We are well under way for our season and I just have a couple quick reminder notes.
Tomorrow and Friday we are practicing from 10 to noon. I would really like as many girls there as possible because we will have the entire pool and I hope to work on turns!
Also, next week Tuesday there is a winter parent meeting with Mr. Gelmi and myself. It starts at 6:00 in the gym.
And I know its hard to believe, but we already have our first meet in about a week. So, practices are crucial right now. We have a lot to still work on. We are off to a good start though and I am sure it will be a great season ; )

Meet tonight with Zeeland, Post-Conference Meet Gathering, HC meet results, and OK Green Conference Info
As of right now the meet is still a go for tonight. The only way that it will be cancelled is if they extend the tornado watch to within two hours of the start time of the meet. Same timeframe with 5:10 on deck, 5:20 in the water and lined up for parent night by 6:20. If things change I will update here.
I sent home a sign-up sheet from Todd Ritter about the gathering that will take place after the Conference Meet next Saturday. We would like to have those returned by tomorrow, October 27th at the end of practice. If you haven't seen one from your swimmer or diver, please ask them to get one, see me tonight for a copy, or get one HERE.
I also noticed that I never posted the HC meet results. They are HERE.
Also the OK Green Conference info is posted HERE. This info includes all facility information for Byron Center including start times, parking info, etc.
Be sure to check the post below if you haven't already for information from our Monday meeting.
Thanks

Items for the week
We have Parent Night tomorrow with our last dual meet against Zeeland. I ask that the parents be lined up and ready to go by 6:20. We will be lining up alphabetically by grade level down the hallway on the west end of the pool stands. Girls need to be on deck by 5:10 and in the water by 5:20.
Thursday and Fridays practices will be 12-2:00 pm for conference taper girls and 12-3:00 pm for state taper girls. Saturdays practice will be 12-2:00 pm for everyone. I would like to use these days as an opportunity for the girls to practice getting up on time (by 9:30 am), eating a good breakfast, having a snack around 11 am, and getting ready to swim fast at noon.
The girls that are tapering for the conference meet have started their reduction in training volume. They are keeping a very tight focus on the specifics of racing that they need to nail down in the meets coming up. We will be working very hard on our starts, turns, underwaters, break-outs, race strategy, and race pacing over the next two weeks.
I will update with the conference meet info tomorrow or Wednesday.
I am excited for a fun end of the season. We are swimming really well and will continue to get faster down the stretch.
Thanks
