Shirts and Programs

We have just five (5) programs left. They're $3 each. Might want to get one or two before they're gone.

We're still selling shirts at a discount. This year's gray with "Who's afraid of the big, bad wolf?" ($8) - and last year - maroon with "No speed limit" ($5).

We're out of XL, but have at least a few in the other sizes.

Success isn't measured by money or power
or social rank. Success is measured by
your discipline and inner peace.

Time to Answer the Call!

MAC is hosting a BB meet this weekend and we're in need of volunteers.

We especially need timers and runners. Please contact Mrs. McKinley to volunteer for these jobs.

Also, manning the concession stand will be important during the long course season. We've got home meets that need concession stand workers on the following weekends this summer:

May 7-9

June 11-13

July 16-18

Remember, we must help out at these meets. Our team travel trip will be a "no-go" if we can't get Timberview volunteers out there to help. We've got a core group of parents that have been carrying the load. Please step up and give them a hand! Contact Mrs. Tipton to sign up.

Weekly Quote

There are only two distinct classes of
people on this earth; those who espouse
enthusiasm and those who despise it.

Weekly Quote

If we value the pursuit of knowledge, we must
be free to follow wherever that search may
lead us. The free mind is not a barking
dog, to be tethered to a ten-foot chain.

Morning Bus Riders

Attention morning group bus riders:

Seems some of you are catching rides to campus with other students.

You know this is prohibited.

If you do not drive yourself to campus, you must ride the morning bus shuttle.

This simple policy that's been in place at the natatorium for years:

Drivers do not take passengers.

Riders board the bus on time and ride to campus on the transportation provided by MISD.

Referrals will be written if you violate this policy!

Spring/Summer Club Training

As you know, Timberview will return to the UIL's 5A classification starting in the fall of 2010. While we're unsure of our new swimming/diving alignment (what district/region will we be in?), one thing is certain:

We need to be prepared to compete at a higher level!

We have some very talented athletes in our high school program that can take their swimming to another level in the next year.

To help you "get there", I want you to focus on some things that make the best in our sport...well, the best in our sport!



These athletes:

1. train year-round,
2. compete year-round,
3. swim workouts at high intensity,
4. swim both mornings and afternoons during the week,
5. train on Saturday's,
6. pay close attention to nutrition,
7. follow a strenuous dry-land regimen,
8. maintain shoulder stability with specific exercises,
9. make flexibility a part of their daily routine, and
10. find ways to train/compete - rather than find excuses not to.

If you'd like to take your swimming to the next level, MAC has a proven program to make it happen.

The 2010 MAC spring practice schedule is here.

Fee information is here.

More info - including the new online registration link - is on the MAC home page here.

Updates are often posted on the MAC blog here.
