This is the MAC News for Tuesday, October 7th. 

TOMORROW is the deadline for entries for the two meets that are currently posted.  The CBAC Fall Warm-Up Meet ( www.mdswim.org/Top_Nav/Meets/2008-2009_Schedule_Results/Chesapeake_Bay_Aquatic_Club_Fall_Warm-Up_Meet.htm is open to our swimmers who are 9 years old or older with entry times slower than "AA" time standards.  It is intended to be a meet for our AGE GROUP swimmers (NOT OUR SENIORS), especially those Novice swimmers who are not eligible for the CAA meet in October.  Fees are $23 for one day or $43 for both.  The HARY Hurricane Harvest Festival Swim Meet ( www.mdswim.org/Top_Nav/Meets/2008-2009_Schedule_Results/HARY_Hurricane_Harvest_Festival_Swim_Meet.htm) is open to our 10 & under swimmers.  Fees are $18 for one day or $33 for two.  If you have questions as to whether your child should attend either of these meets, please ask your child's coach. 

Here is some information regarding the RAC meet this weekend that we have been asked to pass along one more time.  

·          The meet will be doing dive overs.  Please have your swimmer talk to his or her coach if they are unsure what this means.

·          No parents will be allowed on deck at any time.

·          There is no ball throwing anywhere inside the facility.

·          We ask those sitting out by the indoor track to have their kids play quite games – or watch videos.  We will not be able to allow ball throwing , running games or skate shoes at anytime.  
 

Meet notices for the two NBAC meets MAC will compete in during the month of November have yet to be posted by the meet director.  So, the information we have concerning these two meets is very limited.  Our coaching staff is concerned that if we don’t start collecting meet entries now, we will not have enough time to get our entries in before the meet shuts out.
 
As of today – this is what we know about the two meets:
