Conference Week Info and beyond
Here is the rundown for the conference meet and the week leading up to it.
Athletes tapering for the conference will be having shorter and shorter practices over the next week and a half to allow for extra rest and recovery. Please use your extra time wisely. Everyone needs to stay on top of homework and sleep during this period. These are the final weeks of the season and we want to keep everyone healthy and keep the stress level as low as possible.
Conference Meet host: Byron Center
Here is the run down for the meet.
Thursday, 2/25:
DIVING Prelims: Divers will leave immediately after school from the high school. Warm-ups start at 3:00 pm and the diving starts at 5:00 pm.
Swimmers shaving for the conference meet will have about a 60 minute practice and then will be given time to shave down. State taper will practice until about 5:00. We will then head to the Voorhorst's for a pasta party. We will have things wrapped up by 7:30 unless the guys want to watch a movie, etc.
Friday, 2/26:
Divers will have normal practice.
SWIMMING Prelims: Swimmers will be leaving directly from the high school right after school. Our bus will be the last in the line. Warm-ups start at 3:00 pm and the meet starts at 5:00 pm. The meet will hopefully be done around 7:00 or 7:30 pm. We will have transportation home from the meet on Friday.
Parking - On Friday night BC is hosting home basketball games. Parking should not be an issue as the meet starts well before the basketball games...but if the parking lot by the pool is full, there will be parking available in front of the school.
Saturday, 2/27:
Our pool will be available for a wake-up swim from 8:30-9:00 am. Those that would like to will head to breakfast. We will leave our pool for Byron Center at 10:45 am. Warm-up starts at 11:00 am and the meet starts at 1:00 pm. We will not have transportation home from the meet on Saturday.
SECOND SHAVE MEET (Tuesday, March 2): The second shave meet will be at Holland Aquatic Center on Tuesday, March 2 starting at 6:00 pm. We have a home middle school meet that day. I would like everyone to attend the second shave meet to get a practice in and swim a couple of events. It will be a great opportunity to get some last races in before the state meet and if needed to make a new state cut. We will meet at the Aquatic Center at 5:30 pm and we should be done by 7:00 or so.
DIVING REGIONALS (Tuesday, March 9): Diving regionals are at East Grand Rapids HS. We also have a home middle school meet that day. Swimmers will practice 2:50-4:00 pm. Regionals start at 5:00 pm and I would encourage all swimmers that can make it to go and support our divers. Divers will be leaving from the HS at a time TBD.
Wednesday, March 10 we will have a pasta party somewhere. We'll figure the details out later.
Thursday, March 11 we will have a short practice at our pool and then head out to our hotel. We will either eat here before we leave, eat on the way, or eat when we get there. I will have a more definite timeline for the state meet as we get closer.
Friday and Saturday, March 12 and 13 is the state meet at Eastern Michigan University. We will be doing wake up swims at a pool TBD on both days. Prelims and finals start at 12:00 pm on both days. Get there early to make sure that you get a seat.

I will be posting more info as it comes.

This Week and Next
The bus is leaving today at 4:35 pm. Hopefully the weather holds out and we can get the meet in tonight. If it doesn't happen tonight we will reschedule the meet for either this Thursday or next Thursday. If the meet does not happen tonight we hope to have practice from 3-5:30.
For tomorrow, I will be here in the morning for morning practice if you are comfortable driving in. Normal practice after school. If school happens to be cancelled, we will plan on a 12:30-3:00 pm practice if we can. I will post here if we are unable to practice by 12:00 pm.
Below is the list of swimmers that will be heading to the MISCA Meet on Saturday:
Joey DeGood, Stephen Durham, Austin Fathman, Dylan Harris, John Anthony LaPorta, Zach Lepird, Brad Melpolder, and Andrew Smit. We will be leaving at 7:45 am. Make sure you eat a good breakfast before we leave and bring snacks and drinks along for the day. We will stop for something to eat on the way home so you will need some money (nothing fancy, $10 should do). MISCA T-shirts will be on sale for $12 at the meet. We should return around 7:00 pm.
Next week Tuesday night at our home meet against Holland Christian we will be having our Parent Night. Each swimmer and diver will come home with a note today with two free passes for the meet. We will be starting the Parent Night at 6:25 pm. Parents need to be lined up down the hall on the west end of the pool in alphabetical order by school year of their swimmer or diver by 6:20 pm.
Our conference meet is two weeks from this Friday and Saturday and our state meet is four weeks from this Friday and Saturday. Please stay diligent taking care of yourself outside of the pool. Those that do not have a state cut yet will start their taper on Monday. Those with a state cut will start their taper the Monday after the conference meet. It is critically important to make sure that you are getting enough sleep and eating appropriately during this time period.
Be sure to check a couple of posts down for state hotel info.
It's going to be a fun end of the season!

Great Job!!!
The B Meet went very well on Saturday. Our swimmers and divers did a great job. The kids that were here to participate in the meet had a good time and the meet ran efficiently. I received a lot of compliments about how great our varsity swimmers and divers are. Great job and thank you to everyone that was able to help out.

Items for this week and next
We're in to February and soon it will be March. Great things are happening everyday in practices and we are starting to really put it together. It will be a great next six weeks.
I will be getting the fastskin order in tomorrow by 3:00 pm. If you would like a fastskin but didn't order one today, email or call me to gaurantee yours. You don't have to pay until they come in. It sounds like the FSPro's are hard to come by right now but should be delivered by the state meet. The FSII's are available in every size but they are different colors. I just need to see what I can get a hold of. The new LZR Elite's are what I have on hold right now and I will order them tomorrow based on what we need.
A big night tomorrow night. Hamilton seems to be buzzing about the dinner tomorrow night. Hopefully there is a great turnout. It should be a fun night.
Saturday we are hosting the WMSL "B" Conference Meet at our pool. This is the lone fundrasier that we do for the varsity program. The varsity program gets $1,000 for taking care of this. This money helps offset some of the cost of warm-ups, suits, food, etc. We need all hands on deck to help run this meet. Swimmers and divers need to report to the pool by 7:30 am and we should be done by about 12:30 pm. The guys will have a short practice after the meet and will be done at 2:00 pm.
Next week Saturday is the MISCA Meet at Eastern Michigan. We will be going for the day, leaving around 7:45 and returning around 7:30 or so depending on what we do for lunch/dinner. I have a preliminary list of those that are qualified at the pool. Anyone qualified in an individual event is expected to attend. Others may be asked to join us for relay swims. I will have the list finalized by next Monday. The guys will need to have snacks, drinks and money for lunch/dinner.
That should be it for tonight.
Thanks
