Varsity Boys Info

Our first morning practice this morning. We had 12 guys here which is a pretty good turnout. If you can be disciplined with your time and get enough sleep, you should be here for morning workouts.

A reminder that we have practice 5-7:30 pm tomorrow. If you have your homework done after school, feel free to come help with the meet. Otherwise we are in the water at 5:00 pm. The front bathroom will be open to change in. If you left your stuff in your locker, get to the pool right after school to get it out.

Pictures are Wednesday at 5:30 pm. I will have picture order forms for you all tomorrow. We are wearing gold t-shirts, warm-up jackets, khaki pants, and no tennis shoes.

Thursday we are leaving at 4:20 pm for Otsego. Warm-up is at 5:00 and the meet starts at 6:00.

Practice for this Saturday will be 10 am - 12 pm.

West Michigan Relays: We will be leaving our pool at 8:45 am for the Holland Aquatic Center. Warm-up starts at 9:00 am and the meet starts at 11:00 am.

The boys should have brought home a packet of information from the Zeeland Invite (Tuesday, December 29) about what their program is doing this year. The goal is to raise $10,000 for the VanAndel Institute through the meet. They are selling purple t-shirts and caps for the swimmers for $10. T-shirt orders are due by this Thursday. I would like to see all of our swimmers and divers participate by getting a purple t-shirt and by getting someone (or multiple people) to sponsor them for $25 for the meet. If any swimmer or diver can not afford the t-shirt, I will get you one. Anyone else that is interested in buying a t-shirt, sponsoring a swimmer, lane, diving board, event, or the entire meet can see the details in the packet. During the meet they will be doing some fundraising activities as well. Anyone else that would like to contribute or would like a t-shirt, please contact me.

Our new quote today is:

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a HABIT.

Great words to consider when we are getting ready for meets. It's not all about what we do in a meet. If you don't prepare yourself daily for swimming your fastest, you shouldn't expect to swim your fastest when it counts.

Have a great rest of the week and have fun preparing to go fast!
