2012 Swim Row Go (Sun, Jan 29th): Register Now!

REGISTRATION
• U of T students/AC-members...$5.00+hst
• All others..................................$25.00+hst

*Click here to register*, or at the AC Main Office.

DESCRIPTION
The annual Swim Row Go is taking place January 29!! This is a triathlon event where we compete indoors, and replace biking with an erg workout.

The format is as follows:
- 15 min swim (50m pool, count the number of laps)
- 5 min transition period (dry off and transition to rowing area)
- 8 min row
- 5 min transition
- 15 min run (on the Field House track)

The Swim Row Go is an inter-university event, and last year teams came from Waterloo, Queens, and Western. How it works, is we'll have waves of women, men, separated by veterans and rookies that will race in waves of 8 people starting every 20 mins. Then, points are awarded based on the distance covered within the time limit for each sport. Afterwards, there will be food and award presentations in the Student Lounge!

The race takes place on Sunday January 29th. Participants need to show up in the AC lobby at 8:15 AM on the morning of the event for sign-up and race-kit pick up; the first ware starts at 9 AM. (FYI: the AC doors will open at 8 AM that day, since it's a Sunday). After everyone has completed the race, food will be provided in the Student Lounge and an award ceremony will take place.

We're looking for both RACERS and VOLUNTEERS (or people to do both!). Please post below whether you want to race or volunteer! If you have any questions, please email us.

Hope to see you there!!
