Hello MAST Families,
 
Black 2 & Black 3 Morning Practices Begins Tomorrow – October 24
 
Practice is 6:00 – 7:15 am.  That is a short practice so please be early (ready to enter building at 6:00 am) and ready to get in the water promptly.  Remember these are additional practices, not a substitution for afternoon practice.  The morning practices are strongly recommended but not required.
 
MAST Team Pictures Tomorrow – October 24
 
Team photo at 5:00 pm. 
Individual photos to follow. 
Wear team suit. 
For more detailed information see the October 19 th & 20 th e-mails about team photos.
 
Halloween Practice
 
Black 2 & Black 3 will have regularly scheduled practice – all other groups are cancelled on Monday, October 31.  Boo!
 
Swim Meets:
 
RAYS October Invitational (October 21 – 23): This past weekend 58 MAST swimmers competed in the RAYS October Invitational.  There were numerous excellent swims and many new personal best times.  It was a great learning opportunity for everyone and put us in the right place, from a swim training point-of-view, to make a lot of progress over the next several weeks.  Full meet results will be posted to the Events page as soon as they become available.
 
November Meets:
  • RAYS November Invitational (November 11 – 13): The meet information has been posted to the Events tab on the MAST website.  Please go to the Events tab and select the RAYS November Invitational then select the Edit Commitment to let us know if your swimmer would like to be entered in this meet, and which days they can attend.  If there are certain events your swimmer would like to enter, please make note in the comments.  If you are not going to enter your swimmer in the meet, please select the “Declined” tab so that we know your intentions.  Note that the commit date in Tuesday, October 28
  • MARLINS Jose Cerda Memorial Invitational (November 18 – 20): The meet information has been posted to the Events tab on the MAST website.  The same procedures for declaring or declining as the RAYS November meet apply to this meet. This meet is for 14 & Younger Swimmers only.  Black 2 & 3 Swimmers who are 14 & younger should not enter this meet unless they are not able to enter the Nov. 11-13 RAYS Invitational.    The commit date for the Cerda Meet has been moved up to Thursday, October 27.
  • Fishers Santa Claus Invitational – The decision whether we are going to attend this very popular meet will be taken very soon. 
Parent Attending Practices
 
We encourage parents / family members who want to observe swim practice to do so. Please sit in the large bleacher parallel to the pool instead of the smaller set of bleachers at the turn end of the pool (below the record board). Your children will look to you for feedback and/or approval and in doing so will often miss out on communication from the coach.  Thanks for your understanding and support.
 
Family Members Attending Swim Meets
 
We encourage parents / family members who want to attend swim to enjoy the event as quality time with your swimmer(s).  Parents are often asked to volunteer to help as timers, deck marshals or in other roles necessary from running a meet.  Officials are critical but need to get training to become certified USA Swimming officials.  If you are interested in becoming a USAS certified swimming official, please contact Andy Eminger.  Andy will direct you toward the needed training.  
 
Due to Athlete Protection rules, only officials, timers, and coaches are permitted on the pool deck at a swim meet.  There are other rules that are in place that may seem confusing at first but USA Swimming National Office at the behest of the membership has put these rules in place to protect our swimmers.  Some of the more obvious rules, but not all, include No Cell Phones behind the Starting Blocks, No parents or adults in the locker rooms and required Athlete Protection Training for older swimmers.
 
Some may find it interesting that at the USA Olympic Trials (and the Olympics) only swimmers and officials (including timers) are permitted on the deck.  Coaches must remain in a designated area off the “clean” deck.  So, if you want to be on deck for the Olympic Trials, you had better get started on qualifying for the Trials as an athlete, or becoming a USA certified official.
 
Where In The World Is Corey Dauw?
 
The answer is - Scotland… but he will be back by October 31.  Coach Corey was offered a “once in a lifetime” trip to Scotland. Even though we miss having Coach Corey at practices and meets it was hard for him to pass up this opportunity.  Keep the heid, haste ye back!
