Updates 12/8
Good morning,
Please see this week's updates below.
Regular Practices This Week/Exterior Doors Locked
We will have another normal practice week as we continue our winter season. Please be sure to get to practice on time. MNHS school policy is to have the exterior entrance to the building locked at all times. We will have a coach at the door up until the start of practice time each day. If a parent would like to assist us with attending the door that would be much appreciated by our coaches and families!
Swim Meets
Swim meets have been posted on our website! If you are new to the team, we will be attending 1-2 meets a month for each age group. Registration for the 1/17-1/18 meet has been sent in so be sure to sign up for the next meet if you are interested!
To sign up, log in to our team unify website, go to events, and click "attend/decline" next to the meet you would like to attend. The system will auto populate with which sessions/events your swimmer is permitted to do based on their age group. Once you sign up, I will approve all events prior to sending them to the host team. If you are unsure what your swimmer(s) should do. you can click "attend" and save changes without picking events. Then I will be able to go in and choose on my end.
Triton Time Trials - 12/20 (9am-12pm)
We will be using our last Saturday before the holidays as a time trial morning for all age groups! I will be posting a sign up on our events page tonight for you to sign up your swimmers. Please choose a minimum of 3 events for your child so we can get some times but they are welcome to swim as many events as they'd like. If your child is unsure about USA meets, this will be a great oppurtunity to try racing in a more comforatble environment with just our team.
Our Saturday Developmental Clinic will still be from 9:30-10 and if you would like your child to particpate in the time trials, we can also add them to 25 free and 25 back.
Equipment for Practices
All swimmers must bring fins to practice every day. Please do not rely on the bin of old fins at the pool for your swimmer.
You may purchase any brand of training fins but here are some good options if you are unsure what to get.
Platinum, Royal, and High School swimmers are required to bring a snorkel to each practice by December 1st.
Snorkels should be training snorkels similar to the link below
We highly recommend writing your swimmer's name on their equipment in the case it gets mixed up or misplaced at practice.
USA Registration Renewal
If your swimmer(s) were registered for the 24-25 year, please be sure to renew your memberships prior to the new year! I will be sending out links to families whose swimmers registrations are set to expire at the end of 2025.
Flex Athlete - 12 and under Flex Athletes can participate in two regular season meets (No Championship meets)
Premium Athlete - Premium Athletes may participate in unlimited meets including championships if they have qualified.
Please reach out to me if you did not recieve the link.
