2010 Open Water Commencement Swim at Del Valle

The Swim From Del Valle
About 30 Creekers participated in the 1.5 national championship open water swim race, and the shorter .75 mile preliminary race, held at Lake Del Valle in Livermore on Sunday, June 4.  Swimmers enjoyed near perfect water and weather conditions.  The water turned out to be much warmer than we expected, around 70 degrees.  There was a large turnout for the day, and the competition in each group was fierce.  Notable first place finishers in their age groups were Don Brown, Ed Lane and Dean Harper.  We will update the list of competitors and our other WCM award winners as soon as the race results are available on-line. After the race, about 40 Team members and family members enjoyed a Team picnic hosted by the Team, with Chefs Bosco and Tom Flickinger making sure no one left hungry.
