Spring Swim

Conditioning

2018

MCST coaches would like to invite swimmers to participate in Spring Conditioning at Alhambra High School.

Spring Conditioning will be on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from March 13 until April 26. Practice 1 (9 & younger) will swim 5:30-6:10 PM and Practice 2 (10 & older) from 6:20-7:05 PM.  Swimmers can participate 1, 2, or 3 days each week.  There will be no practice April 3rd-5th during the week of MUSD Spring Break.

8 & Unders will focus on breathing, streamlines, kicking, and some stroke technique.  Swimmers 9 & older will focus on getting in shape for the swim season doing lots of kicking, swimming, breath control, and turns.

Only swimmers who have swam competitively before and are swimming with MCST in 2018 are eligible to sign up for spring conditioning.  These practice sessions are not suited for swimmers who were only in the Little Otter program in 2017.  

To sign up for spring conditioning let me know who will be swimming and whether they will be there one, two, or three days a week (specify the days of the week so we have enough coaches each night).  There is no online registration form for spring swimming; just let me know by email. keelankirshen@gmail.com

If you sign up on or before February 28th the fees for three days a week will be $150, two days a week $125, and if your swimmer can only attend one day each week due to other commitments it will be $75. If you sign up after February 28th the fees will increase $15.  Pay at the pool on your first day. Checks made out to Keelan Kirshen.

I need an accurate count of participants to make sure enough coaches are available each evening.

We are really excited to be getting back in the water.  Let me know if you have any questions. I will send out more info to those who sign up via e-mail.
