MMST: First Practice info (May 23)
We are excited to see your swimmers next week. Our first practice (6-7:45PM) will be on Monday, May 23 at the Chatham County Aquatic Center. We will check in swimmers (outside at a table) at 6PM. Check-in will include a photo of each swimmer to help coaches/volunteers master names/faces.
Once checked-in, swimmers will go to coaches for direction. Coaches will be wearing royal blue MMST COACH shirts. We have lanes reserved 6:30-7:45PM Monday-Thursday next week at the aquatic center. Swimmers should be dressed to get in the water with a towel and goggles. Caps are optional for practice.
There will be a parent meeting at 6:30PM (once swimmers are in the water) in the stands inside. This will include information about this season and how you can help volunteer. We will also have time for questions - as Iwill be there throughout the practice.
Our first meet (Tuesday, May 31) is a HOME meet and our first since 2019 - so we will need parents help. More info will be shared at the parent meeting. If your swimmer(s) will miss the first meet - please let us know at check-in.
Practices will move to the Mayfair pool after on May 31.
Watch for a weekly overview email by Sundays (late afternoon/evening) with information for the upcoming week...
If you haven't already - please download "SwimTopia." This is the app we will use for meets. More on this at the parent meeting - esp. if you download it prior the meeting. There is a free version and a paid version. Free has a lot of functionality. I'll go over paid benefits at the meeting. (pretty sure login for app is the same as login for website).
If you are a parent of a Pre-Team/Guppie swimmer as well, watch for a separate email with details about our first session on Saturday, June 4.
FYI - Email messages are also published as "news posts" on our website. Go to "About" > "News" to have easy access to this info.
