Hello CMA Swimmer Families –
It is hard to believe we are already moving into the fall season! Registration for our Fall 2026 Session goes live tomorrow, Tuesday, August 18, 2026. Please know there is no rush right at opening, as we will have enough room for all swimmers who want to swim with us this fall. After seeing how much hard work and progress everyone put in during the summer months, we are ready to keep that momentum going!
Below is the key information you need to complete your registration for the upcoming Fall 2026 Session.
🌟 Exciting News: New "Lil' Chompers" Group & Fall Assessments!
We are excited to announce our brand new group, Lil' Chompers, starting this fall! Designed as a bridge between traditional swim lessons and our Pond Pups group, Lil' Chompers offers young swimmers low-ratio, focused instruction to build technique and confidence before jumping into competitive group swimming.
If you know of a prospective swimmer or family who might be interested in joining CMA or our new Lil' Chompers group, please let them know about our upcoming Fall Assessment Nights:
- Dates: Tuesday, August 25 & Tuesday, September 1, 2026
- Time: 6:00 PM – 7:15 PM
- Location: Sartell Middle School Pool
📍 Practice Locations & Special Event Updates
- Senior Groups & Apex Predators: Practices for our Senior groups and Apex Predators will primarily be hosted at Sartell High School. On nights when the Sartell Girls High School Swim Team has a home swim meet, practice will be held in an alternate location and communicated in advance.
- Team Building Night (Tuesday, October 13, 2026): On 10/13/26, all local high school pools have home swim meets scheduled. Instead of regular practice, we are exploring a team-building night at Great River Bowl & Partners Pub, featuring bowling and pizza for the swimmers!
