Weekly Monday Meeting Notes

I am trying something new in an effort to get more of our swimmers and divers aware of and using our website. I am not sending home a full note home today but rather only a reminder that the website is here and this weeks info is posted here.

What a fun time we had on Saturday. Not eveyone swam or dove their best but it is always a great experience to go to a large, fast meet like the West Michigan Relays if only for experience sake.

Our meets this week will be against Allegan on Tuesday (South Haven will not be coming up for the meet) and West Ottawa on Thursday. Again, a study in contrast much like last week. This brings up the opportunity to discover that we can swim fast and dive well regardless of our competition.

We will have our first Saturday practice this coming Saturday from 12:30-2:30 pm. This is a great time for us to work on some of the things that get neglected throughout the week, especially when it is a two meet week like this one.

Morning practices start next week Monday. We will be going Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 5:45-7:00 am. These practices are not required but swimmers are encouraged to be there if they are getting enough sleep and are keeping up with all things outside of the pool. If you start coming to mornings you are allowed two misses. On the third miss you will not be welcome back to morning practices barring misses due to sickness.

If you are borrowing a team set of warm-ups I want to remind you that they are for meets and special team functions only and are not to be worn at any other time.

If you haven't already done so, take some time to look around the website, look at the meet results that are posted, and leave a comment or two. The more the site gets used the better.

Hope everyone has a great week,
T
