RULES
1. To ensure that all your practices count in your total you must have completed your 2026 USMS registration. http://www.usms.org/reg/register.php All practices completed before USMS registration will not count.
2. Each coach/swimmer will keep individual records of who was in attendance (a roll sheet will be available FOR you to sign in). These records will be combined at the end of the challenge. You are welcome to keep track of your practices, but please do not have coaches mark practices that you attended with another coach. (Give those to Coach Mark; you must get signed off by the coach you swam with)
3. Double daily workouts do not count.

We'll see you in the pool . . . just watch out for the icebergs!
