Weekly Update - Sunday, December 5, 2021

Monty Hopkins

Hello MAST Families,

Congratulations to all the MAST swimmers who swam so well at Fishers.  Some of the time improvements have been spectacular and almost everyone went best times in almost ever event.  It seems that MAST had a very successful weekend.  

We know that these weekend meets are a big commitment on the part of our families and they don't always have such impressive outcomes but when they do, like this past weekend, everyone should feel great about it.

Those who competed all weekend (especially those who made Sunday finals) are likely to be getting home late.  While normally we do not want swimmers to miss Monday following a weekend meet, with another meet coming up this weekend, it is suggested that the swimmers who competed this past weekend take Monday off. 

Some swimmers do better when they do not miss any days, so if your child is one of those who does not want to take Monday off, it will be OK if they come to practice.  The younger swimmers (at their parents discretion) should take Monday off.  If you are unsure, please contact your group coach and ask the coaches opinion.

Next up is the MAKOS meet.  We have a small entry but it is hoped that we will continue to see improvement for the work our swimmers have put in these past several weeks.  This same weekend, Evan Fentress will be going to Greensboro, NC to compete in the USA Swimming Junior National Championship.  High school swimming has also started up so our high school aged MAST swimmers will be competing for their schools in various meets through the high school season.

The meet information is posted for the MAST Sprint meet on December 17 & 18 as well as the Ohio LSC Virtual Distance meet.  We want every eligible MAST swimmer to compete in the hosted MASY Sprint meet.  If you are interested in the Distence meet, please discuss with your group coach.

With the meets coming up this week and the high school schedule kicking in, we have to make a couple changes to this weeks practice schedule.  Please check out the schedule posted below and note the changes to Red 3, Black 1 and Masters on Tuesday and Thursday.
