Registration Information for the
2010 Cascade Lakes Swim Series
Please pre-register by mailing this completed ENTRY FORM ( page 2) along with your check and copy of your USMS card by July 19, 2010. This allows us to do all the data entry work in advance where air-conditioning and reliable electricity is available to our wonderful unpaid volunteers! However, we will accept day-of-race entries (with an extra $20) as long as you show up before the registration/check-in period closes (see schedule below).
Swim one race or all five of them! It's only $30 for the first race and $5 more for each additional race. If you swim the 500, 1000 and 1500 we also invite you to enter the Short Series. Or, if you swim the 1500, 3000 and 5000 also enter the Long Series. Note: you cannot enter both series and you must pick a series prior to your first race! There is no extra charge to enter a series event and you just might walk away with a souvenir ceramic coaster. And if you complete all FIVE swims, you'll receive a complementary glass mug to help quench your thirst after all your hard work!

Did we mention FOOD? Yes, we will provide swimmers (at no extra charge) with morning snacks, hot and cold drinks, and an awesome lunch on Saturday and Sunday. Friday night swimmers will also receive a small meal after their evening swim. We've been told we provide the best spread in the open water business - and all with a spectacular view ! Spectators are asked to contribute $5 per person per day to offset the cost of the food and transporting it up to the lake (please indicate the number on the entry form so we have enough food for everyone). We have some wonderful and talented vendors that supply our hospitality needs - bring the family and make it a great food, fun, water and beach experience!
Please see quidelines in regards to Parking and Dogs on the entry form - You can read - enough said!
