Hello CMA Families -
This is Spring Season week 2 of 8
Attached to this email is:
An 'at a glance' weekly update for this week
Quick notes:
- TEAM STORE is now OPEN! Link Here! The store closes Sunday, April 19th. This is our first team order with the goal in mind of creating a unified look across ALL members of our team (parents, athletes, coaches), thus the initial limited selection. Later we plan to have a larger store with more options, but initially we want unity in our new team brand.
- Team Caps are being distributed to all current Spring Athletes. If your athlete has not yet received a new team cap please have them check in with their coach this week.
- Quarry Sharks and Apex Predators - Will have dryland training before swim practice on Tuesdays/Thursdays. Dryland requires tennis shoes, shorts, and water bottles. Most athletes prefer to wear their suits under gym gear to make changing post dryland for pool practice quick.
- Please make sure you update (or Register if you have not done so) your athlete’s USA Team Registration. Our Team Link can be found here: https://omr.usaswimming.org/omr/welcome/C5FDCDF50CA449
What athletes need for practice every night:
- Swim Suit (one-piece for girls, jammers or speedo preferred for boys)
- Swim Cap
- Goggles (and a back up pair in case the first pair breaks)
- Water bottle - NO GLASS
- Tuesday/Thursday - Dryland Clothes: Shorts, Shirt, Tennis Shoes [Quarry Sharks & Apex Predators]
- CMA Coaches are working on an equipment list for senior level athletes, Apex Predators, and Quarry Sharks.
Meet Updates:
- TUNA Meet Registration is now closed.
- We have opened registration for both DRGN and HURR Meets - PLEASE NOTE these meets are Long Course Meter pools (Olympic sized, 50 meter pools), and might not be a good option for new-to-meets swimmers.
- We are working out our May Block party meet details and plan to have information out soon - This will be a CMA hosted meet, thus requiring CMA parent/family volunteers
A look ahead:
- April 24th the SMS practice groups will be at Sartell High School (indicated on calendar)
- May 11-22nd there will be a switch up in practice locations - this will be communicated as we get closer to that week
Please reach out with any questions throughout the season - Email is the easiest way to reach out.
Reminder if it is a ‘Dry-side’ Administrative question please reach out to Denise at Denise.lenarz@swimcma.com
All ‘Wet-side’ Coaching/Practice/Meet participation questions should be sent to either Coach Annika at Annika.Bordak@swimcma.com or Coach Mack at Mack.Sathre@swimcma.com
We are looking forward to a great Spring season!
