Paseo Aquatics - News & Notes - Week of March 11, 2013

BUENA LONG COURSE OPENER: The Buena Long Course Opener will be held this Saturday and Sunday, March 16 and 17, at the Buena Ventura Swim Complex in Ventura. Novice swimmers will be competing in the morning session, Blue and JO swimmers in the afternoon. The afternoon session will begin no earlier than 12 Noon with warm up to start 45 minutes prior to the first race. Afternoon swimmers should arrive early enough to stretch, warm up and cheer on their morning session swimmers. (Morning swimmers-- feel free to stick around for a few of your afternoon teammates' races).

TEAM MEETING: There will be a team meeting this Wednesday, March 13, at 4:45PM poolside (weather is supposed to be sunny and warm-- and we have Daylights Savings on our side now). We will be discussing the upcoming Meet Schedule (April is going to be a busy month), as well as the Long Course practice schedule.

LONG COURSE PRACTICE: Paseo Aquatics' first swim practice at the El Cariso Long Course pool was a successful one, with the interest indicating this will be a facility we will continue to partner with moving forward. Though the initial turnout was smaller than hoped (we had several swimmers competing at high school meets or out of town this weekend), the pool was everything we anticipated-- and entirely dedicated to Paseo Aquatics. We have already secured the facility for Saturday, March 23 and Saturday, March 30.

MASTERS MIXER: We are circling Saturday, May 11th, as the day for our Masters Mixer-- a training session followed by a breakfast spread. A Flyer and sign-up sheet will be forthcoming. This event will be open to all Masters swimmers, and will include drills, training sets, capped off by individual and relay races.
