WEEKLY UPDATE - DECEMBER 18, 2022

Monty Hopkins
Hello MAST Families,                       
                                                                                      
Wishing everyone a Blessed and Merry Christmas.  Thanks to everyone for your generosity this Christmas season.  We are very fortunate to have so many wonderful families as MAST members.
 
We know that most of you will be very busy during the holidays, but we also hope that you will continue to make swim practice attendance a priority.
 
Undoubtedly there will be many other activities competing for your time, but the value of a full commitment to swim training cannot be overstated.  This is the time of the season when some of the greatest improvement results from the hard work swimmers do while not in school.
 
  1. USAS SWIM REGISTRATION:  This is an important reminder that your individual swim registration for the 2023 season must be completed by December 31.  Currently we have about 20 swimmers who still need to renew their USAS registration.  If you are not sure about your child’s status, please go to:  https://hub.usaswimming.org/landing to check.
  1. FRIDAY INTRA-SQUAD MEET:  The meet last Friday was a lot of fun with different races and mixed heats.  Thanks to everyone for attending.  Also, thanks to everyone who volunteered as timers and providers of snacks and drinks.
