Check-Off Challenge
Go the Distance in 2010!In the past three years, GTD has become the fastest growing USMS program. More than 1,000 members participated in this USMS fitness event in 2009. GTD is a self-directed program intended to encourage Masters swimmers to regularly exercise and track their progress. There is no time limit for the distance milestones, except that they must be achieved in the calendar year 2010. Speed does not count - just the effort to attain whatever goal you set for yourself. GTD is on the honor system - you track the distance you swim. Daily, weekly, or monthly, you enter that information into your online Fitness Log (FLOG). When you achieve certain milestones, ranging from 50 miles through 1500 miles, you will be recognized on the U.S. Masters Swimming website, in the monthly e-newsletter STREAMLINES, and receive special prizes from our new title sponsor for the event, Nike Swim. There is no cost to enter GTD. You may register for GTD through your FLOG in the My USMS section of the website. Your FLOG allows you to to track all your fitness activity, not just swimming, while simultaneously participating in GTD. Once you've entered GTD, your results are automatically included in the daily summary reports, and your milestone awards are sent directly to you. Nike Swim is partnering with All American Swim Supply to provide the awards for certain milestone achievements. The recognized milestones and associated awards are as follows:
