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 :)
