Our "Highly Recommended, but Optional Practices"

So, I'm sure you guys saw the post about how the season start date has been delayed, and so we want to do some practices before the season actually starts to be better prepared for the season. These preseason practices have been dubbed the name "Highly Recommended, but Optional Practices." We'll make it abbreviated to HROP. That's easier to type.

Anywho, HROP practices are still being discussed on when they should be held. It all depends on how many of you sign up, and how cooperative the pool is willing to be. If we can get enough people, I'm thinking they may let us do it right after school, but that's only if we get the entire team doing it.

The plan for the practices is pretty simple. We won't be doing a whole lot, but if you are new, I would HIGHLY suggest you come. We intend on working on our stroke, flip-turn and open-turns, and starts. Again, don't get too freaked out if you don't know what those terms mean, we will teach you everything. And since everyone is going to be working on something, it would be a perfect opportunity to get a jump-start on your learning.

All the above being said if you want to come, you can sign up at that meeting after school Thursday. I'll have sign up sheets ready for you. Please DO NOT sign up for them if you aren't going to show up. If you're signing up just to, I don't know, get good tabs with Coach, don't. It will get you horrible tabs. It will also mess with the time that we can go to the pool, and if we can get change. Only sign up if you WILL show up. (If you have to miss a few practices, don't worry about it. If you miss a ton, I'll spam your phone. :) )
