So, what’s a Narwhal anyways? And, who is “OPEN” Swim?
Ask your Doctor if OPEN is right for you:
· Have you ever tried to do a relay by yourself?
· Have you experienced the sweet taste of victory but had only your cat and your mirror to share it with?
· Do suffer from feelings of loneliness at swim meets or open water swims because you have no team?
· Are you finding that therapy and beer are just not the right answer all the time?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then OPEN may be for you.
Who should not join OPEN?
Swimmers with a diminished capacity for fun….Etc., etc. Ask your doctor if OPEN is right for you!
What is OPEN?
The OPEN Narwhals are an un-coached group of swimmers whose primary focus is to grow participation in Oregon Masters Swimming (OMS) while promoting competition and camaraderie.
How does OPEN work?
By activating the brain’s “Fun Centers” with regular opportunities for fun and socializing, OPEN encourages involvement in swimming meets & in open water swims and can place you on a relay team.
OPEN members also work with each others strengths and weaknesses by coaching each other within the group and tailoring workouts to meet the current needs and goals of the members.
Dear Charlie,
This is way too cool : ) Good for you, keep up the good work.
