MAC Lite will continue to be added to our current schedule on Monday nights from 7-7:45pm and on Friday mornings from 8:45-9:30am. MAC Lite will work on the stroke mechanics of all four competitive strokes and aim to slowly integrate swimmers into the 1-1/2 hour MAC practices.
We haven’t gained very much mileage this week on the MAC to Mesa but hopefully the snow days are behind us and we can make up some ground this week. Please continue to record your mileage for each practice with the coach on deck. Coaches will total each person’s mileage for the week and log the results on our banner.
Good news for Remind and Verizon users, Verizon has decided not to charge fees to Verizon users for Remind texts.

MAC to Mesa: Our goal will be to swim approximately 1,985 miles, together, as a team. Each week, after practice, swimmers will record your total distance for the workout rounded to the nearest ¼ mile. We will have 16 weeks to swim that distance, from the week of January 7th-April 25th!
State Meet: State Meet registration is officially OPEN! Registration will remain open until April 9th. MAC is hosting State Meet 2019 on April 12-14 at Waterford Mott High School.
From the Coaches:
Dianne: After so many cancelled practices over the last week, this week’s Monday and Wednesday workouts will be focused on a combination of the 100 fly and the 100 FR. I hope to see you back at the pool!
