President’s Letter
Dear Fellow Member, Spring is here and summer is right around the corner, so now is a good time to look ahead and make plans for an active time at your Club. This Membership Guide and Program book will outline the many programs and activities that the MAC will offer this season. For fitness, personal training, sports camps, swim team, tennis, basketball, squash, racquetball, handball, golf and so much more, the variety of activities and programs offered by the MAC is unrivaled by any club in town. The number of programs and services are just one reason why the MAC is a certified Platinum Club of America, which is the industry’s highest standard of quality and service. The MAC provides outstanding facilities, programs and instructors to ensure that the entire family has an enjoyable athletic experience. Please take a look through this book to see all that is offered at both Clubhouses. In addition to the current activities you already participate in, I encourage you expand to your workout routine and add something new. Enjoy a fun and active summer by spending quality time at the MAC while improving your health. See you at the Club! Christopher J. Lawhorn President

The MAC is partnering with PlyoCity, the top plyometric trainer in the U.S., to provide its proven training program for members. The PlyoCity Sports Performance Program will combine a comprehensive series of plyometric and core strengthening exercises to increase performance and reduce the risk of sports related injuries. Athletes will work hard, but the workout’s fast pace and group setting make it enjoyable. The program is low impact and only twice per week, leaving plenty of time and energy for other sports activities. The program uses the same workout used by thousands of athletes across the country, including PlyoCity clients Misty May and Kerri Walsh. May and Walsh won the gold medal in beach volleyball in Athens in 2004 after train-
ing with PlyoCity. They also repeated a gold medal win in Beijing in 2008. Misty and Kerri last trained with PlyoCity on July 31, 2008, right before leaving for Beijing. Many area high schools and select sports clubs have trained with PlyoCity with excellent results. PlyoCity guarantees that every athlete will experience significant results, including a measurable increase in vertical jump. Athletes will be tested on the first day of their workout.

Personal Training MAC FITNESS CENTER ETIQUETTE
1. If you use it, please put it away. For safety reasons, please re-stack your weights and dumbbells after you are finished using them. Also, please be courteous to other members by placing bands, steps, balls, periodicals, etc. back in proper storage areas. 2. Please clean up after yourself. Once you are finished with a piece of equipment, please wipe it clean with disinfectant spray. This will ensure for a cleaner and healthier workout environment. 3. Share with other members. Instead of getting upset when someone is monopolizing a piece of strength equipment, just ask to “work in.” This means you are taking turns lifting while they rest between sets. 4. Be aware of surroundings. Don’t rest on equipment. If doing multiple reps, please get up while you rest and let others work in with you. 5. Please follow rules. Be considerate of the other members by observing the cardio usage limits posted in the Fitness Center. Please wear appropriate attire while working out. Street clothes such as sandals and jeans are not permitted. Since the majority of members arrive in their workout attire, please be cognizant at all times of the cleanliness of your shoes. Dirt, mud, and grime will decrease the longevity of the fitness equipment. Also, avoid using cell phones in the Fitness Center. It can be distracting to others as well as dangerous. Cell phones are allowed in the Fitness Center only in case of emergencies. 6. Loud noises can happen. During workouts, breathing heavily is a normal part of many people’s exercise habits. However, please be respectful of other members working out and those who are receiving a massage and try to keep the grunting and groaning to a minimum. 7. Where is my stuff? Lockers are provided for your personal belongings. Please only bring what you need for your workout to the Fitness Center. 8. Don’t share your illness. Please do not workout when you are sick. Not only is it possible to infect others, but it is also very counterproductive.

Penguin Swim Team MAC PENGUIN SWIM TEAM 2011 Penguin Swim Team registration: This year, all interested participants MUST SIGN UP IN PERSON or through online registration Introduction Welcome to MAC’s Swimming and Diving Team! You will be asked to give your time and talent. In turn, the swimming and diving representatives (reps) welcome your questions and suggestions. We hope these pages will give you much of the information you need. TEAM GOALS: Learning. Our goal for each swimmer and diver is to learn and improve continually. A swimmer’s progress is easily measured by comparing lap times after every race. If the times are faster each week, the swimmer is improving, even though he/she may consistently finish in last place. In diving, progress is more difficult to measure. A diver’s meet performance is scored by judges, who sometimes differ. In general, however, an increase in the total points on a dive indicates improvement. Improvement, for the swimmer or the diver, is not easily achieved. Hard work and attention to instructions are required. Competition. We believe competition can be a positive learning experience. We encourage individual effort as well as team performance and good sportsmanship. Fun. The team situation provides fun for the participants as they build friendships and team spirit. There is also an awards banquet at the end of the season. Exercise. Swimming is one of the best forms of exercise. Any swimmer who conscientiously participates in practice is guaranteed to get “in shape.”

SWIM TEAM GUIDELINES
Penguin Swim Team
Lessons v. Team In general, youngsters who do not have a good grasp of the fundamentals of the freestyle and backstroke would do better to master these skills in lessons before joining the team. Otherwise, they may quickly become discouraged if they lag far behind others in their age group. Even for many team members, refresher lessons are very helpful. These can be set up individually with the coaches. Practice Times Practice begins the week of Tuesday, May 31 (day after Memorial Day). The first week of practice will be afternoon practices from 4-6 p.m. Consult Swim Team Manual for up-to-date times. Morning practices begin June 6. Double check with the front desk on times at 314-539-4444. MONDAY: Meet Days 8-8:45 a.m. Open Age Group 8:45-9:30 a.m. Open Age Group TUESDAY: NO PRACTICE WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY Times Ages 8-8:45 a.m. Open Age Group 8:45-9:45 a.m. 9/10 8:45-10 a.m. 13 & over 9:45-10:30 a.m. 8 & under 10-11 a.m. 11/12 10:30-11 a.m. 6 & under WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY AFTERNOONS 4-4:45 p.m. 8 & Under 4:45-5:30 p.m. 9 & Over Practice Procedures Practices include two basic elements: teaching and repetition drill. A typical practice has a warm-up (usually a slow, relatively long-distance swim), stroke drills (emphasizing some specific lessons) and sprints or distance swimming (to develop speed and endurance). Parents should be aware that group practice precludes individual attention. The coach will make every effort to point out errors, give tips on improvement and teach the strokes. However, quick reminders are not always enough to change a child’s technique. If your child is having some difficulty with a stroke, feel free to discuss this with the coach. He may share some pointers with you or suggest lessons. Improvement comes with practice; regular attendance is beneficial to the child and the team. Please have your child to practice on time. Repeating instructions several times for the benefit of latecomers wastes coaching time. Notes on practicing It is important that swimmers practice the techniques they learn all the time, not just during the specific stroke drill Although the coach will remind them, you can reinforce this idea too. This means that the time to practice flip turns is every time the swimmer completes a lap, and the time to practice starts is every time a swimmer goes off the block. The best swimmers also practice on their own time to perfect starts, turns, finishes and stroke techniques.

Swim Team Parent/Coach Contact Most parents drop their children off for practice. You may certainly stay to watch if you wish, but please do not interrupt the workout. If your child misbehaves and the coach misses it, please wait until after practice is over to make your displeasure known. If you wish to discuss something with the coach, please wait until after practice to do so. What to do if your child will miss a meet ALL VACATIONS MUST BE MARKED IN THE VACATION BOOK. It is the responsibility of the swimmer to do this. If a child is ill the day of the meet, the coach must be notified by noon so that adjustments can be made. If not, the swimmer will not be allowed to swim in the next meet. If a swimmer misses a meet because the coach was not properly informed, then the swimmer will not be allowed to swim in the next meet. MEET DAY WARM-UPS ARE AT 4:30 P.M. FOR HOME MEETS AND 5 P.M. FOR AWAY MEETS. COMPETITION BEGINS AT 5:30 P.M. AND RUNS UNTIL APPROXIMATELY 10 P.M. Warm-up usually looks chaotic, but it is very important for swimmers to loosen up, adjust to the starting blocks, practice turns on the wall and check backstroke flags and any other markings which may be unfamiliar to them. In a tight race these times can make a difference. During meets all swimmers must remain in the team area. Limiting trips to the snack bar and restroom is advised. If a child misses a race, it is his/her own fault. When it is his/her turn to swim, a swimmer will be directed from the team area to the starting blocks by the official starter. Swimmers must learn to follow the starter’s directions exactly. Once the race is over, swimmers should report to the team area. Parents All parents are required to work at least three meets, depending on enrollment. This includes time trials, and division dual meets. In addition, you will be required to work the conference meet if your child/children participate. Parent workers must report to the team representative no later than 5 p.m. and work until the end of the meet to receive credit. Those parents not fulfilling this commitment will be fined $100 the first offense, $150 for the second and $225 for the third offense and also denied participation in the 2011 swim team season. The money will be used to buy new equipment for next year. Parents who sign up for a meet and do not attend or do not find their own sub will not be allowed to have their child swim in the following meet. Parents are asked to let the parent representative know who is subbing for you. Note that the Gateway Swimming & Diving Conference prohibits any parent worker or parent representative from drinking alcoholic beverages during any meet, including the championship meet (preliminary, finals or a timed final meet). Such actions by a parent worker will force the team to automatically forfeit the meet. In the event that a swimmer/diver belongs to two participating clubs in the Gateway Conference, he/she may only swim/ dive for ONE team for the entire season. COACHES: Tim J. Kelley, Director of Athletics at the Missouri Athletic Club West, Head Coach Jim Halliburton and Asst. Head Coach Lauren Fonseca oversee an excellent staff of young coaches for each age group. Coaches will be introduced at the first practice and are available for questions and discussion after practice.
COACHES Jim Halliburton Head Swim Coach Halliburton is the Head Coach at Saint Louis University. He has turned around swim programs at the Rockwood Swim Club, Marquette High School and the Missouri Athletic Club Summer League. His longest tenure was as the head coach of the Rockwood Swim Club where from 1985 to 2002 he took a program with 38 swimmers and turned it into a national champion squad some 500 swimmers strong. Halliburton’s Marquette team won three state championships in his last four seasons. In just two seasons with the Missouri Athletic Club Summer League team, Halliburton took a team that had not won a meet in 1999 to a conference championship in 2001. He was named U.S. National Team Coach three times and the Region 8 Coach of the Year six times. Halliburton was recently inducted into the MAC Sports Hall of Fame. 36

Practice procedure In diving, progress is less easily measured. A diver’s meet performance is scored by judges, who sometimes differ. In general, however, an increase in the total points on a dive indicates improvement. Improvement, for the swimmer or the diver, is not easily achieved. Hard work and attention to instructions are required. Parents should be aware that group practice precludes individual attention. The coach will make every effort to keep practice groups small, point out errors, give tips on improvement and teach new dives. However, quick reminders are not always enough to change a child’s technique. If your child is having some difficulty with a dive, feel free to discuss this with the coach. She/he may share some pointers with you or suggest lessons. Improvement comes with practice; regular attendance is beneficial to the child and the team. Please make every effort to have your child to practice on time. Repeating instructions several times for the benefit of the latecomers wastes coaching time. Parent/coach contact Most parents drop their children off for practice. You may certainly stay to watch if you wish, but please do not interrupt the workout. If your child misbehaves and the coach misses it, please wait until after practice is over to make your displeasure known.
