SUMMER. That means we’ll be switching over from indoors to outdoors soon. As in previous years, the switchover runs over two weeks, with noon-time and Saturday swims switching over the first week, and 6:00 am swims switching over the second week.

As in previous years, there is NO MASTERS SWIM on the Saturday or Monday of Memorial Day weekend.

Here’s the summary:
