Weekly Message - Sunday, April 10, 2022
Hello MAST Families & Welcome Back From Spring Break,
It is hoped that you had an enjoyable spring break and are ready to get back to swimming with MAST. The spring practices will initially focus on low stress training, developing technique and improving skills. The training will ramp up a little faster than in the fall and we will be looking forward to getting ready for spring and summer competition.
The “Spring” and “Summer” season, at least for USA Swimming clubs, is also called the “Long Course Season.” Not all of our MAST swimmers will be ready for competition in the long course pool (50 meters ~ 55 yards, as opposed to the 25 yard long short course pool) but we want to encourage everyone to compete in meets that are appropriate for them.
For most of our Red group swimmers, summer league and other short course meets will offer great opportunities to continue improving while all of the Black groups should plan to compete in USAS, Long Course meets.
We encourage Red group swimmers to talk with their group coach to determine when they will be ready to compete in Long Course meets.
-
MAST Practices start tomorrow – Monday, April 10, 2022
-
The practice schedule for the month of April is included at the end of this message
-
Once we get started there may be some adjustments to groups and practice times to better serve all members. It is hoped that these changes, if the happen, will not be too major.

-
Notes to this week’s practice schedule
-
Thursday, April 14 - The Spring Pizza party at the Lemming House is on Thursday so there will be no MAST practice on that day. There have already been several e-mails sent regarding the details, if you have any questions please contact Board President Brian Roeper.
