”TURNLESS TUESDAYS” AT WALDEN POND (contact Tommy Gainer)

When the weather warms up and the New England spring makes a turn toward its famous summer heat, are you looking for an escape? Then come join a season of Turnless Tuesday swims at the Pond!

Turnless Tuesdays are a chance to get out from the city and enjoy the serenity and beauty of Thoreau's famous Walden Pond. They are not a Cambridge Masters event and any and all are welcome. Attendees range from die-hard open water swimmers who are looking for a chance to train, to non-competitive swimmers who enjoy a cool dip in the idyllic setting. At summer's end, we also make a special outing to Woods Hole, Cape Cod to view the bioluminescent waters there and the glowing (but non-stinging) jelly fish.

The swim schedule is every Tuesday, rain or shine, beginning in early June and lasting through the end of September or whenever the Pond is deemed too cold. We form carpools out to the Pond, departing from various Boston area locations around 6pm and meeting in front of the Walden guardhouse at 6:30pm. As the daylight begins to wane at the end of the summer, we often meet earlier to avoid getting locked out of the parking lot when the Pond closes early.

Every December, CMSC holds a Holiday Party at a local pub following the completion of the short-course meters championship meet at BU. Food and beverages are served. Coaches’ gifts are also presented and all team members are encouraged to attend.
