2006 Ocean/Open Water Schedule as of Sunday, June 4, 2006
Races
that are highlighted and listed in BOLD CAPS
are a part of the SPMA Ocean Series 2006.
These races are sanctioned events, open only to swimmers registered
with United States Masters Swimming in order to provide USMS insurance
coverage to swimmers and event hosts alike. Points will be kept and
awards will be given to the top SPMA-registered swimmers in each age
group at the end of the season. An "X"
in front of the date indicates the swim and date (or the cancellation
of the race) is confirmed for 2006.
Non-sanctioned races are open to all swimmers (USMS registration not required). However, only USMS sanctioned races will have USMS insurance coverage.

map, and follow directions to the beach you are interested in.
