Eastern Zones Open Water Championships Thrive in National Harbor
Aug 15 - WaveOne's coaches organized the Eastern Zones Open Water Championships at National
Harbor, MD. Age group swimmers travelled from across the eastern U.S to compete in 1k, 2k and 3k races in our
new open water course. The meet director approached WaveOne to help relocate the open water champs to
National Harbor in early August due to an overwhelming sea nettle population at the original site. Approximately 150
swimmers from under 10 to 18 years old enjoyed the new venue in races from 1k to 3k.

Bruckner Befriends Jellies
during Monterey Bay Swim
Aug 24 - Bruckner Chase successfully
completed the second ever crossing of
Monterey Bay, Ca in 13:50. The heroic
swim is the culmination of two years of
training and awareness building of "Ocean
Consciousness", National Marine
Sanctuaries and Monterey Bay Aquarium.
An accomplished marathon athlete, he said
this was the toughest swim he'd ever
attempted. Encountering jelly fish during
the entire swim, Bruckner told me in the
last mile "there were more jellies than
water." Knowing attitude and positive
thinking are the key to any successful
marathon swim, he drew strength from his
cause as an ocean advocate when the
pain got bad, and he also made an odd
peace with the jellyfish along the way. He
said, "I'm getting stung by them out
there, but I'm recognizing that there's
nothing bad in the jellies. They're beautiful
The open water is an environment we all
need to contribute to protecting and
preserving, in any small or large way.

2012 MANHATTAN ISLAND MARATHON ENROLLMENT
OPENING
The 2011 swim season is barely over but many swimmers are already looking ahead to
2012, particularly to the Manhattan Island Swims. That's right, Swims.
The 2-event format that we tested out this year was such a success that we've decided to
continue it into the future. Beginning in 2012, the Manhattan Island Swim will be split
into two events in order to maximize the number of participants: the Manhattan Island
Marathon Swim for solo swimmers, 2-person relays, and a new 3-person option called
Team Pursuit in June and the Manhattan Island Relays for 4- and 6-person relays in
August. Enrollment for both events will open soon; here's what you need to know:
• New for the June 23 MIMS: Team Pursuit. One of the newest open water swim
formats on the world stage is making its way to the Manhattan Island Swim. Teams of
three swimmers will swim together as a pack, pacing and drafting off one another along
the course. Team members will finish together, taking the time of the last team member
crossing the finish as the official team time. It's an exciting new twist for those who want
to share their 28.5-mile journey around Manhattan with a couple of friends and cut down
on costs.
• Great news for swimmers who prefer to swim in warmer water: there is no water
temperature requirement for qualifying swims for the August 4 Manhattan Island Relays,
and there is a pool qualifier option as well.
• Enrollment for the frequent participant slots for solo, 2-person relays, and 3-person
Team Pursuit teams, the slots dedicated to Swim Free fundraising, and Corporate team
slots will open at 1:00 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, October 25, 2011. Swimmers in those
categories will need to receive clearance ahead of time. General/open enrollment for
solo swimmers, 2-person relays, and 3-person Team Pursuit teams will open at 1:00 p.m.
EDT on November 1, 2011.
• Enrollment for the Manhattan Island Relays event for 4- and 6-person relay teams
will open at 1:00 p.m. EDT on November 21 for frequent participant and Swim Free
fundraising slots and for general enrollment on December 1.
Policies and Application Procedures for the June MIMS are currently available on our
website; the equivalent information for the August Manhattan Island Relays will be
posted by November 1.
