We have several forms of communication available to get timely and important information to you:

1. Website - Please check our website often, as we keep it up to date with the latest team information and updates.  We have a lot of educational information for you and your swimmer.

2. Email - We send Meet Entry information, practice changes, announcements, news, and more through our team e-mail system on a regular basis. Make sure you are subscribed and verify your email address with the website to get updates!

3. Newsletter - The MAC Newsletters are regularly sent out through email.

4. Social Media - Check us out on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter!

5. Text Alerts - (must be set up through your secure, logged-in website account at www.macmsla.org) Members who have "verified" their SMS cell phone numbers in their team account setup can receive text messages. Swimmers can also receive text alerts by group if they are set up under their member account.  All Senior swimmers should have their cell numbers entered and "verified."  Parents should enter their own text number under their swimmers' names for younger swimmers so information can be sent by roster groups.
