Team K-Man Swim News - 

Mark,Ellen,Teresa,Jen,Janel at Nationsals 
We support camaraderie and longevity in the sport of masters swimming. To see pictures and MOVIES check out our K-News Swim Picasa Album

-----------------------------------
Swim Coaching Nancy Prier will be continuing her coaching and we feel fortunate to have her as "Coach Nancy"We appreciate her dedication and help in making every swim workout interesting, challenging, and FUN!  Our plan is to continue with our coaching payment plan. Nancy will take August off from coaching and we will have substitute coaching for August. The static coaching fees, however, will help send Nancy to some advanced coaching clinics.  If we all donate to our coaching fund it will be very easy to continue in a fiscally prudent manner. Thank you Bick for being our Treasurer


How to Pay for Coaching
Our new payment system for coaching is easy to use. Use your credit card to pay on PayPal.  If you have trouble, ask for help, but no cash payments.
To Pay for Swim Coaching at the Masters Swim Page on this Blog

(perhaps our June Social speakers)

The Koast Ride - AKA Stage 4 TOC - Carmel to Cambria (100 miles) This was the 9th year and perhaps we had the best weather and wind ever! There were 26 of us that took part. Every moment was a highlight. Check out the pictures at the K-news Bike Picasa Album. Great appreciation to all that helped and especially our very helpful drivers: Rick Prier(lead SAG), Paul Allen, Nancy Prier, Whitney Saubert, and the Zappi.
