Masters Schedule Conflict

We would like to announce the following schedule which we hope will allow the current Masters to stay with their current schedule, move our coaching staff to a more sustainable schedule and also increase our offerings to attract a wider range of participants. This schedule also allows us to maintain a higher level of flexibility to accommodate those with changing scheduls and hope people will start attending more than just 3 practices per week, eventually leading towards a more competitive Masters team with higher participation at swim meets, triathlons and other race events.

Monday: 6:30-8am with Rachel, 9-10:30am with Theresa**
Tuesday: 12-1:30pm with Theresa
Wednesday: 6:30-8am with Rachel, 9-10:30am Unsupervised Written Workout*
Thursday: 12-1:30pm with Theresa
Friday: 9-10:30am with Rachel
 
*Wednesday 9-10:30am can remain a practice time for Masters swimmers to come and swim, however we will leave a workout from earlier that morning. I am usually at the pool during this time and can occasionally coach. Also, I know Rachel would enjoy swimming with the group from time-to-time but we have received negative feedback from individuals when she recently has.
 
**We have been training Theresa for several weeks now and Rachel still plans to be around to assist her through the transition to the new schedule. Rachel will make herself available for several weeks on Wednesdays to also ease the transition.

 

Help Out @ WEST vs. Pacific Dragons Dual Meet

We still need timers to help out with the dual meet this Saturday. Please sign up on the meet page if you can.

 

Senior Practice Saturday Morning Before the Meet

The Senior Group will practice 6-9am on Satuday, prior to the meet. This will allow them to get some lunch from 9-10 and come back for the start of the meet at 10am, also freeing up lanespace for younger swimmers during warmups.

 

happy swimming,
