Swim against the C-for Mark D- 

Masters swimming meet & fundraiser

March 20, 6:00 p.m., at the Civic Center

All pool events are sponsored by Great Lakes Home Healthcare.  This meet will also serve as a fundraiser for one of our very own, Mark Dressler: community member, swimmer, father, friend.

Mark was diagnosed with colon cancer in December and what better way to lend support for him, but to swim for him.  Mark has been a team member for 3 years and has helped us with several team fundraisers.

You can sign up for the standard events or just come with a relay group of 4 people, at a $20 per relay and swim a relay(s) that does not require any formal competitive swim experience.  We might also need a few freestylers for the 200 free relay at the end.  Knowledge of the four strokes is helpful but not mandatory.

Relay #1 200 Medley Relay, 4 people total,  (Back, breast, fly, free order)but one person will use arms the other person will hold into their feet and kick and then switch at the 25 and then change partners for the next 50 ...i.e. for backstroke, one person on back, doing arms, other person holding legs and kicking, switch at the 25.  Cant do fly? do free! That's fine! It's all for fun!

Relay #2, 100 yd Noodle relay, 4 people, one at a time, sit on a noodle, like a horse, bike etc...and get yourself to the other end,using arms only!

Plunge for distance....see how far you can streamline, from a dive, without taking any strokes or kicking!!

Please join the crowd for an all ages after party starting at 8:30PM at the Filling Station!The Filling Station would like to join the Grand Traverse Masters Swimming team in supporting Mark Dressler.  A portion of the POST MEET sales will be pledged to Mark's efforts. A dollar from every $5 pint, along with 15% of the cost of the "Master's Pie" will be donated!  Thank you for helping us support Mark! 

This event is not just limited to GTMS members as the general public is invited...so get your game on...dive in and help support Mark's cause.
