Red Team: June 2008 Archives

Hi all! Here are some notes for this week...

1)       Dive-In movie night and potluck dinner to celebrate the Olympic Trials Swimmers is tonight. The movie will be National Treasure 2.

2)       Great job by the swimmers this past weekend at the Sparky Meet! It was exciting to see some fast swims for the amount of work we have been doing. I want to thank the swimmers and parents for keeping a great attitude during the long, hot sessions. Coach Jennifer and I are very proud of all the swimmers. This is not what we would normally want a meet experience to be like (long sessions). Some highlights from the meet include:

·         New State Times by the following swimmers: Dominic Goshert (50 Fly), Audrey Mann (100 Back), Kassidy Schmidt (100 Back) and Jack Travis (50 Back)

·         New Far Western Cut by Jack Travis in the 100 Breaststroke. Way to go Jack!

3)       Please make sure the swimmers are bringing water bottles to practice everyday. It is very important that we do not become dehydrated. I will start having 5 minute drink breaks around the middle of practice so they can refill them. I want to try to keep everyone healthy so we can have a great end of season.

4)       There will be no practice on Friday, July 4^th.

5)       Thank you to all the parents who helped at the Sparky Meet over this past weekend with either timing or watching over the kids in the air-conditioned areas!

That is all for right now.

Thanks!

Coach Kevin
