Friday, April 17, 2026
Mark your calendars for next Friday, April 17th for our first social of spring! We’ll be at Mavericks Beach Club in Pacific Beach starting at 5 PM. For those of you who are Pickleball people, bring your racket! We’ve reserved two courts and we’re going to have a mini pickleball tournament. When you arrive, sign up and we’ll either partner you up with someone or you can bring your own partner (plus ones are more than welcome).
Courts are reserved from 5-7 PM. We’ll get the tournament started ~5:15 PM. That’ll give everyone a few minutes to get warmed up. And, for those of you who are competitive — I recognize that many of us are swimmers first, not ball sport people. That’s okay! Come and have fun; I know I’ll be out on the court giving it my best.

Pancake Pentathlon
Sunday, April 19, 2026
The first — and most fun — San Diego swim meet of the year is here! On Saturday, April 19th, San Diego Swim Masters will be hosting their annual Pancake Pentathlon at UC San Diego. This meet is a little different than normal, what you do is pick a distance (50, 100, or 200) and swim that distance of each stroke plus an IM (100 IM if you swim 50’s, 200 IM for 100’s, and 400 IM for 200’s). And that’s how you get a “pentathlon”! Pancakes are served up to swimmers who participate and a good time is had by all.
We’ve got a small contingent currently registered. Why don’t you sign up and join them! Registration is $50. If you’re not registered with US Masters Swimmers (our club code is PLUNJ) you can get a one day registration for $20 or join US Masters Swimming for a year for $75.

What is Masters Swimming?
Masters Swimming is a coached swim team. In this case, “Masters” simply means 18 and older. Our team is affiliated with U.S. Masters Swimming (USMS). Team members who choose to register with USMS will have access to sanctioned events (swim meets) and receive their bimonthly SWIMMER magazine. Membership with U.S. Masters Swimming is not required to participate in practices.
