Items for this week

Welcome to another great week of high school swimming.

MEET TOMORROW - BUS LEAVES at 4:00:
The bus leaves at 4:00 for the quad meet tomorrow at Grandville (this is a change from the 4:15 that is listed on the calendar). The meet will begin at 6:00 pm. This will be scored for us as dual meets between us and Grandville, Forest Hills Central, and Byron Center. Please remember that you should not be using cell phones on the way to the meet, at the meet, or during any portion of the meet. You may use your cell phone to call for a ride 15 minutes before we arrive back at our pool on the way home.

OVERNIGHT CAMPOUT:
Wednesday night to Thursday we will be having our annual overnight campout. If you are interested in helping with food please contact Laree Wanders - phone number is on the list that you all should have now. Everyone needs to bring a sleeping bag and pillow as well as extra clothes you don't mind getting dirty, tennis shoes and socks, and a great attitude. We will use some of this time to go over our goal setting for the season - both dual meets and championship meets, and we will establish our Core Covenants for the year. We will head out after practice Wednesday afternoon and we will return to the pool Thursday morning before practice. Be ready to go for the overnight by the start of afternoon practice on Wednesday and we will be done with practice on Thursday by 12:30 pm.

PARENT T-SHIRTS:
An order for parent t-shirts is in my office. If you are interested, please have your daughter put you down for the size that you would like. Cost will be around $9 per shirt. I will also bring this along to the Grandville meet tomorrow night. Orders need to be in by this week Thursday, September 2. You can also email me the sizes that you would like to coach_talsma@hotmail.com .

TEAM PICTURES:
We will be taking our team pictures on Wednesday, September 8 (yes the first day of school) right after school. We will be wearing our team suits for the pictures. I will have picture order forms by Thursday at the latest.

Thank you to those that have donated food and drink for after practices. It really makes a difference for our girls.

I am really looking forward to a great swim meet tomorrow night.
Thanks
