$5 from each entry (only $20) will be donated to the Flathead Lakers (501c-3) to protect Flathead Lake, the largest natural fresh water lake west of the Mississippi. It lies at the base of Glacier National Park in northwest Montana.

Here is a link to the February Results for the 2016 Postal Swimtathlon League. Congratulations to our 20 entrants!
At this point, Bethany Lee (Hawaii Masters via Germany) and yours truly lead the respective genders. Several participants have not yet turned in times, but I'd imagine that will change this month as several meets are on tap. Once I get a few more entrants and time submissions, I'll break the results into age categories.
Please note, you don't have to swim all five STAGE events in one day. You have literary license by swimming one event per day, from the blocks, an in-water start, any course (LCM, SCM, SCY), in a meet or practice.
It's not too late to register for the league! $5 from each entry goes to a local non-profit, The Flathead Lakers, to help protect the lake's watershed.
Stage One (Short Pentathlon) closes at the end of March, and prizes will be awarded, so make sure to get registered and get all five times submitted!
