AND JUST FOR FUN...

 

While working on customizing "The Road to Gold" slogan for Open Water Swimming, a few suggestions were made: "Goal of Lake Domination," "Gift of Long Distance," and even "Get Outta the Lake, Dummy!"  (That last one's from my brother.)

 

Playing with anagrams for "The Road to Gold," yielded "Add hotter logo."   (Obviously, you have a lot of time to think while you're swimming; maybe too much.)  Best of all, an anagram of "Open Water Swim" is "Repeat swim now!"

 

The search goes on.  If you would like to play, send your G.O.L.D. acronym or Open Water Swim anagram to Jeanie Neal at aquatics@brownell.edu.  We'll post contributions here.
