DISTANCE MEET INFORMATION FOR THIS WEEKEND This weekend we have a group of Senior Prep and Junior Gold swimmers participating in the distance meet at Lee District Pool.  General warm up starts at 7AM, and the meet starts at 8AM.  The heats will be swum fastest to slowest seed times.  They will alternate heats starting with the girls.  There will be lanes to warm up at the pool during the day.  I will have a laminated  card with warm ups on it, so that when you arrive you can get right to it. I have gone thru our entry lists and tried to figure out about what time you will be swimming.  You should plan on arriving about 1 hour prior to your start time, i will positive check you in around that time.

HOLIDAY WISHES AND A HOLIDAY POEM

HOLIDAY WISHES Senior Prep, Junior Gold and Junior Blue swimmers and parents I would like to take a moment and wish all of you a joyous holiday season, and a very Happy 2014.   Thank you for all the thoughtful cards and gifts that you brought in over the past few days.   I am truly blessed to be able to work with such a wonderful group of children and parents.   Thank you for all the support that you have given to Mason Makos and me all through the year.    Mike                                                               “ Twas the night before Swimming” When all through the building not a swimmer was stirring, not even a guard, the scoreboard was hung by the pool with care, in hopes that the Mako swimmers would soon be there.   The swimmers were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of medals danced in their heads; and mamma in her kerchief, and dad in his cap, had just settled in for a long winter nap; when out on the deck there arose such a cl

SEASON MID POINT and HOLIDAY SCHEDULE

NEW RECORD:  As was pointed out to me by a concerned 3rd party who shall remain nameless (we all know who it was), Alexa Cuomo also set a new team record in the 50 fly with a 26.32.in Lancaster.   How did I miss that one, I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that I hear that voice all the time, when I'm sleeping, even on the radio. During the holidays we need to keep up with our practice schedule the best we can so here it is.  This may change a little after the 1st, and I will try to keep it updated. Monday 23-  8:30-10:00 Senior Prep/ 10:00-11:00 Junior Gold / 11:00-12:00 Junior Blue Tuesday 24-  8:00-9:30 Senior Prep and Junior Gold Wednesday 25- what do you know OFF. HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY Thursday  26-  8:00-9:30 Senior Prep and Junior Gold Friday 27-  8:00-9:30 Senior Prep and Junior Gold Saturday 28-  8:0-9:30 Senior Prep and Junior Gold Monday 30- 8:00-9:30 Senior Prep and Junior Gold Tuesday 31- 8:00-9:30 Senior Prep and Junior Gold Wednesday January

TYR DIPLOMAT MEET WRAP UP

TYR DIPLOMAT MEET WRAP UP A long but successful weekend of racing for our groups this past weekend at Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster Pa.  We started off with our annual bus ride arriving at the hotel around 7:30 and heading straight to the rooms and than a team dinner.  After checking on the kids in the rooms we finally got the lights out with thoughts of racing in our heads. The meet started out slow for us in the first session as it looked like we had not gotten our legs back under us for the most part.  Peter and I talked about this and we agreed that we do not like having a late warm up as we feel the swimmers are rushed and not relax going into their events.   We decided that even though we had the second warm up on Sunday we would arrive early giving the kids time to settle in.  The Saturday and Sunday 13 and over sessions would go much better with our swimmers performing much better in their races.  As for our group Jet, Gabby, Audrey, Gillian and Katie, would al
CHAMPIONSHIP WEEK WEEK AHEAD:    I Know that all of you are glad to see the snow and maybe even get these two days off from school, but be careful about what you wish for.   Nothing is free and winter does not even start for another week or so, which means too many days like this and you will be in school longer in June when the weather is nice and the days are long.  As a coach I dislike the inconvenience of upsetting an athletes schedule, but also like I tell you all we have to adjust and move on. Tuesday- George Mason has closed so there is no practice Wednesday-   normal practice ( Any senior Prep going to Pa. this weekend PLEASE try and come in with the JUNIOR GOLD group 5:30-6:4 Thursday thru Saturday there will be no practice due to the Championship Meet being held at George Mason. WEEKEND  AHEAD:   A group of about 60 Mako swimmers will board a bus early Thursday afternoon and head north to Lancaster Pa. for a championship meet.  While we want you to have a good time
