July 2nd-8th, 2017

Weekly Schedule:

Monday, MHS No Practice
Tuesday, LHS No Practice
Spring Mill 8:30am
Wednesday, MHS No Practice
Thursday, LHS No Practice
Saturday, Trout Lake 8:00am
Sunday, Walnut Creek CC 8:30-10:00am

Noteworthy: The pools (Milford and Lakeland) are closed this week for the annual shutdown. As you can see with the schedule there will be no pool practices this week until the Walnut Creek Country Club swim on Sunday July 9.

Due to the Independence Day, the Tuesday Spring Mill swim at Island Lake will be moved to 8:30am in order to allow everyone to get in a swim and still enjoy all the holiday festivities. Happy 4th of July!

The deadline for the Summer Nationals in Minnesota is on Wednesday July 5th! Take a look at your calendars and consider this meet. It would be a fantastic experience and not very far to travel. If you haven’t met the time standards, don’t fret, you can still swim 3 events without qualifying. Call your friends, make it a road trip, and let’s get the MAC presence for Michigan Masters!
