Wednesday: Practice 3-4:15 pm. We will then head over to my house for a pasta party. We will be done by 8:30.

Thursday: Practice 3-4:00 pm. We have a middle school boys meet. During the meet the guys will shave down. At 5:00 it would be nice if some parents could bring in some pasta, etc. for the boys so we can eat before we leave. I would like to be on the road to Oakland by 5:45 or so. We will be heading straight to the hotel and may order some pizza before bed or something like that. I will be taking everyone’s cell phones when we get to the hotel Thursday night and I will return them Saturday after the meet. If there is an emergency and you need to get a hold of your swimmer or diver, feel free to call my cell at 616-886-4303.

Friday: We will leave the hotel early to head to a pool to do a loosen-up swim and then come back for breakfast. We will leave for Oakland at about 9:45. Warm-up starts at 10:00 and the meet starts at 12:00 pm. The swimming should last until about 3 or 3:30pm. The diving will start as soon as the swimming is done. We will head back to the hotel and relax for a bit or watch diving. We will then head out to eat. After dinner, we will hang out at the hotel and watch or movie or something. In rooms by 10:00 and lights out by 11:00.

Saturday: Same drill in the morning. The meet should be done around 3:30 or 4:00 pm. We will probably stop for something to eat on the way home.

While we want the support of parents and fans during our state meet, we would appreciate it if the team could be left alone Thursday night through Saturday at the hotel, etc. We want to give the boys the best chance possible of success and fast swimming. This will help them focus on the task at hand and make
