Lyons Masters Blizzard Mock Meet---Saturday 2/7

Attention Lyons Masters! I have an exciting announcement! We will running a mock meet this Saturday during practice! The Blizzard of 2015 took away our Super Bowl Sunday, but we will have a meet!  This is a fun opportunity to experience the meet atmosphere without all the pressure--maybe it will even convince you to try one in the future.

The meet/practice will be held from 6-8 AM, this Saturday, February 7th. We will have a team warm-up, followed by 7 events...and some 4 x 25 relays to finish the "meet"! Practice will be a little longer in order to incorporate the meet, as well as a short practice.

Event 1: 100 IM
Event 2: 50 Free

Event 3: 50 Fly
Event 4: 100 Free
Event 5: 50 Back
Event 6: 50 Breast
Event 7: 200 Free

E-mail me (lyonsmasters@gmail.comASAP with the events that you would like to swim! This way I can situate the lanes for some good races! You can swim as many as you would like, but please swim at least 1! More info will be sent shortly in an e-mail with some tiny meet details :)

Summer Schedule Update

Masters Swimmers!

Our summer season is nearing the end. We will have our last practice on Saturday, July 19th. The pools at LT South and North Campus are closing for two weeks for cleaning and draining before the start of the school year.

The summer season was intended to conclude on August 3rd. For the remainder of the summer (July 22, 24, 26, 29, 31, August 2) I am going to offer meeting people at Ohio St Beach for lake swims. I will determine the time within the next week.

Current and up to date water temps can be found here. Hopefully, water temps start to rise before the summer ends. It is at a balmy 60 degrees right now.

Information for the fall schedule will be posted as soon as it is available. Feel free to e-mail me lyonsmasters@gmail.com, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.


Thank you!

Lauren

Saturday's Practice

In case you didn't check your email...

Hello Masters,

Due to the birth of Steve's son, practice this Saturday morning will take place at NORTH from 7-8am. You will be sharing the pool with the high school swimmers. It might be a bit crowded, but we will manage. If you care to, you are welcome to swim with the high schoolers and do their practice, or use what Steve has posted. Steve will be back next Thursday for more fun. Thanks and I will see you there.
