“
What counts in sports is not the victory, but the magnificence of
the struggle.”
- Joe Paterno
Swim
Meets, Practices, and More
- No practice this Friday 6/27, as
warm-up for the Beverly Meet is at 4 pm and much of our team is swimming
there.
- MTSC Meet at Springfield College
is next weekend 7/5 & 6 with 1:30 pm warm-up, 2:00 pm meet start and
should be over around 4 pm or so.
- There will be no Friday practices
for the month of July with the 4th being a Friday holiday and
meets scheduled every Friday in July, so Novice and Novice Plus swimmers
may practice on Tuesdays (6:50 pm) for the month of July (Donna will be
coming in to coach, too).
- Beginning
next week, stretching at announcements will begin 10 minutes earlier
each night (6:20 on M/W and 6:50 pm on T/Th), so
we can plan to enter the water for the start of our practice time – PLEASE
arrive on time for stretching and ready to swim).
- Sign-up for the Relay Mixer at
the Westfield Y by next Wed. 7/2 on the pool bulletin board or by
email. Warm-up is 5 pm in Westfield
with a family potluck after the meet.
All NAS swimmers should try to make it. Details regarding the Potluck will be
given after sign-ups.
- Swimmers who qualified for Bay
State Games Finals at Harvard in July should send in paperwork and $20 fee
to Bay State Games (checks payable to MASF); if swimmers are scratching
from events, please email me or Megan at the Bay State Games office: Megan@baystategames.org
- I had given out Ed’s cell #
instead of mine – please call me with scratches, if you are running late
for a meet, or have other conflicts:
575-8559. Thanks.
- If you will be away on vacation
or missing several practices for any reason, please let me know.
