WEEKLY UPDATE - Sunday, October 25, 2022

Monty Hopkins
Hello MAST Families,                                                                                                                          2022-0925
 
The first short week of MAST practices went very well. It was great to see all the enthusiastic new swimmers and welcoming back our returning team members. We encourage all swimmers to attend every MAST practice but we recognize that many of our swimmers have other activities and commitments, so we hope that they will make it to as many MAST practices as possible.
 
REMINDER: MAST MEET October 14 - 16:  Sign-ups will be available on the website in the next day or two.  If you are not sure if your swimmers is ready for a swim meet, please check with the group lead coach. (Red 1 – Corey, Red 2 – Erin, Red 3 – Erin, Black 1 – Emily, Black 2 – Corey or Monty, Black 3 – Corey or Monty).  This meet is a home meet so we will need all parents to help run the meet:  hospitality, announcers, timers, Meet Marshals, concessions, and other tasks critical to running a great meet.   
As noted in last week’s update - The idea behind an early season meet is to get our swimmers accustomed to the swim meet experience in a low stress environment (our pool). 
 
PROPER SWIMMER ATTIRE: 
We have had a few swimmers show up to dryland wearing the wrong kind of footwear for dryland exercise.  Please have your children wear athletic type shoes.  Swimmers who have slides, sandals, crocs, stiletto heels or other shoes that make proper activity risky may be asked, at the coaches’ discretion, to not participate fully or to sit and watch dryland.  This is for your child’s safety.
 
USA SWIMMING MIGRATION TO "SWIMS 3.0":
USA Swimming has decided to change how swimmers register, how communication is disseminated, athlete protection (MAAPP), how results are tracked, along with a host of other things too numerous to list in this update.  This change was instituted at the beginning of September and the MAST Coaches and Board are working through the details.
The most important thing is to be alerted to is that parents will have to go onto the SWIMS 3.0 site to complete the their swimmers registration.  We will provide more information in separate updates this week.
