MAC News:
FALL SCHEDULE:
The MAC Fall Season will begin on MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 20th.
As many of you know, the MHS pool has been closed all summer to replace the air handling systems. MHS is expected to open in the early Fall. Once they are finished at MHS, they will close LHS pool, and begin the same repairs. LHS is expected to be closed through December. This means ALL swim programs will have only the MHS pool in the district to hold their practices. MAC was able to reserve our usual AM pool time at MHS including adding a Sunday morning slot, but there are no MHS pool times available in the evenings. Having said that; we have secured PM and Saturday AM pool space (best times that were available) at Hartland’s Caroselli Aquatic Center (about 15 minutes west of Milford). The address is: 10635 Dunham Rd., Hartland, MI 48353. This option will allow us to continue our evening and weekend practices in a location with a nice pool and great freeway access.
BACK-TO-BASICS: We will KICK OFF the season with a Stroke Re-BUILD. Once a month, we will host a one day FREE clinic session, getting Back-to-Basics. Coaches will use drills and sets to work on the mechanics of the stroke during each clinic. The following weeks will incorporate more drills and sets for that stroke into parts of each workout. You will still get a great workout in while taking the time to focus on aspects of each stroke. Sept. 26th will be our first clinic for Freestyle – come join us at Sunday morning 8:30-10am.
NEW! SUNDAY MAC Practice: NEW this fall we will offer a Sunday morning practice at MHS from 8:30-10:00am. In addition to a great workout, this practice will also have a specific theme or focus. This focus will be a different swim meet subject each week. This will be a great opportunity to tweak your meet skills (starts, turns, etc).
Below is a tentative look at our NEW FALL Practice Schedule.
NOTE: We now will offer MAC Practice 7 Days A Week!
- Monday AM: MHS 9:15-10:45am

About Lindsey: I have been swimming all my life. We had a pool in the back yard as a kid and my mom put us on the local team so we could be safe in the water. I never stopped after that. I swam competitively with Spartans and Sports Club as a uss swimmer. Then continued to Novi High School and Northern Michigan University. While at Northern I earned a BS in Marketing. I was awarded the Bob Laughna Dedication Award in 2004 and 2005 and was team captain in 2005 and many top 10 times. After my time at NMU I began coaching at various teams while trying to start my career: Sports Club, Livonia Franklin High, Milford High, Huron Valley Penguins. I was hired by Kris Goodrich at Sports club during high school and after college we became good friends. She invited me to swim with her at a MAC practice. I was hesitant at first but finally gave in and checked it out. I was on the original State Team in 2007, there were three of us then. Then I moved to Dearborn and was unable to practice with the team but joined at state meet when I could. I have competed in many triathlons over the years in sprint, Olympic and half Ironman Distances. I also earned a place to compete in the USA Triathlon National Championships for Olympic Distance in 2012. Our family recently moved back to the area and Kris asked me to come back to the team again. So here I am.
MAC will be participating in the 2021 USMS Fall Fitness Challenge. Our first couple of weeks of practice we will build some endurance as we return to the pool. On Wednesday, 10/13 and Thursday 10/14 we will do our one mile swim as a team! Watch the weekly email for more details as we get closer.
