Hello MAST Families, We are fast approaching the end of the school year and it seems that the Covid restrictions are being changed on an almost daily basis too. While no one can know for certain how these changes will impact our world moving forward, there are certain lessons learned that should carry forward regardless of the covid levels. Not the least of these is a continued attention to standard personal hygiene practices including swimmers not sharing water bottles. While the public restrictions are being lifted everywhere, the coaches at...

Hello MAST Families, Congratulations to all the MAST swimmers who competed this past weekend at the CAC meet. Getting in early season racing is a good way to learn about each swimmer and racing is the most specific form of training. The meet was very short and the swimmers had very little rest between races, but the benefit of getting in five races in an hour was tremendous. Congratulations to all the MAST swimmers for great efforts and positive attitudes. We have another opportunity for the first long course meet...

Hello MAST Families, It is hoped that everyone is doing well and getting excited to get back to the pool. One of the most engaging aspects of competitive swimming is the ability to control your progress. In swimming, there is almost always a direct cause and effect between working hard and achieving results. One of the most enjoyable things about this sport is being able to measure improvement on an almost daily basis. In a very short amount of time improvement can be achieved by making a faster cycle, going...
