There are two registration times for MAST. One in early September (for fall/winter season) and one in late March (for spring/summer season). These are held at the Milford High School Natatorium. If you are new to MAST, please be prepared to demonstrate your stroke proficiency. This is not necessarily a tryout, but is used for placement in the correct group. Necessary forms can be downloaded from our Registration page.

TEAM SUIT: (1 piece): The Milford Area Swim Team is going to a “NEW TEAM SUIT” starting this year Fall '08. Members who have already purchased the old suit can wear that suit until they need to replace that old suit and then will be asked to purchase the new suit. Our new “TEAM SUIT” will be our required team uniform at swimming meets. Swimmers may not wear a suit that is different than our team suit at swimming meets! Swimmers not wearing the correct gear will be ask to change or will not be eligible to swim. Practices -- Any suit may be worn. Do not wear the Team suit to practice as you will just wear it out faster.
Suits can be found locally at the following locations:
|
Kast-A-Way Swimwear:
I-275 North to Route 42 exit. Turn right (north) for 1-2 miles. Kast-A-Way
will be on your right. |
CAP: THE MAST “M” must be worn for all meets. This can be purchased at the pool from Mr. Leonard or Mr. Tameris for $3.00. Any cap is okay for practice. Girls should always wear a cap; many boys wear them too, especially at meets. We occasionally will order personalized swim caps at the beginning of the season if there is enough interest. These are the same MAST "M" cap, but with the swimmers last name under it. There is a minimum order for these of 40 total caps and 2 per name.
GOGGLES: Any style of goggles is fine (not face masks). They can be purchased at the same stores where swim suits are sold and also at Target and Meijer. Since goggles can sometimes be difficult to get used to, swimmers MUST wear them for all practices. This will insure that the goggles fit appropriately when the swimmer is ready for competition.
KICKBOARD, FLIPPERS, PULLBUOY: These items are supplied by MAST and/or Milford High School and can be found in the equipment room. Please do not mistreat these items.
SPIRIT WEAR: This is a collection of clothing, towels, hats, swim bags, and other items that feature the MAST name and logo. The Spiritwear committee provides a sample line and ordering information. Beth Jackson (Nick and Nate) is currently the Spiritwear coordinator.
We have a BASIC SCHEDULE that we follow weekly throughout the year. However, Milford High School and the pool are very busy and sometimes we are not able to hold practice on a specific day. CALENDARS, with specific practice dates, are posted on the website and at the pool. Weekly emails, which include the specific practice dates for the week, are sent out to all members.
We use several ways to put
information out to all our members on a timely basis:
1. Email - Emails are sent out weekly during the season and at various
times when additional info needs to be sent out immediately.
2. Website - Information about activities, meets, practices, etc., us
posted to www.MilfordSwimming.org
3. Folders - Each family has a folder in the box at the pool. Team
Information and other items which can not be emailed are put into the folders.
Swimmers should check their folders regularly.>
4. To get in touch with one of the coaches please use
email. For 12 and under swimmers please email Coach Leonard at
MASTCoachC@cinci.rr.com and for 13 and above swimmers please contact Gary
Tameris at mast@spsp.net.
For emergencies please call 513-576-2254.
