I'm hoping you all still look at this blog even though it's rarely ever updated anymore. Just a few reminders this time!
First off, we only have 2 days of practice this week! That's not good, so swimming over the break should be your top priority, even if you can only swim for a half hour, do it anyways, otherwise you'll pay for it when we come back. Please note, the week after our break we have a meet on Tuesday the 29th against Weber, yet another reason swimming should be a priority!
Secondly, two things have been cancelled, the pictures and the meet against Clearfield which should've been on Tuesday. Some may consider this a good thing, but in reality it isn't! Please swim over the break, I can guarantee you all I'll be there at least one day out of the three we have off.
Coach stated Friday that we are postponing the pictures to a future date hopefully since less than half the team showed up to practice. I'm sure we will discuss this again in practice on Monday.
Another thing to be noted, Mikey sent a message over Facebook that said he is changing the sweatshirts to hoodies. The cost is still $20 and the design is also still the same. He needs the money ASAP, at the very latest Saturday. He will be at the pool every day this week, so you can drop it off to him any day this week.
I've notice that fewer and fewer people have been showing up to practice and meets now-a-days. I understand you don't like it and that you hardly ever want to go and that you have a life with things to do, but practice really is important. Same applies to meets. Even if you don't think you're good at swimming, you help the team in some sort of way if you go to the meet, and if you don't the whole team suffers. I'd like to note from the first paper coach gave us with all the lettering requirements it clearly states that you will NOT be able to letter if you miss a meet (with the exception of if a coach recommends you letter even though you missed a meet.) and that if you miss a practice that there will be penalties, and I'm sure that if you miss more than ten practices, it will be very hard for you to letter.
That's all I think I have to say! Happy Thanksgiving, go for a swim over the break, and eat lots of turkey!

Coming up this week!
Hey Titans!
I'd just like to remind you all about the things that are happening this week.
First off, we have Region Relays on Thursday! I'm not sure when the bus is coming, so keep a lookout on Facebook for it. Region Relays is very fun meet! I'm sure that everyone will enjoy it tons! This meet consists mainly of relays of all sorts! There's a kickboard relay, a tube relay where you have to get the tube from noe side of the pool to the other, but still, it's really fun! I'm sure you'll all enjoy it a lot!
Coming along with this, I think that the cheering thing was a little bit better than it was before. But still, I want to see EVERYBODY cheering, not just a few people from the team, but every single person on the team. Let's make that a goal for the team and set an example to other teams with that.
Please keep in mind that Thanksgiving is only 2 weeks away, and we'll have 2 days of practice, then the rest of the week off (the week of Thanksgiving). Remember to work hard from now until then so that you'll be a little better in shape once we get back. If I remember right, we have a meet 2 days after we get back from break, so swimming through the break should be a top priority. If you feel like you're going to barf, that's a good thing! That means that you're working hard, and you should feel like that at EVERY practice.
Remember to keep up the good work, and we'll see you all tomorrow! Good luck to all at region relays!

Reminders
So far, I think this season is going to be one of the best ever! I think that if we work as hard as we have been, then we will all do AMAZING at regions. Remember, Regions is a BIG meet. Not only is it the last meet of the season for many on the team, it's your last chance to get a state qualifying time, and it's the meet you work towards all season (unless you really good, then you work towards State.). I have a few reminders for the upcoming week, and some you may have already heard!
First off, we have a meet on Thursday at Cottonwood at 3! This means that you need to bring money for dinner afterwards, as that will happen at most away meets, so just count on doing that for all the away meets.
Also on Thursday, we have early morning practice, even if you're in fourth period. This means that you need to be in the pool by 5:15 AM. That's really early, get used to it. EVERYBODY NEEDS TO BE THERE!! If not, that will go against you, as disclosed in the paperwork we got at the beginning of the year.
Lastly, please cheer on your team. I'm getting really tired of saying it. I'm going to bug everyone who isn't until they do cheer, and if you don't, then we will just have to talk to the coach and let you deal with them. There isn't a "1" in team, not 1 person alone can cheer on somebody, let alone get decent times while they swim. Help out your teammates, even if you don't like them.
