The class helps students prepare to confidently take the ACT by explaining the format of the test, sharing the types of questions to expect for each section of the test, teaching both general and specific test-taking strategies, giving tips for pacing during the test, explaining the rubric for the essay portion, as well as administering and correcting mini practice tests. The best way to reduce anxiety and increase confidence is to be familiar with expectations. With the recent requirement of all juniors to take the ACT as part of the Michigan Merit Exam (given in March), it is even more important that students proactively prepare for this test.

Enriched For Life - Winter/Spring 2013 Portage Aquatic Club Swim Team Portage Aquatic Club was developed for age group swimmers who wish to cultivate their swimming ability. The program runs nearly year-round (mid- September through mid-March and mid-April through early August). The program is open to swimmers age 6 and older who can swim the length of the pool. (Swimmers new to PAC need to meet with a coach to determine placement. Previous swimmers that are unsure of placement, contact Coach Parker.) See group description for tryout dates and times. This is not a “learn-to-swim” program. The Portage Aquatic Club CROCODILES Training Groups, team definitions: The CROCS training groups are designed to focus primarily on a swimmer’s competitive objectives, beginning first with PAC Jr. Developmental Program, and then moving through a progression including the various levels of Junior CROCS, CROCS and Senior CROCS Level Competitive Programs. It is important to remember that anything introduced in a previous group will be carried forward and expanded upon at the next level. Final team placement is at the discretion of the coaches. This progression is outlined briefly as follows. PAC Training Groups Within Group Divisions: Black VS. Green: Within each group (Junior Crocs, Crocs, Senior Crocs) there are two divisions, Black and Green. These categories are designed to place a child in a group with others who have a similar skill level. This will make for a better overall learning/ training environment. Swimmers who have been on CROCS for at least one season are more familiar with the drills, are competitive, and can handle the training intervals of the group will generally be placed in the black group. Swimmers who are not prepared for the training intervals of the black group, are new to the program, who need more time to learn the drills of the program, or who need development and/or play other sports, will train in the green group. Note - even though the green division is developmental, there will still be training and skill development occurring. PAC offers “open enrollment” and fees can be paid on a monthly basis, due in advance, on or before the 10th of each month. A $5 late fee will be assessed for payments received after that date. You have the option to pay for the entire season and receive 15% discount. There is also a small discount for multiple children enrolled. Participants are encouraged to swim the maximum number of practices offered. There will be no prorating of monthly membership fees if your swimmer chooses to swim fewer days or start in the middle of a billing period. USA membership is required. Fee is $57 annually, payable to Portage Swimming. USA Swimming offers, as a benefit of membership, insurance coverage to its members and member clubs to include General Liability and Excess Accident Medical coverage. USA meet fees vary by meet. *You can find more information about PAC on their website: www.portageaquaticclub.com Just For Kids: Aquatics For more information, go to: www.portageaquaticclub.com To register, go to: www.ppscommed.org Junior Crocs-Green/Black Ages 6-12 In the Junior Crocs Developmental Program, there are two divisions; Green and Black. This is the beginner level for all swimmers that are getting started in the sport, or who enjoy the sport but are unsure about competing in 2 or 3 day-long meets. This program would also be appropriate for swimmers who would like to learn more about swimming in meets and gain a better understanding before moving to the more competitive side of swimming. Much of the focus in these groups will be on learning proper technique and developing a basic level of endurance upon which to build in the future. This program will incorporate local dual/tri-meets and inter-squad, very fun and low-key swimming competitions that may happen during practice time (aka, ‘Fun Meet’), with the goal of providing both swimmers and their parents an opportunity to gain a better understanding of swimming before doing the higher level USA Swimming meets. It will also gauge their child’s success/progress. The following are the general aspects of focus for the Junior Croc groups. Swimmers MUST be able to swim one length of the pool freestyle with face in the water and one length of the pool backstroke BEFORE joining this team. (Swimmers new to PAC need to meet with a coach to determine placement. Previous swimmers that are unsure of placement, contact Coach Parker.) Commitment: If swimmers join the Jr. Crocs/Green group, they will have 2-3 sessions per week for 30 minutes. If swimmers join the Jr. Crocs/Black group, swimmers will have 3-4 sessions per week for 45 minutes.
