Silver Team: April 2008 Archives

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

1)       Great job by Celina and Taryn at the Swim Meet this past weekend in Mission Viejo! 5 of their 7 swims were best times ever! This is great considering it is still April. This really shows what we had hoped to accomplish this summer by not taking a long break in April....faster long course swimming earlier in the season. I am expecting big things by everyone else at either the Gauchos Meet or the Cactus Classic.

2)       BEST Intrasquad Meet is this Saturday. Pancake breakfast begins at 7:30am. (Please see the sheet that was in your file folders as to what you need to bring in.) Team pictures will take place at 8:10am. Meet warm-ups will begin at 8:30 with the meet starting at 9:30. The meet should be over by 12:30.

3)       BEST Awards Banquet is this Sunday. You need to purchase tickets in advance. Please see Sandy in the office to do this. Tickets will not be available at the door.

4)       Gauchos Meet (for those not swimming Cactus Classic) is May 17^th and 18^th. I need your participation form turned in by tomorrow if you plan on swimming in that meet. I will not enter swimmers without that form.

5)       Silver Manresa trip will be June 13^th - 15^th. More information to come soon.

6)       Summer practice schedule will begin Tuesday, May 27^th. I will pass out schedules to the swimmers in the next couple of weeks.

That is all for right now.

Thanks

Coach Kevin

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

1)       BEST Intrasquad Meet is Saturday, May 3^rd. The Senior Groups will be hosting a pancake breakfast that morning. Senior Group parents will need to help in organizing this event. The Age Group parents will handle this for our Fall Meet and parties. If you can help, please let Sandy know.

2)       BEST Awards Banquet is Sunday, May 4^th. You must purchase tickets in advance for this. Please stop into the office to do this. There will be no tickets sold at the door. Please plan on attending.

3)       Gauchos Meet (May 17^th -18^th)...please turn in the participation form if you are attending. This will be a good chance for swimmers not competing at Cactus Classic to race in May. The whole point of us taking a break at Christmas and not one in April was to have our swimmers going fast earlier in the long course season. Even though there is no warm-down pool at this meet, swimmers should still plan on going so they can learn to deal with certain situations. They are not going to have the ideal racing conditions all the time and they need to learn how to adjust. The participation form is due back to me by April 30^th.

4)       Cactus Classic Meet (May 23^rd - 26^th)...those entries have been posted on the bulletin board. We will make adjustments to entries after the Intrasquad meet.

5)       Summer practice schedule will begin Tuesday, May 27^th.

6)       Silver Manresa Trip will be June 13^th - 15^th. More information to come.

That is all for right now.

Thanks

Hi all! Here are some notes for this week…

1) Far Westerns swimmers – take the next three days off. I will see you Thursday at practice.

2) Cactus Classic Entries were passed out to swimmers in Silver last week. I will continue passing those out this week to swimmers that did not get it. I need to know by this Friday if there are any changes.

3) BEST Intrasquad Meet is Saturday, May 3rd.

4) BEST Awards Banquet is Sunday, May 4th.

5) There are no practice changes for this week. Remember that morning practices have started. Swimmers should be trying to attend 100% of their scheduled practices. Some swimmers are scheduled for 8 practices a week, others for 7 a week.

6) Swimmers need to make sure they have the following equipment for practice-
• Swim Bag, Kickboard, Pull Buoy, Paddles, Fins, Snorkel, 2 tennis balls, old pair of tennis shoes for kicking in the pool. Please make sure all equipment is marked with their name.

7) The Manresa trip for Silver will be June 13th – 15th. More info to come later.

That is all for right now.
Thanks
Coach Kevin
