Up coming meets

SEPTEMBER

On Saturday, September 26th, there's a one-day short course yards (SCY) meet in Ocala. Information regarding this meet can be found at: http://www.dixiezone.org/Meets/0909ocala.pdf In order to participate in this meet, you will need to be a registered Masters swimmer with MOO

OCTOBER

October 17-18 at the Aquatic Center on I-Drive is a short course meters meet. Short course meters pools are a little bit longer than the pools at the Downtown Y. I'm not a big fan of this type of pool - maybe because I coach a team for 10 years that had one! But, these SCM meets are popular in Florida. For many of you I'd like to focus on swimming relays for the sole purpose of breaking some records. Since these meets are not that popular in the rest of the country, records are fairly easy to break. There's just not a lot of people trying! Relays for SCM and LCM (Long Course Meters) meets are made up differently. They are not based on age groups like men or women ages 25-29, but on a cumulative approach like the age group 120-159, which is the total age of all four swimmers. Here are the age groups:
72-99 / 100-119 / 120-159 / 160-199 / 200-239 / 240-279 / 280-319 / 320-359 /360-399

Information on the Aquatic Center meet is found at the following link: http://www.dixiezone.org/Meets/0910orlando.pdf

To swim in this meet, you will need to be registered with MOO through the Florida LMSC. An online registration can be found at: http://www.floridalmsc.org/Registration/MOO.htm If you register online, please remember to pay the MOO registration fee of $7.

Another October meet takes place the following Saturday, October 24th at 1:00pm in the afternoon. This is a dual meet against the Rollins College men's and women's swim teams. Swimmers from other Masters teams, like Team Orlando and Orlando Masters, will also be competing against the Rollins team. You don't have to be a registered Masters swimmer with MOO to participate in this meet. If you are interested in swimming, or have any questions, please contact Sean McCormack. To help Sean organize this entry, please let him know of your intent to swim, and provide him with the strokes, times and distances (50's and 100's) by September 30th. If you don't want to swim, please come and cheer on your teammates! More information regarding this meet will be coming.

Again, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
