At Manassas Park from 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm we have 3 lanes, Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday, on Thursday we have 4 lanes. Yesterday's practice at MP was well attended and we loved having everyone there. We also offer morning practices at Manassas Park, Monday - Thursday for 12 and unders 6:00 am - 7:00 am and Cub Run, Monday - Thursday for 12 and unders 7:15 am - 8:15 am.

Jeff Hoyt – theinnerathlete.org, [email protected], 571-332-0218 Our 2nd meet of the season will be the October Open, October 11-13 at the Franconia Rec Center. Registration for this meet is due on Thursday October 3rd. This meet is for our 12 and overs. This meet is for our more experienced swimmers. Meet announcement attached. Our 3rd meet of the season will be The Monster Mash October 26-27 at South Run Rec Center. Open to all ages. Meet announcement is not yet available. Our first meet is this weekend at the Freedom Center in Manassas. The meet announcement is attached. At this point I do not know if we are the 1st or 2nd warm up. If your swimmer is scheduled to swim towards the end of their session, they are not required to attend warm up. But if you do choose to come after warm up please instruct your swimmer to alert the coaches once on deck so they can make sure they get warmed up. Also please ask your swimmer to see their coach after each race so we can provide feedback. We will have a designated team area on-deck, we will be in the same spot each day. If your swimmer needs to leave the team area to visit with a parent or use the restroom please make sure they tell a coach. Your swimmer may leave the meet after their final event but not before they 'Cool Down', coaches will provide a cool down, swimmers are expected to cool down after each event and prior to leaving the pool. Please have your swimmer wear their CSC t-shirt. If you do not have a CSC suit, a black suit will work. All swimmers should wear their CSC cap and bring water. All swimmers are expected to cheer for their teammates, show good sportsmanship and have fun.
