Weekly Update - Sunday, August 29, 2021
Hello Everyone,
Last weeks update is copied following this short message.
We would like to thank all of those who attended evaluations last week and also those who participated in the first week of swim clinics.
Both of these events have gone well and we are looking forward to another productive week.
The second week of stroke clinics will review the fundamentals from week one and we will do work on starts and turns.
Please note the schedule change this week.

Now - the message from last week repeated:
It is hoped that the start of the school year is going well and that you are excited to get back to swimming with MAST. We know that there continues to be some uncertainty surrounding all the Covid complications and it is hoped that everyone is healthy. We were able to make it through the changing environment last year and I am confident that we will again find a way to thrive regardless of circumstances.
Plans for the start of the Fall/Winter swim season include: (1) The Fall Stroke Clinics - August 23-26 and August 30-31 & September 2-3, (2) A new family "Open House" - Thursday September 2 at 7:00 pm, (3) MAST Swimmer group meetings and SwimVille fitting, (4) Start of fall practices - Monday, September 13
All returning swimmers will start the season in the same training group they were in at the end of the summer. As we get into the season, the plans for advancement and growth as a competitive swimmer will be at the forefront of our training plans. If you are a swimmer who wants to move to the next level, we will provide a specific set of standards for you to work toward. We are looking forward to sharing these plans with everyone.
NEW SWIMMER EVALUATIONS: Anyone interested in joining MAST should go to the New Swimmer Evaluation link and sign-up for an individual evaluation. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080c4fa9a72ca1fc1-swim10
(1) FALL STROKE CLINICS - Each clinic is four days. Clinic #2 is scheduled for August 30-31 & September 2-3. Swimmers 10 & younger are 6:00 - 6:45 pm and Swimmers 11 & older are 7:00 - 8:00 pm. Please arrive 15 minutes early. Clinic #2 will build from those basics and add some skills like starts and turns. If you haven't signed up and want to participate go to https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080c4fa9a72ca1fc1-mast1 to get signed up. If you are a junior or senior and are interested in getting volunteers hours for school by helping "coach" please contact Coach Monty.
(2) NEW FAMILY "OPEN HOUSE" - We would like to invite all new families (parents and swimmers) to attend a one hour Open House at the pool on Thursday, September 2 at 7:00 pm. MAST coaches will be present to introduce themselves and make a few brief comments about the groups they coach. Board members will be present to share their perspectives on family involvement in competitive swimming. Time will be scheduled for a Q & A session at the end of the Open House. We hope to see all new families and prospective new families at the Open House.
(3) MAST "WELCOME BACK" MEETINGS AND SWIMVILLE FITTING. All swimmers should plan to attend the "Welcome Back" night on Thursday, September 9. Each group is assigned a specific time for a meeting with the coaches and time to meet with SwimVille reps to get fitted for the team suit and order additional equipment and apparel. We will also introduce performance standards that will be used to motivate progress at practice. It is highly recommended that both swimmers and parents attend the group meetings.
