Marathon continues to have magnetic appeal

Swimming

For the second consecutive year, the Pueblo Swim Club’s Pueblo Open will consist of a combined age group and masters meet June 13-15 at Mineral Palace Park’s 50-meter outdoor pool. Masters competitors will be seeded by time with age group swimmers. They must be 2008 U.S. Masters Swimming members with a valid registration card. Entry forms accompanied by fees and a copy of one’s USMS card are due June 7. Inquiries should be directed to drgimlin@gmail.com .

Meanwhile, endurance swimmers looking for a real challenge can test their long-distance mettle in the second annual 4 Loops 4 Fun 6K Open Water Swim on June 28 in Prospect Lake in Colorado Springs. Swimmers can split the chore by forming a relay team or tackle the entire 3.72-mile distance.
