So, as most of you know, we have only 3 days of practice this week and eight days off for Christmas Break! You know what that means? Many of us are going to gain time at our next meet if we don't practice or do some sort of physical activity. I would highly suggest going to the pool on your own time, and if we do end up having optional practices, go to those! They will help you so much over the break, so let's convince our coaches to do those optional practices, especially since we'll have a meet three days after we get back!
I'd also like to say good job to everybody! We've been doing so much better at our meets and we've had quite a few records broken, so congrats to all of you who broke school records, let's keep it up! And for the rest of you, I've noticed quite a bit of time dropping, Continue to keep up the good work guys!
We do have our Swim Team Christmas party coming up! It's at Amanda E.'s house on Tuesday. Please remember to bring a white elephant gift that is under $5. It will be a ton of fun so I hope to see all of you there.
There really isn't much else to say, so keep up the good work and let's strive to get more P.R.'s (Personal Records) because we're just amazing like that!

District Championships+Other meets!
Hey guys! So I'd just like to start off by congratulating the Girls 4x100 A Team Relay (Which consisted of Hiedi C., Amanda E., Natalie P., and Mindy D.) for breaking the school record on Tuesday! Amazing job to you girls! Also, I'd like to congratulate Chelsea F. for just about breaking the school record for the 100 Breast Stroke! She's half a second away, so let's wish them all best of luck in surpassing their goals!
So the meet yesterday was cancelled due to the fact that no buses or semis were being let on the freeway. This in some ways is a very good thing, but not in others. This means we had some downtime in preparation for the meet this Saturday which is very important. Speaking of, WE WILL HAVE PRACTICE TODAY AT 2:45!! So come please!
Let me explain District Championships first for all you people new to the team. District Championships is probably the third most important meet out of all the meets, the first two being State and Regions. Districts will be a very long meet, and because of that, I would strongly suggest that we get people to bring food for the ENTIRE team. I know that some are bring food for themselves, but it's always nice when everyone has something to eat. I would suggest bringing Granola Bars, some type of Fruit or Veggie, and maybe something to drink.
Please do your very best at Districts and do all the starts you possibly can! The blocks you are familiar with are not the same at all at Layton's pool. You are pretty much jumping off of a wall. Also be sure to practice them in the farthest lanes, particularly the one with only 4 feet of water. That lane sucks, so I would strongly suggest doing starts in it.
Lastly, please cheer on your team this meet. These times will go towards state, so it is very important for us all to do well. Go to the pasta party tonight as well! It's at Hiedi's house, and if you need her address, go to practice and you'll get it there.
The bus will be leaving at 6:30 AM!! Be up bright and early, ready to swim! Make the bus on time, otherwise, we WILL leave you! Good luck Titans! Swim like you mean it!
