Looking to Improve your Swim Times?
For those of you who are looking to improve your swim times, or just some friendly faces to swim with, Buckeye Masters will be starting tomorrow, June 16 from 6:30-8:00. Dues for the summer session are $10. If you have a pass to RPAC, that's all you'll have to pay. If you do not have a pass to RPAC, but want to join, you have several options for entrance: pay per visit ($10), buy a group of passes (cost varies), or buy a pass for the summer session (details: http://www.recsports.osu.edu/membership_pricing.asp) To enter with any of those options, you will need a sponsor, which is no problem at all, just let me know if you'll be coming and I'll put you in contact with someone who can help.
