Hello MAST Families, WU # 14 / 2023-1217 Meet entries for the Clippers meet have been submitted. PRACTICE SCHEDULE DECEMBER 18 – 31 Practice schedule for Christmas break is based on pool time that is available to MAST. This is a great opportunity to get in a solid two weeks of hard work. We hope to see everyone at every practice but if you are unable to attend practice take time on the days you can’t attend to do a dryland workout at home. Dec. 18-24 WK # 15 MONDAY...

Hello MAST Families, Wishing all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving. We are grateful for all of the MAST families and your swimmers. USAS REGISTRATIONS: Thanks to everyone for working with us to resolve the new member registration. It was complicated but it seems like everything has now been updated. SWIM-A-THON: If anyone has not turned in Swim-A-Thon money, please bring your checks to the pool and give to Coach Monty. I will make sure that team treasurer Tom Campbell receives your contribution and you get the recognition for supporting...

Hello MAST Families, W/U #11 / 2023-1119 WTRC MEET ENTRIES Entries for the WTRC meet have been sent. Many meet hosts are limiting entries to a meet cap, so we are trying to send our entries to all meets as soon as the meet host begins accepting entries. This meet cap policy has been in place for some time at the national meet level for some time but has only recently filtered down to local USAS meets. Please be advised that the entry commitment deadlines have been set for the...

Hello MAST Families, W/U #10 / 2023-1105 SWIM-A-THON - Huge thanks to everyone who participated in the Swim-A-Thon this past Saturday. Many of our swimmers accomplished things that they may not have been aware they could do. Many of our swimmers were glowing with pride when they reported the number of lengths of the pool they swum. Big challenges can bring out the best in people and that was certainly the case on Saturday. Maybe a bit of a stretch to compare the MAST swimmers efforts in the Swim-A-Thon to...

Hello MAST Families, W/U #9 / 2023-1029 Three major items for this update SWIM-A-THON – Saturday, November 4 is the day for the MAST Swim-A-Thon. The Swim-A-Thon is a major fundraising program used by USASwimming swim teams across the nation to supplement the programs that clubs offer. We are hoping for a very enthusiastic effort from all families and their swimmers this year. The challenge for the younger swimmers will be to see how far they can swim: There are rumors of some of our 10 & unders attempting to...

Hello MAST Families, As much as we would love to set a practice schedule at the beginning of the year and have it be something our member could depend on, we are not able to do that. Our practice schedule is subject to other scheduling that taks place in the pool and - sometimes outside the pool. Whenever there is an opportunity to move practices earlier in the evening, we will accept those changes. It is hoped that these changes will not cause too many logistical challenges for our valued...

Hello MAST Families, We just received the RAYS meet entry file from RAYS and is now available to make swimmer commitments. If you have any questions about events for your swimmers you can add a note to the entry commitment or contact your childs group coach. Monty

Hello MAST Families, W/U #7 / 2023-10015 MONDAY PRACTICE TIME CHANGE: Please be reminded of the change in practice times for Monday, October 16. It is a goal to have the most consistent practice times possible, but we also will take advantage to any high school practice schedules that arise if it means we can either get more pool time or we can start practices earlier in the evening. Tomorrow (Monday, October 16) is one of those opportunities due to a last-minute water polo practice cancellation. I apologize for any...
