Dear MAC Families,
This is Coach Moon with an update on our Mini-Prep and Mini Team swimmers. As we dive into the new season, we’ve been focusing on freestyle and backstroke to build a solid foundation of endurance. Last week, we introduced breaststroke. While some swimmers pick up the breaststroke kick easily, many find it challenging. Please ensure your child attends every session so they can continue improving.
We also have exciting swim meet opportunities for the Mini Team this season! Even if your swimmer is new and hasn’t mastered turns or diving just yet, they are still welcome to participate. For first-year Mini Team members, swim meets are a great learning experience and a chance to build confidence.
Our next swim meet will be on December 21st for 10 & Under swimmers. Please sign up for this event and feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.
Additionally, even our youngest swimmers (8 & Under) participating in LTS classes are welcome to join the meet! Please consult with your child’s coach if interested.
Here are the upcoming meet details:
1. Splash & Dash Mini Team Meet (Dec 21)
- 10 & Under swimmers can participate
2. Mako Polar Plunge Meet (Jan 11-12)
3. Fox Forty Niner Meet (Feb 22-23)
Pre-Meet Preparation:
All swimmers must be registered for either a Flex or Premium USA Swimming membership before participating in meets.
- Flex Membership: Allows for 2 meet participations ($30)
- Premium Membership: Unlimited meet participation ($100)
Mini-Prep and Mini Team swimmers already have their USA Swimming membership fee covered in the club membership. However, LTS swimmers will need to pay the membership fee.

Let’s work hard in preparation, and I look forward to seeing our swimmers at the meets!
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to me.
Best regards,
HEAD COACH Moon
