The Random Rainbow Relay (6x50 metres freestyle) (Tuesday, July 28th)
The Random Rainbow Relay is a relay with swimmers put together randomly from different clubs. You get to meet other swimmers and compete together. The only aspect that isn't random is your times, so that the teams go well together. All swimmers get either a red, yellow, orange, green, blue or purple swim cap, and they swim in the order of the rainbow. You can already register now by sending your time for 50 metres freestyle to lars@mermates.dk. Please send it like this: First Name Last Name 0:30:15. Be accurate – as that makes the relays more balanced. Then we will set you up with your new team friends.
Synchro Workshop on Sunday - Guinness World Record Attempt
Irene Marcoux, a Swiss-Canadian is heading the Synchro Workshop on Sunday afternoon where you can rehearse for the opening ceremony show - yes, you read that right. We are inviting you to be a part of the opening show, synchro swimmer or not. If more than 100 swimmers get in the pool there will be a Guinness World Record. The application is on its way to Guinness already. Please check out the instruction videos on youtube. Search for "myriadsofmermaids" or Irene Marcoux. Please also send an e-mail lars@mermates.dk to express your interest in the Guinness World Record attempt. With 52 synchro swimmers registered now we only need another 50-60 swimmers to break the record. Be part of it!
Send your music as MP3 (for Pink Flamingo or synchronized swimmers)
Please send us your music for your pink flamingo or your synchro show as an e-mail attachment in the MP3 file format. Send it to lars@mermates.dk. Then we will save it for you and look after the technical side of things. Just to be sure to also bring a CD in your bag as well.
