Maverick Aquatics

Welcome! Whether or not you are military, and whether or not you have swum before, our team has a place for you! 

This site is full of information, so if you have limited time, just make sure you read "About MAV" and "This Season."  Information about equipment and clothing items can be found at the "Team Items" link under "Categories."  Posts appear from newest to oldest right underneath this one.  We make announcements at practice, but other than there, this site is our primary means of communication.

See you at the pool!

Notes:

1.       We will attend meets if we have enough people going.  That will require a sign-up at least three weeks in advance.

2.       *We will either choose one of these meets depending on interest (based on the age group of our team at present the PNY meet would be better for them, but the older kids need the long-course option that GPAC offers) or we may go to PNY on Saturday and GPAC on Sunday.

3.       If we do not have enough people going to a meet and swimmers are still interested, we may just go to one day of the meet.

Practice schedule change due to pool grate installation

Folks, Due to a new Fed. Gov. regulation there has to be a certain type of drain grate in the bottom of the pool at Hurlburt. It is on order, but until it is here and installed, the pool is closed. They are working to rectify the situation.

In the meantime we will take the following steps:

1. On M, T, F (our regular Hurlburt practice days) we will meet at the playground across from the pool for dryland. Have shorts, T-shirt, SHOES, a towel to lie down on, and warm clothes to put on if the temp drops. We will workout from 4:00-5:15. If it rains we will go under the pavilion over there. This is a great opportunity to work on getting everyone stronger.
2. I will also check with Eglin to see if we can swim there Monday afternoons if there is enough interest (let me know if you are interested in that opportunity).

Thanks for your patience.
Coach Dan

Updates and reminders

1. Please remember to turn in your order form for a team parka if you want to order one.  It does not have to be paid for at this time.  I just need to know size and name and I'll take care of the rest!
2. Our practice schedule will be changing on Nov. 17th.  It is not confirmed as of yet but we should be swimming three mornings and one afternoon at Eglin, three afternoons at Hurlburt.
Hopefully that will make enough practices available to everyone on both ends of town.
3. There is still a chance to swim at CMSA on Saturday of the Nov. 15th weekend!  Please let me know NOW if you wish to go.

Mobile in November; team parkas!

Hi folks,

A number of you have been changing your minds about meets you will attend.  We are going to go to the CMSA meet in Mobile on the weekend of Nov. 14-16, but, due to numbers, it looks like we will go only on Saturday.  Right now I have four swimmers entered.  If you wish to go to the meet and just Saturday works for you, please let me know by the end of the week; Oct. 24.

 

Additionally,  I have order forms for team parkas.  If you would like one (they make great Christmas presents!) the total cost should be approx. $85 depending on how many we get.  They will be black on the outside, gold lining, and purple lettering.  Sizes are available in YOUTH: S,M,L and Adult: XS,S,M,L,XL.

Please see me and ask for an order form if you would like one.  Orders are due by Nov. 3.

October update

Just a few things to remember during October.  I am entering the Dothan Meet(Oct 25 and 26) this coming week.  I am going according to the meet sign up sheets I've received and the emails.  If there are any changes, please let me know by Tuesday.

October 30 and 31st there will be no practice.  Coach Dan will be out of town.  Please take a look at the meets for November.  It looks like we do have a few people that would like to go to the CMSA meet in Mobile.  I would like to have more to make the meet economically feasible.  Please let me know if you would like to go. The more the merrier!
