There are a few Sharks planning on swimming Big Shoulders this year in Chicago on September 6. There is a 2.5k and 5k swim option.
They are doing a lottery system for registration and tomorrow is the last day to signup. Right now they have about 100 spots available. As it stands now, everyone entered in the lottery would get into the swim.
Normally this event sells out with in a day. Last year it set a record and sold out in a couple of hours. If you are interested in swimming Big Shoulders this year please register here.

As many of you know we have gone down to 2 lanes at UD due the increased rental fee this year.
From time to time when we know that a decent size group is coming we will be able to reserve a third lane.
We will ask at DRAC practice on Wednesdays and if you aren't there and think you are coming on Saturday to UD please send me an email.
So, come join us this Saturday if you can!
