ASC This Week - May 16-22, 2021
May 16, 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 strong demand for positions on the team, and we will be holding enrolment to manageable numbers, swimmer to coach ratio.
Hawaiian Swimming Board Meeting - Today, via Zoom
-
I attend as the Big Island At-Large member. Determined were the following.
-
There will not be an age group or senior championship this summer for Hawaii unless things dramatically change. The cost of hotels, auto, county of Honolulu restrictions, and the Covid situation all contributed to the decision.
-
ZONE CHAMPIONSHIPS - Lewisville, Texas. Swimmers who elect to go will travel as individuals. Not all Zones will send teams to the event. Hawaii will send a coaching rep to the meet if athletes from Hawaii decide to fly there on their own.

USA SWIMMING WESTERN ZONES/ AND SR. SECTIONAL UPDATES
SAFE SPORT
Our website that hostst information for parents and swimmers regarding SAFE SPORT can be found HERE. There are new drop-down options for you to view on how we address and resolve issue surrounding swimmer safety. Please look at the site and let me know if you have any questions. Also added to the site is a Coaches Code of Conduct.
We will be offering parent and athlete training sessions (separate) on the topic of Safe Sport. The slated date is Saturday, June 12. 2021.

SWIMMING GEAR WITH TYR - USE OUR DISCOUNT CODE: “Academy25” The more this code is used, the more free gear ASC will earn in return.
-
ASC has entered an agreement with TYR whereas all new purchases of suits and equipment are through TYR. In exchange, ASC has this 25% discount code "Academy25" to be used on TYR.com. TYR will be able to track ASC purchases and when we hit benchmarks in sales, will result in additional bonuses for the team. Independent of purchases, ASC will receive some coaching attire, new banners and for those swimmers who make Senior Sectionals, Futures, Jr' Nationals, or USA Senior Nationals, they will be outfitted by TYR.
-
Girl's Suit: Please purchase the PHOENIX WOMEN'S SPLICE DIAMOND FIT in navy/white or GIRLS smaller sizes in navy/white.
-
Boy's Suit: Please purchase the MEN'S PHOENIX JAMMER TYR BOYS PHOENIX JAMMER or the TYR BOYS PHOENIX RACER in navy/white.
-
Goggles - Your choices but recommended are three different styles for beginning, intermediate and advanced levels of competition and training. CLICK HERE FOR THE RECOMMENDATIONS. All TYR Goggles are available to view here.
-
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
