Mason Water Moccasins Swim Team Lou Eves Municipal Pool • May 29 – July 28 The Mason Water Moccasins is a competitive summer swim team in the Tri-County Swim League. The team practices at the outdoor Lou Eves Municipal Pool. Participants will improve upon the four competitive swim strokes along with starts and turns, and learn what it's like to work as a member of a team and the importance of sportsmanship. The Water Moccasins swim team is for children (regardless of age) who possess a Level 5 swim certificate or can demonstrate Level 5 skills. We encourage children who do not possess these skills to enroll in the Mason Swim Academy to develop the skills and endurance needed to participate on the Water Moccasins swim team. A stroke assessment is required for all new perspective swimmers. Please plan to attend an assessment session at 2 p.m. on either Saturday, April 14, or Saturday, April 21 at the Mason Community Center Competition Pool. It is not necessary to register for an assessment, which should last less than one hour. New swimmers will need the completed stroke assessment form to register. Returning Water Moccasin swimmers do not need to have an assessment and may register beginning Saturday, March 24. The team practices in the mornings at the outdoor Lou Eves Municipal Pool and competes on Tuesday evenings. Home meets are held at the Mason Community Center Competition Pool. Please enroll your child in Mason Swim Academy classes during the summer if he or she will be unable to attend the championships held at Miami University on July 27 and 28. Please note: each family is expected to volunteer in some way with a committee in order to ensure a successful swim season. The Swim Meet committee, the Information committee, the Social committee, and the Awards committee all need family participation. Committee signups will be taken at the Parent Meeting.
