13th Annual Cascade Lakes Swim Series and Festival
The Oregon LMSC held the 13th annual Cascade Lakes Swim Series and Festival from August 1 - 3. This swim festival is located in Elk Lake, Ore., which is one of the Cascade Lakes.  It is a picturesque mountain lake at 5,000 feet elevation surrounded by the South Sister and Broken Top Mountains.  Mount Bachelor is just a few miles down the road.  The water temperature of the lake was 67 to 71 degrees F.

The events included the USMS 5K National Championship [results] plus separate 3K, 1500, 1000 and 500 swims.  This truly was a weekend of swimming, relaxing and socializing as this event had something for everyone. Read more...

Jeanne Ensign and Mel Goldstein at the 2008 USMS LC NationalsClub Development
The USMS Club Development program wants to help your club. One of the key factors in our USMS Strategic Plan is membership growth and retention of members. USMS has funded a pilot program for the sole purpose of assisting workout groups, clubs and teams develop their adult aquatic fitness programs.

The program will bring a USMS expert to your community to provide mentoring on building and growing your program.  Clubs and workout groups must understand the different reasons why people swim, and by focusing on recruiting members who seek benefits the club offers, the group can better serve and keep new members.  If you are interested in participating in this program, which is fully funded by USMS, please contact Mel Goldstein at (317) 253-8289 or via email.  

USMS is excited to provide this program to your club or workout group!
