Things Discussed in the Meeting Last Night

Yesterday afternoon, we had a meeting as you all should know by now, and we went over quite a bit of stuff, I will list all that we discussed in the following paragraphs;

First off, the practice schedule will be as follows:

• On A Days, practice will be from 1:15-4:00, all Freshman are required to come and be in the water by 3:15. Hussle out of school Freshman, otherwise you'll be late!
• On B Days, practice will be from 2:45-5:00, all Freshman are required to come and be in the water by 3:15.
• Morning Practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and that's from 5:00-6:30.
• Remember, there will be penalties if you are late! My suggestion would be to contact coach if you think you are going to be late.

If you are late or don't tell the coach why you are absent from practice, and we're 5 days away from a meet, you will not be able to participate in a meet. You will still be expected to be at the meet and help time or do other things.

 The lettering requirements are a little different than they were last year, and they are listed below:

1. You must attend and be on time to 90% of the practices. You must also be on time at all home meets either swimming or helping and at away meets as assigned.
2. You must earn points at Regions by placing in the top 16 finishers in at least one event.
3. You must be recommended by the coaches. Some of the things that will be taken into consideratino iwll be your contribution to team spirit, enthusiasm, willngness to work and improvement of your times/scores over the season. Failure to be reccommended by the coaches will result in loss of letter even if items 1 and 2 are met. Coach's recommendation can orride items 1 and 2 in exceptional cases.
4. Qualifying for state will usually ensure lettering within the provisions of point 3 above.

We also had a lot of forms handed out to us, which are available to you at the top of this website under the forms tab. You need to have one of each of the forms listed (unless otherwise posted.) and turn them into coach ASAP!

We will also need you to get your swim team fee paid to the office and bring the receipt to coach ASAP!

Also, as previously posted, we will be having a carnival fundraiser. This means we need help with getting the supplies. See the captains for a list of items and let them know which one(s) you can bring. Remember, there is no way this fundraiser will work without the help of ALL our team. Sure you don't have to be there, but at least help get set up or get supplies. Also remember that all the proceeds go the team for our suits!

Just like last year, we'll be doing the Boonanza again. That is sometime in the last week of October, I will get an official date and let you know when it is for sure. If you can help with that, that will be a ton of fun. The Boonanza is like a carnival held at the pool (Clearfeild Aquatic Center) in which families dress up in their costumes and you can go around and play games. We will have a couple booths set up, so we'll need all the help we can get with that. Remember, some of the proceeds will go the team towards our suits!

Our Assistant Coach Michael will be doing Dryland activities at 2:45 at the school. If you want to do that, it's a great way to get to know the team and to get back in shape. If you're interested in doing that, meet us by the football gates by the football field. This will end next Friday, September 16th.
