In case you didn’t know, the Mega Millions lottery jackpot is up to $1.2 billion. The jackpot is projected to be up to $1.6 billion by next Tuesday night’s drawing. If you buy a ticket and win, promise to set aside a few million for a new Longmont pool. I’m sure Brian will let you name the facility anything you want.
Settling in
We’ve had three morning sessions at LRC now. Monday morning we had three lanes: one gold/silver (4 swimmers), one silver/bronze (4 swimmers), and one iron (2 swimmers). I’m working to design sets that accommodate different speeds, so everyone can find a spot that works for them. If you haven’t come to swim at LRC yet, come give it a try.
Our new home (for now)
Today was our first Saturday at the Longmont Rec Center. We only had 3 lanes, but only 6 swimmers, so it was fine.
On the plane ride home last night, I planned out a set (“pacers & chasers“) that allows gold/silver, silver/bronze, or bronze/iron to swim in the same lane. I’m not sure how well the set works. I know it looks more complicated than it really is. I’ll keep working on sets that will keep us moving in the space we get.
Keep in mind that the Rec Center does not open its doors until 7 am, so if you plan to swim on a Saturday, don’t bother coming early.
Good luck, LRC people
I’m still out of town, so I won’t be around for the first Friday morning at the LRC. I’m dying to know how it goes. Can someone provide a report?

We will be allotted 3 lanes for each session – at least for now.
Keep a good attitude. We’ll figure out a way to make this work.
