Hi Past Winter Sturgeons-

Apologies if you are in my Fall Training session and this is a duplicate email for you, just disregard. You all know I like to go overboard on my information. 

Winter Season Registration Opening Tomorrow!

If you opted for the full school year, you are all set for the full school year. So you do not have to sign-up for the season.

If you just signed up and paid for the fall and want to do the winter season as well. You can sign-up tomorrow to save a spot, but you can opt to pay by check and I will invoice you at the start of the Winter Season- October 26th. I can set-up a monthly payment plan for you this year. I will send you a link.

I am working out a plan for drylands for both the Teal and Big Sturgeons group that involves renting a dance studio space at SMC for Monday and Wednesdays before practice. In order to support the cost of this and the cost of our program I have gone back to having one rate per practice group whether you plan to attend all practices per week or not. If this is prohibitive to your participation please let me know and I can try to accommodate you for this season. However, I looked at other programs in the area and they all have 1 rate per program. So it seems consistent with other swim programs in the area. I also think if you are interested in feeling the most invested in a program and getting the most out of it, you should try to come to as many practices as you can, especially during the main winter season.

Some Exciting Opportunities for Racing:

Sign-Up for UVAC One Session Saturday October 17th Swim Meet. Here is the meet info sheet. The warm-up will be 11am at the earliest and the meet will be done around 4:30pm. So a relatively quick swim day. It will be fun and a good chance for the fall swimmers to get a competitive experience after a few weeks of swimming. All ages are together so it’s fun for whole team bonding and families getting to be in all one session. If you have any questions, reach out to me.

Youth Tri-athlon at SMC on Sunday October 4th! Please see the email below:

Hello Coach Hilary,

The Saint Michael’s College Nordic ski team is hosting a USA Triathlon-sanctioned youth race on Sunday, October 4th – and we thought some members of your swim teams may be interested!

During the SMC Ski Tri, young athletes (ages 6 to 13) will take on our kid-friendly course. Held on the beautiful Saint Michael’s campus, participants will swim, pedal, and run through the finish line. Racers are organized by age, and the distances are age appropriate. No experience is necessary! There are participation medals for all finishers and awards for top 3 in each category.

REGISTER NOW

Thank you!

Saint Mike’s Nordic Ski Team
