Here is the RTC website:

&lt;a href="http://www.richmondtriclub.com/"&gt;www.richmondtriclub.com/&lt;/a&gt;

and here is their calendar (which includes the OW training):

&lt;a href="http://www.richmondtriclub.com/page/calendar-1"&gt;www.richmondtriclub.com/.../calendar-1&lt;/a&gt;

There is one this Friday. Jay Peluso is in charge of the OW swims.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
