MCY Christmas/New Year's Break Information
Hello MCY Swim Families, 12/18/24
Hello MCY Swim Families, 12/18/24
This week we will have all regularly scheduled practices...DryLand, In the water etc. Starting next Tuesday things are a bit hit or miss for many. Check out the extra practices listed on our SportsEngine website/OnDeck app.
- I again wanted to let everyone know the plan for the upcoming holiday season, when we have practices, when we don't have practices, etc. Where do you find this information when you delete or cannot find the right email? On our SportsEngine website/OnDeck app under "MCY Christmas/New Year's Practice Schedule" under the Events Home tab.
- **Also FYI - when an "Event" email is sent out all you have to do is click on the tab that says "For more information on this event click here".
- There are several practices on our SportsEngine website/OnDeck app that you can use at times during the holiday season to keep in the water.
- The month of December comes with some great opportunities to get extra time in the water so be at all practices that you are able...a month away from the pool is too much. If you take it all off it will be like starting over again at the beginning of the season.
- Come when you can and are able, do activities with school, family and friends when you need to and we will see you as often as you can!
MeRry, MerRy CHriStmAs and a HaPpy, HapPy NeW YeAr to each and every one of our High School families!!
- Please consider attending at least one day a week of practice during the Christmas/New Year's break to make sure to stay current - missing a huge chunk of time all at once may cause them to revert back to before the season began.
