What is MACS practice attendance policy?
We do not have an attendance policy for Mini Macs, Group 1, Group 2, or Seniors. The rest of the groups have a policy and you can get this from the groups’ coach. Of course we recommend that you try to get to as many practices as possible in order to see the most improvement and to feel a member of the group. The swimmers who are most likely to quit the sport are the ones who have the lowest attendance. It can be frustrating when a child feels behind the group because he/she has not been there on a regular basis. We also realize that at the beginner level, many kids are involved in other activities too and we believe this is good for them and do not expect them to choose one activity. For mini macs and group 1 swimmers we offer 3 practices per week and we recommend attending 2. For swimmers who are close to moving up to Group 2, swimmers should start attending 3 days per week. Group 2 swimmers are beginning to do more structured workouts and longer swimming so they will feel the effect
