ASC This Week - May 9-15
May 9, 2021
ASC Families,
We are continuing Bronze, Gold, and Senior groups. Please see the grid below.
Should you be leaving for the summer and want your position held, or if your swimmer will not continue any longer, please email [email protected] with details. To hold positions until August, we will need to charge a nominal fee of $25.00 per swimmer/month. We anticipate a strong demand for positions on the team, and we will be holding enrolment to manageable numbers, swimmer to coach ratio.

Note: 12/under swimmers are not permitted to wear technical suits (taped seems) I do not want 13 and over swimmers racing in them (tech suits) until there are championship or off-island meets available. These suits will be great for team pride and performance in practice and non-championship meets. We are going with the Navy/White colors for our suits and we will be offering a group order at the beginning of each month. If your swimmer is not in need of one now, we ask that when they do need one, you buy our team suit on the TYR site, if possible.
All for now,
Stay safe!
Coach Mark
