Arkansas swimmers

Greetings from the icy midwest!  I hope everyone is doing well.  Just wanted to say hello, and tell you I found a team.  We did the 1 hour postal swim last Saturday, and surprise, I took photos.  Click here to take a look.  The only problem with the team is they practice at 5:45 am! I miss you guys, and our evening practice time... come visit soon!

Diane and Greg's going away party

Brrr....  Hope everyone is keeping warm, and keeping swimming.

Here are some photos of MOO wishing Diane and Greg good luck in Arkansas.  It might actually be warmer today in NW Arkansas than in Orlando.

New Years Updates

Team,

As the new year begins, I wanted to share with you some information about upcoming meets, what's new with the team and finally, a little housekeeping.

In spite of the holidays, a large number of you were able to attend practice, and more importantly, our Holiday Party! But, now that we're into 2009, I wanted to share some information about a couple of meets you might want to attend.

MEETS AND MASTERS REGISTRATION:
February 14-15th, there's the SUN Masters Annual Valentine's Meet in Clearwater. You can find detailed meet information at: http://www.dixiezone.org/Meets/0902clearwater.pdf
Entries must be received by Feb. 6th.
You can swim one day or both days. Do whatever works into your schedule.

March 27-29th is the St. Pete Masters 39th Annual Short Course Championships held at the North Shore Pool in St. Pete. More detailed information can be found at:
http://www.dixiezone.org/Meets/0903spm_info.pdf
Entries must be postmarked by Mar. 17th.

April 16-19th are the YMCA Short Course Nationals. This year they are again being held in Ft. Lauderdale. Detailed meet information is not yet available, so just save the date. For this particular meet, you only have to be a current Y member to participate.

To swim in meets with MOO, you need to be registered as a Masters swimmer. MOO has online registration via the Florida Masters web site. Save some time and register online at: https://www.clubassistant.com/club/USMS.cfm?l=14
If you have any questions during this registration process, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Looking forward to 2010...

USMS Short Course Nationals will be in Atlanta (May 20-23) and Long Course Nationals will be in San Juan (Aug. 9-12).

Practice during the winter is outdoors in the heated pool on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday night from 7:00pm until 8:15pm. Everyone has a busy schedule and it's understandable when you're not able to practice for weeks on end, so come out and swim when you can.

If you'd like to purchase team suits or caps, please see Sean McCormack.
