Masters Update- SUMMER!!!

Dave Cameron

Masters,

I've just come off deck from my last practice coaching inside at Uptown for a few months. Finally- summer practices are arriving!

Monday, June 6, marks the beginning of mornings at St Louis Park, and a new Uptown morning schedule.
Saturday, June 11, marks the beginning of Richfield practices on Saturday mornings and Monday and thursday evenings.

Following this message, you'll be getting a confirmation of the group you're enrolled in for the summer. I'm including the full schedule in this message. Your practice list includes all of the practices in your enrolled category

On-site enrollment- all on-site practices, plus Friday mornings at St Louis Park and Saturdays at Richfield.

Off-site enrollment- all on- and off-site practices.

  • Whether on- or off-site, all practices REQUIRE USMS registration. Coaches will stop swimmers from joining practices if not enrolled.
  • Beyond this month, if you have not received an exemption for workout group, you must be enrolled in the Minneapolis YWCA Masters workout group. If you are enrolled as unattached, or with Minnesota Masters but no workout group, June is the grace period for contacting the Minnesota Masters registrar [email protected]
  • We have added a midmorning Uptown option to the summer schedule for Tuesdays and Thursdays. If we're able to staff an Uptown Friday 6am, we will return that practice to the schedule.

If you did not answer the survey, you remain in your same practice group. If that group is ending or being adjusted, we have adjusted Uptown Tuesday/Thursday early morning swimmers to the Monday/Wednesday groups, and the Tuesday/Thursday midmorning to the new practice that is 30 minutes earlier.

Enrollment grants access to a wide range of practices. Our Fall-winter-spring schedule has some practices relocated to other sites, and most off-site practices require enrollment in groups that have a surcharge to offset the extra rental costs for those practices.

Lastly, this weekend would be a good one to wander over to Elsmore Swim Shop to get gear for outdoor practices. There are some kickboards at Richfield, but there is no equipment available at St Louis Park
