This cache is placed in honour of all the volunteers that help
make competitive swimming in Manitoba successful. To run a swim
club and/or a swim meet requires many volunteers. At a typical swim
meet, for example, close to forty volunteers are required for
timing, stroke & turn judging, electronics operations, chief
timer, chief stroke & turn, chief finishing, starter, referee,
meet management and hospitality. In honour of these dedicated
volunteers please join a geocaching swimming pentathlon.
Five caches have been placed near popular swimming pools in
Winnipeg. Each cache represents one event in the pentathlon (200
Freestyle, 200 Backstroke, 200 Breaststroke, 200 Butterfly &
200 Individual Medley). As the events get more difficult (as
determined by my kids), the caches get more difficult (although
none are particularly hard).
First second and third place (FTF, STF, TTF) in each event
(cache) will be awarded gold, silver and bronze placing. As with
standard swimming scoring, gold placement is worth 5 points, silver
placement is worth 2 points and bronze placement is worth 1 point.
Points will then be summed to determine the gold, silver and bronze
placement for the overall pentathlon winners. No real medals will
be awarded.
Swimmers, take your mark....beep!
