Binghamton University Masters Swim Team (BUMS) in conjunction with Niagara LMSC will be hosting the One Hour Postal Swim event at Binghamton University (West Gym Pool) on Saturday, January 19th, 2013. There are limited slots available, so please contact Steve Kristek as soon as possible if you wish to participate: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Please provide your USMS ID# when signing up with Steve.

Objective: To swim as far as possible in one hour. Event results are sent in electronically or by mail so you can compare yourself to other swimmers doing the same event. Some people do the One Hour Postal event for competition, while others do it for fitness; all who wish to participate are welcome. The recorded distance (total yards swum) that you submit determines the order of finish.

You MUST be a currently registered member of USMS ON or BEFORE THE DAY OF YOUR SWIM! You MUST contact Steve to swim at BU. Please do not register for the event online and show up at BU without contacting him first.

Event information and online registration

There will be a maximum of 2 heats at BU, with as many as 12 swimmers in each heat (Max 2 per lane). You may get your own lane if your heat is not full. Estimated start times for heats will be as follows: 1st heat at 6:30 am and second heat at 7:45 am. Swimmers should state their start time preference and expected distance but there is no guarantee you will get that time slot. Faster swimmers will be seeded in the middle lanes, at the discretion of the meet host. The pool will open at 6:15am for warm-up. There will be a 15 minute warmup following the conclusion of the first heat. Please be on time for the start of your heat.

Timers and split sheets will be provided by the BUMS.
