Just had to give something for us northerns to write about. You know you are swimming in the north when you go for a polar bear swim.

    swim was not an "official" event. You may have been able to find it on the Allegheny Mountain Masters main page (go to places to swim--click on PA--click on Allegheny Mt. Masters {1st line}. There are maybe 3 events per year (the CMU meet usually in January, the JCC Short-course Y meet in March-April and the JCC Long-course in August) that aren't really sanctioned events. They are usually coordinated by one of the members of the JCC who also swims for Y-Masters. You can contact the JCC for the non-CMU meets but they also know about the CMU meet. USMS doesn't seem to be real popular in the Pittsburgh area. They do swim at the University of Pittsburgh facility but no local meets (meaning in Allegheny Co. or surrounding counties). There is a contact, I believe, on the Allegheny Mountain Masters page for the local Y representative.
