Dang, I've been slacking when it comes to keeping this blog updated! Well, just to let everybody know that this site is still alive, I will repeat what I've been telling everybody else these past few days. I have not recently talked to Coach Nate and so as far as I know everything is still in the same standing as it previously was. So, here's a list of things that I've been asked a lot:
Question: Fourth Period Conditioning?
Answer: Coach once stated that he did want to do Fourth Period, however, I don't even know if there will be such thing as "Fourth Period Conditioning." With the schedules and such still in a constant state of change, it could have been moved to a different period, like sixth, for example. So whether or not we will be doing Fourth Period is beyond me. I will be sure to notify you all by Facebook and Blog when I confirm the existence of such a thing, or if we will be doing some other form of practice.
Question: What about Captains?
Answer: Still no word on those either. Natalie P. is for sure a Captain, as for the other(s), I cannot give names as they have yet to be decided upon. I'm simply the social media manager, so I don't know the full scoop on that.
Question: Who are the Assistant Coaches?
Answer: The last I heard about the Assistant Coaches was clear back in March-ish, so this could be vastly different than what I'm telling you, but what I was told by our paperwork coach, Coach Nielson that we would have a lady in from The U who would be an assistant coach. Mind you, this was a while back, and so tons of things could have changed between now and then.
As far as the questions go, that's the 2 things I've been asked about a lot. I'm getting ready to send Coach an e-mail about all the details of the upcoming year, and if I can get anything new out of it, I will be sure to post it up here. Hang in there guys! The 2012-2013 season is coming fast!
If you have a question, feel free to email me (use this link) and I will be sure to answer it in the post I plan on creating next week.

Captains, Practices, and more!
Hey all you Titans/Future Titans!
I just got done talking to Coach Nate about various things about the upcoming season. The topics discussed were Fourth Period Swim, and Captains. So I'll share what I know.
First off, if you haven't already gone into the fourth period conditioning class, you need to do so. Nate says that if it's available we are going to be doing it. And then I brought up another question. Those that took fourth period knew how brutal fourth period was in addition to having ANOTHER practice after fourth period, so would we be doing that for the fourth perioders or would they have to stay after. The answer is you do have to stay after.
Secondly, I asked him who the captains were. He said he'd let me know when he remembered. He said the only captain he could remember is Natalie P. So congratulations to her!
If any of you guys have questions, please feel free to email me or post something to the Facebook wall, I'd be more than happy to ask Nate all your questions and post the answers up here. You can email me at techienerd01@gmail.com.

Newsflash!
Well, rumors are going around about the coaching status, let me clarify those rumors for you.
First off, we are sad to see Ted Harris go. He was a great coach and will be missed greatly. So if you heard that he quit, that rumor would be TRUE!
Stepping into his shoes will be Nathan Whitaker, our assistant coach from the 2011-2012 season. He won't totally be the head coach, so let me explain. Last year some of the paperwork that the school needed was failed to turn in probably because information that needed to be passed on to Coach Ted wasn't passed along like it should have been. He isn't to blame since he didn't really have that big of a connection to the school. So we will have TWO head coaches! Officer Nielson will be leaving the school next year, it's true, but he will be in charge of all the necessary paperwork and turning it into the office and Coach Nate will be the coach that will be on deck.
Also coming to the team is a new Assistant Coach. Her name I have not obtained yet, but I know she's from the U so she's probably going to be quite the coach. We will have to see if she makes it or not, but we'd like to welcome her to the team.
I'd like to extend an invitation to all the team and all those who want to learn to swim as well, another member on the team and myself are currently attending Master's Class (lap swimming. It really isn't a class, but more of an opportunity to get some laps in) and we'd like to see more of the team come! If you'd like to come and join us, it's at the Clearfield Aquatic Center every Tuesday and Thursday night and begins at 9:00 and ends at 10:30 (we only go until 10:00), and the cost is general admission ($3 if you are anything below 18, $5 if you are 18). Please join us!
This upcoming season is already shaping out to be even better than the last! Just remember to keep recruiting those swim team members so that we can get a bigger team, which will aid in helping us win more meets. It doesn't matter if you know what you are doing or not! If you don't even have a clue what freestyle (the most used stroke) is, or if you are a pro at swimming in general, we'll teach you all the things you need to know about the most fun sport called swimming.

Information About State
Just so that you guys know, we have some people going to state, and that is a very big meet, because it is STATE. All the people that made it there have worked very hard to get to where they are at, so it would be great if all of you came up and supported them! Here's the information that you will need to get in:
- State will be held at BYU this year, so it will be in their swimming pool.
- The meet is two days long (Feb. 10 and 11), so is what we did last year is rented out some hotel rooms and split the costs up among those who were sharing a room just so that you didn't have to drive there and back twice, and it's fun to be with your team in the wee hours of the morning.
- On day 1 of the meet (Friday, Feb. 10), you won't have to miss any school from what I'm aware of. Warm-Ups will start at 4:00 PM, and the meet will begin at 5:00 PM. On day 2, (Saturday, Feb. 11) Warm-Ups will start at 11:00 AM and the meet will begin at 12:00 PM.
- There is a cost for spectating. If you are an Adult, then the cost to get in (per day) will be $6.00. If you are a Student (watching your teammates. Bring your Student ID just in case) then the cost will be $4.00. Please do remember that seating is limited, so you should arrive early because there aren't that many seats. If they do sell out, then you will get to watch on live video and you will also get a number. If any seats become available then your number will be called and you can sit in the seat that became available.

Last week of the season (for some)
Hey Titans
I'm sad to say that this week will be the last week of the season for a good portion of our team. We have Regionals this Friday, and we didn't really taper at all. So, if you want to do really well, start cramming in on that tapering stuff even though that's almost IMPOSSIBLE to do. Focus on giving it your all in practice, and being as lazy as possible outside of practice. Also remember that what you put IN your body, is what you will get OUT of it. So eating healthy this week should be a top priority.
Since it's the end of regionals, I have a request for all of you. See if you can't get more people to join the team for next season. Remember, the more people we have, the easier it will be to win over other people. Even if they don't have any previous swimming experience, we can teach them. There is no try outs for swimming, we only ask that you work hard. Another request I will give to each of you, is that you have taken ANY pictures of people in the swim team that is semi relevant to the team, send them to one of our captains so we can include it into the swim banquet video.
The swim banquet, for those that don't know, is pretty much like a last chance to be together with your team. We eat a meal, and give out awards, including your letter if you lettered. We watch a movie with pictures and videos of the past season in it. That is something you definitely don't want to miss out on. I'll give you more details to that when they become available.
The Regions pasta party will be at my house this year (Alyssa's, if you didn't know who I was.). I will give out the invitations and address Thursday in practice. It starts at 6 like usual, so just come over and have some fun at the last pasta party of the year! We do some different things in this pasta party, such as a shaving party, spray paint T-Shirts, last year we gave out gag gifts, but I don't know if we'll be doing that this year or not. So there are a couple of things you'll need to bring. If you'd like to participate in the Shaving Party, you'll need to bring your own razor and shaving cream. If you'd like to make a Spray Paint T-Shirt, the only things you'll need to bring is your t-shirt (or whatever it is you want to spray paint), and a template if you want one. I'll have one of a titan sword, but that's all I'll have.
Well, that's all I have at this point, so I hope to see all of you Juniors, Sophmores, and Freshmen next year, and I hope to see many new faces! It has been a great year, and remember to ALWAYS keep swimming!

This Week
Hey Titans!
I hope you all had a fantastic break and that you swam! Just a heads up we do have a home meet this Thursday against Northridge, so please do remember to swim the entire set that the coaches give to us and don't skip out on any laps, because that will hurt us as a team as well as your times. Let's give it our all in practice so we can get back in shape to be ready for this meet so we can CRUSH Northridge. Anyways, good luck to all on the meet and I hope you all can break your personal records!

Christmas Break!
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!
