The Methacton Aquatic Club (MAC) will be
holding registration for swimmers and divers on Monday, September
14th from 5:30pm to 7:30pm at the MHS Cafeteria. You may also
register by mail prior to September 14th or at the pool evenings from
September 15th - 17th. Registration forms can be found on the MAC
site (choose the MAC tab on the menu). The Methacton Aquatic Club
offers additional competitive swimming and diving opportunities for our
MHS athletes. Again this season, there will not be a fee for any
Methacton High School Team athlete who joins MAC. We are hoping
that this will encourage more MHS Team members to join MAC and compete
as often as they can.
The aquatic club is always looking for high school athletes to compete
in the dual team meets, earn points for the team, and mentor the younger
swimmers. Many high school athletes have grown up through the
aquatic club, and are familiar with the role models provided by our high
school athletes. Our MHS Team members are helping to continue and
build the tradition of Methacton Swimming. Warriors who join MAC
will practice with the High School team and participate in Aquatic Club
meets on Saturdays during the winter season.
For those of you new to high school
swimming/diving, Pennsylvania High School Meets do not have exhibition
heats in any events. There is only one heat (3 entries for each
team) in each event, thus reducing the number of opportunities for the
high school athlete to compete. The aquatic club is not limited to only
one heat per event, and offers several heats per event, giving the
athletes many opportunities to compete in several events. The
aquatic club is an age group competitive swim team, with athletes from
age 5 or 6 years old up through high school seniors. And
most important, MAC meets are fun! Please click on the
Methacton Aquatic Club tab if you would like more information. |
