SNM 2024 Holiday Party Schedule
Holiday Party on Saturday December 14, 2024, starting at 5:30 pm at Rick & Cathy Trachok’s Barn. Thank you for hosting!
SNM will be celebrating the holidays with a potluck get together! During this social event please bring a food item and a wrapped/surprise gift for an auction to raise funds for The Food Bank of Northern Nevada which will be emceed by Coach Steve. Auction buyers beware as occasionally there may be a few items that might be considered humorous gifts of differing values. On the other hand, there may be some very nice items acquired at a bargain. Our goal is to exceed a total collection of $3,500 (which SNM has collected in the past).
Location: Please see the Constant Contact announcement or contact Jim Lawrie or John Pettibone for the address.

Local Swim Meet – Sunday, March 2, 2025
SNM has reserved the new Moana Pool for a short course swim meet on
Sunday, March 2, 2025. The swim meet is intended to give our membership
an opportunity to get official times prior to the short course championship
meets. Proposed schedule of events:

2 50 Free – Mixed
3 100 Back – Mixed
4 50 Fly – Mixed
5 200 IM – Mixed

12 100 Breast – Mixed
13 1650 Free – Mixed (limited to 2 heats)
We are planning on opening registration on January 2, 2025. For those of you
that may want to swim the 500 or 1650 free events, it may be important to
register early as entrees will be limited to two heats for those long-distance
events. Anticipating disappointment from a few 200 Flyers, perhaps consider
swimming that stroke in event #10 200 Free. Pacific Masters Swimming
calendar.
Enjoy the holidays!
Thank you.
