Silver 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 our meet! It was exciting to see some fast swims for the amount of work we have been doing. I do know that we do have some very tired swimmers as well. The next 2 weeks are very important to make as many practices as possible...this is the last push before the end of season meets. Some highlights from the meet include:

·         New Sectional Cuts by the following swimmers: Celina Li (400 Free), Chris Webb (100 Back) and Kayra Zsiga (50 Free)

·         New Far Western Cuts by 14 and under swimmers: Taryn Collura (100 Back), Haley Lopus (200 Free) and Kathleen Mulligan (200 Fly)

·         New BEST Team Record: Celina Li (11-12 200 IM). The record she broke is Kalyn Keller's from 1998. Way to go!

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 our meet over this past weekend!

That is all for right now.

Thanks!

Coach Kevin

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

1)       Thank you to all the swimmers for a great weekend up at Manresa. Everyone had fun and we got some good group bonding in. If anyone has pictures, please send me some copies. A big thank you to Mary Carbajal for her help on the trip! We could not have done it without you. Thanks again Mary! By the way, it was fun watching the swimmers imitate me during their skits Saturday night! This is a very special group and I am very lucky to be coaching them!!!!

2)       Swim Meet this weekend at BEST. Prelim warm-ups are at 7:00am on all 3 days. The meet starts at 8:00am. Finals (Top 16) warm-up will begin at 4:30pm and meet start at 5:30pm. The morning sessions will be short. The t-shirt order for this weekend will be: Friday (Yellow), Saturday (White) and Sunday (Red). I will talk to the swimmers this week about wearing racing suits. I really want them to go after it this weekend. This is our last chance to race before the end of season meets.

3)       We will need parent volunteers to help with timing each session. This meet cannot run without you. There is no sign up sheet. Just show up when timers are being called for before the session begins. Thanks for your help!

4)       Swimmers not competing Friday due to summer school...should come to the finals session on Friday to get a warm-up in.

5)       There is no practice this Wednesday morning (June 18).

6)       We will be practicing hard the next two weeks after the meet to get ready for the end of season. Swimmers need to be attending all practices possible.

That is all for now.

Thanks

Coach Kevin
