Nationwide Pentathlon Invitational Championships – Oct 26 (SCM) and 27 (SCY)
Central Oregon Masters Aquatics (COMA) is inviting enthusiastic multi-stroke masters swimmers to Bend, Oregon, for the inaugural version of this Pentathlon Championship Meet. This is a pentathlon meet only, in which you can register for a five-swim pentathlon on either or both days. To keep it real, you cannot sign up for a smorgasbord of swims like most other meets. And don’t forget records; as an inaugural meet, all pentathlon winners will set Championship Meet Records, and there are plenty of pentathlon events to go around for the different courses, distances, and age groups.
Facility:
Juniper Swim & Fitness Center
800 NE 6th St
Bend, OR 97701

Go The Distance (GTD)
Registration and Results for all Zones by year can be found at USMS Go the Distance.
GTD is a yearly self-directed event intended to encourage members to regularly swim and track their progress. Distance is the important metric for this virtual event, not speed or time. Certain distance milestones also have prizes attached to them.
GTD is on the honor system—you track the distance you swim and report daily, weekly, or monthly).

1974-1997 USMS Open Water & Postal National Championship Results Posted
The History and Archives Committee has worked diligently for 15-plus years to locate, scan, and document event information and results for AAU Masters and USMS Open Water, Long Distance, and Postal National Championship results.
They have located and documented 128 result files (wow!) for AAU Masters and USMS Open Water, Long Distance, and Postal National Championships from 1974-1997. All result files have been posted and can be found on the Open Water National Championships and ePostal National Championships pages under the Prior National Championships section on each respective page.
