From Coach
Hopefully, everyone’s homes were safe from last weekend’s flooding. Such weird weather lately…a week of 70s and sunny, then the next one with massive rains, hail, and flooding, then 60-degree day temps with 30-degree evening temps. Trying to be optimistic that April will bring gentle rains for our lawns and plants, but no more damaging storms!
Happy Easter, and happy last few days of Passover, to those celebrating.
Coach Chris
USMS Short Course Nationals
USMS Nationals will be in Greensboro, NC on July 21 - 25, 2021. I have reserved some hotel rooms at one of the meet hotels since many of our master's swimmers have indicated they plan to attend Nationals. This meet has been delayed 3-months due to COVID, and the meet host is slow to push out details. However, if you are interested in going to the meet, please let me know so that I can reserve enough rooms (as they tend to sell out closer to the event). Even if you do not qualify, you can still attend and swim 3 individual events, plus take part in our team relays, so do not think you need to be top in the country to join in on the fun! Please consider participating
Practice Updates
The pool will be set up as 50-meters tomorrow morning, Saturday, April 3, so be prepared to share lanes.
The pool will probably be back to 25-yards for Monday’s practices.
Our normal practice schedule continues next week, visit Practices to review times.
Use the button on the right to sign up for workouts offered from April 5 - 10, 2021.
Notice of Dues Increase
Ensworth Aquatics Masters monthly dues will increase to $75 a month beginning May 1. This is the first monthly dues increase in the program's 6-year history. We are proud to have a program that offers 9 different practice options a week in the best aquatics facility in all of middle Tennessee. This dues increase will go far towards being able to continue offering a great program in a beautiful Natatorium.
Please contact Coach Chris if this adjustment impedes your ability to be a part of our program.
Benefits of Training I.M.
Check out this great article on the USMS website by my friend Scott Bay on why it is so helpful to swim all four strokes in practice no matter your swimming goals.
