This is just a reminder that we will be hosting a pizza party this Thursday August 9th at 6pm at the Vintage High School pool to show our appreciation for your participation in our summer program and to get a group photo as well. We hope that you can make it out to celebrate a successful Summer 2012 session and mingle a little with other families. We will take the photo first then let everyone enjoy the food. Please check our website throughout the year for more information on our fall, winter and spring session atwww.sealsaquatics.com and we hope you continue to be involved with our team.
Additionally, please take the time to make any final payments you may owe for the summer, any athletes who wish to participate in the future will not be allowed to do so until any outstanding bills are paid. Thank you for your cooperation and hope to see you at the pool Thursday!
Sincerely,
NVWP, MACS and Napa Valley Diving
We are honored to announce that Monticello Aquatic Club Seals is a recipient of a 2012 Pacific Swimming Pool Improvement Grant. The objective of the program is to help better serve the needs of Pacific Swimming and local communities in terms of club development, meet hosting and water safety. MACS has already hosted a Senior-level meet this year and will be hosting the NBAL Championship meet for the third year in a row this July. “It’s great to be recognized by Pacific Swimming to our commitment to hosting more meets in the North Bay as well as give back to the Vintage HS aquatic facility which has been a great home for us,” Head Coach Matt Mills remarked.
Monticello Aquatic Club Seals will be offering numerous aquatics programs at Vintage High School this summer including:
Splash Ball: For Boys & Girls ages 5-9 years, Splash Ball has been setup specifically for those boys and girls that are beginners to water polo and want an introduction to the game. We will have water polo trained coaches that will do the teaching and explain all aspects of water polo and some swim stroke techniques.
Seal Pups Swim Lessons: Swim lessons for ALL ages, including parent and baby classes. Small class sizes, 3-5 students per instructor depending on ability level. Includes water safety instruction.

Just a reminder that tomorrow, Wednesday evening, November 30 at 5:00pm, at the pool, there is a meeting for ALL female water polo players!
Kim Everist, Olympic Development Program Girls National Director, is taking time out of her very busy schedule to drive here from the South Bay after work just to give Julian’s girls an informative view of the ODP program. Parents and daughters should attend.
Younger players can stay after early practice and older girls can listen before they get in the pool… It won’t be very long and definitely worth the time. Even if you’ve never entertained the idea of participating in ODP or don’t know anything about it, this is the time to learn – it won’t hurt to listen! She will present an explanation of the program more clearly than from any website!
Sophia and Bret & I can swear by the immediate and long reaching benefits of this program, from improving your own team here at home to national exposure. Other players you know who have participated: Nina Frappia, Frances Dahlberg, Corinne and Kathleen Schafle, Peachy Vicencio, Rachel Tiss, Ghitta Ferrarra, Maddie Anderson, and more.
