Open
Houses
July
14
We would like new young
members to join our team this fall, and we're hoping that
you will take a little bit of your time to help the team. We
are looking for help from all of our members to participate
in Schools' Open Houses this fall. We would like to have a
Blackline Aquatics' table at as many Open Houses as
possible. It is a great way to get our name out in the area
with very little cost and time commitment. We would prefer
Elementary Schools, as we need mostly Novice level swimmers.
We would supply brochures and posters, but we need some of
you members to help us contact the school's principal for a
table spot and then stand at the table that day. Standing
at the table is easy, and your swimmer can help out. If
your child attends a private school, we would like to supply
flyers to those schools as well. Please let me, Eva, know
if you can look into an open house table at your school and
then stand there during the open house. Thanks!!!!

Private
lessons for Junior/Senior
April 14
At the
end of last season, Scott felt like swimmers in the
Junior and Senior group’s had taken a dramatic step towards
really wanting to develop their mechanics. This has led him
to add some options for those individuals interested. He is offering some private lessons on the weekends.
There is still an opening for a private lesson this
Saturday, April 24th, at the 1:15-2 pm time slot. If
you are interested please let Scott know. There was a
tremendous response to the lesson and he will be offering
more in May. To see that schedule please visit his new
website at www.SwimBikeRunMinnesota.com.
Master’s
Swim Program
April 14
Starting this spring I, Scott, will be taking over the
Master’s swim group at Blackline Aquatics. I am hoping to
boost the numbers and I realize that there are some of you
out there that currently swim on your own. Many of you do
Triathlon’s during the summer, and as we get closer to the
racing season, you are probably starting to look for better
options. I am hoping to get some feedback from you all about
a practice schedule that might work better. I have some
thoughts, but please let me know if you’re interested or
have other suggestions.
The
practice time is currently Monday through Thursday mornings
5:30-7:00 am. Most get out when they need to for work.
Proposal
1. Monday/Wednesday/Thursday mornings 5:30-7:00am and
Sunday mornings 7:00-8:30am
Proposal
2. Monday/Wednesday/Thursday mornings at said time and
Saturday 11:00-12:30 or immediately following the
Junior/Senior practices.
These
proposals would be effective only during the school year and
not affect the summer schedule. Our summer schedule would
remain the same; Monday through Friday mornings at the
Richfield Outdoor Pool.
To see that schedule please visit my new website at www.SwimBikeRunMinnesota.com.
Thank
you.
