MEET INFORMATION FOR SUNDAY, JUNE 26

Hi everybody,

There is a meet on Sunday, June 26, up at UMBC, hosted by RAC & ASC. There is a "not faster than" qualifying time standard, so not everybody will be able to swim (or at least not swim all of their events). The pertinent info is listed below; please email me no later than 10 a.m. on Tuesday, May 31 to let me know if you'd like your child entered in the meet.

NO AFTERNOON WORKOUT FOR PLATINUM OR GOLD ON SUNDAY, MAY 22, 2011.
We'll resume our regular workout schedule (scy) on Monday Morning, May 23, 2011.

Thanks to everybody from Wagner Aquatic Club who came down to train long course with us this weekend! We really enjoyed having you here and can't wait until we can do it again!

Attention swimmers & parents in the Platinum & Gold groups:

This coming weekend (May 21-22), we'll be hosting members of the Wagner Aquatic Club from Staten Island, NY here at the Hall Aquatic Center. They're coming to spend a couple of days training long course with us. The practice schedule for those two days is as follows:

Saturday, May 21: 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.;
Saturday, May 21: 6-8 p.m. (optional)
Sunday, May 22: 6-8 a.m.

This is a great opportunity to train with some fast, unfamiliar faces. Make sure you hydrate appropriately before each workout, and be ready to challenge yourself; remember, unless you step outside of your comfort zone, you'll never really know what you're capable of - and this is a great weekend to find out!

Looking forward to some great long course training, email me if you have any questions!

Hello SMAC swimmers & families,

Listed below are the meets I'd like to go to this summer. All meets will be conducted in long course meters ("LCM"); keep in mind, this schedule could change for anybody - or the entire team, depending on what meets somebody might qualify for. I have not yet heard back from a couple of Meet Directors; as I do (and we can plan with more certainty), I will let you know.

Email me if you have any questions. Thanks for being a part of SMAC, I'm looking forward to a great season!
