UPDATED MEET LOCATION Our Meet this Thursday, Friday plans, and FOOD
Our meet this Thursday will be at the Washington Street Elementary (which used to be the middle>> school). 538 Washington St., Otsego, MI 49078. We are going to assume a 6:00 start time. We are not 100% sure of that and hope to know by tomorrow for sure (we're waiting to hear back from Otsego). With the 6:00 start time we will be leaving from our pool at 4:30 pm. We should be back to our pool at about 8:30 pm. I will let you know as soon as I know if the start time is 6:30 instead.
Kali Zwiers has a sign up sheet for food items for Friday afternoon and evening and Saturday morning. The girls should let you know if they have signed up for something. It should be a fun time. Full info is available in the post below this.
We started with our food and drinks after practices today. We are quickly going through the food and drinks that we have. The chocolate milk and Sunny D are a big hit. We have enough drinks to get us through this week and enough food to get us through next week. Feel free to drop off any food or drink for the girls anytime the pool is open.
Check out the $22 practice suit special from Different Strokes Swim Shop two posts below this. It is available through September 1.

Food Request, parent meeting, updates
Two practices are in the books. We have been having fun getting to know each other a little bit and working hard at getting in shape. Our first meet is already two weeks from tonight. I am looking forward to seeing how things take shape. Coach Smith, Coach DeRoos and I see a lot of potential within our team. The work has begun at reaching that potential.
I would like to continue with our after practice snacks and drinks like we did last year by Monday, the 24th. I have room in the fridge for drinks and plenty of room for snack storage in the office so feel free to bring them in at any time.
DRINKS
We are looking for drinks with a fairly high sugar content and maybe some protien. Ideal drinks would be chocolate milk, capri sun, juice boxes, apple juice, etc. Don't worry if they are not individual servings...pouring into cups is not a big deal and much more cost effective.
SNACKS
Snacks with carbs, a little fat, and a little protien are great. Snacks such as crackers with cheese or peanut butter, granola bars, and cereal bars all work well.
PARENT MEETING
Our parent meeting will be at 5:30 pm on Monday, August 17 in the pool stands. We will be going over the handbook that everyone got on Wednesday so please bring that along. Suit, t-shirt, and warm-up orders will be due at the end of the meeting. I will have a fit kit for the girls to try on suit sizes at the Monday afternoon practice. This meeting is also a great opportunity for everyone to meet.
Next week we'll be practicing mornings at Bouws' Pool on 16th St. by the Holland Municpal Stadium. The girls are discussing carpooling and we'll try to have it nailed down by the end of practice tomorrow. We will be in the water 7:00-9:00 and then be doing dryland until 9:45. We will be making use of the Municipal Stadium for some of our dryland. The girls need to have shorts, good shoes, and anything else that they need to be comfortable for dryland.
Afternoons next week will be at our pool from 3-5:00.
A reminder that the start time for practices is when the girls are getting in the water.
We have had a parent step up to take care of setting up meals for after home swim meets and a parent has stepped up to take care of parent t-shirts. If there is anyone that is willing to set up breakfasts for after morning practices let me know.
I am looking forward to a great season!
