Welcome back to the pool deck parents!

Hello MCDA Swim Team Parents,

Whether you observe Easter, Passover or Ramadan, we hope you had a great holiday with friends and family. 

As you may or may not know we have already started our Spring and Summer season.  USA Swimming has two main seasons of competition, the Fall and Winter Short Course Yards (SCY) season and the Spring and Summer Long Course Meters (LCM) season. A Long course or Olympic size pool is 50 meters and our home pool here at Country Day is 25 yards. For more info on the difference between SCY and LCM check out our website.  SCY vs LCM

Our season change isn’t the only thing that is different…with the COVID restriction loosening, we are inviting parents to come back to the pool!  If you would like to come and observe a practice, you are more than welcome to come and sit in the balcony and watch.  If you want to come on deck to pick up your swimmer after practice you can do that to.  We just ask that parents do not remain on deck and interact with the swimmers or the coaching staff during practice time.

Finally, we are aware that summer time is around the corner.  That means family time, family vacations, day camp or sleep away camp and many more activities.  Please know that our club swim team continues to train and compete throughout the summer.  We encourage our swimmers to be present and continue to practice and participate in swim meets and championships.  It is as important for our development level athletes to continue to train through the summer as it is for our Sr. Group.  During the LCM season there are going to be BC Championships, BB Championships, Junior Olympics, Sr. Champs, much like the end of the SCY season.  If you know what your summer schedule is going to be please let us know so we can begin to plan accordingly.  Also, many of the meets we are planning to attend are already posted on our website: Swim Meets.  Please declare your intentions to participate in the events listed.

Hope to see you poolside!

Best,

Coach Eric
