Overall a good meet. Some great swims. Some so-so. Some not very good. We need to be excited to race at every opportunity. We have a couple of good practices coming up before we take Friday afternoon off for the festivities.
If you are going to watch the powder puff game, please make sure that you have enough to eat after practice and before the game.

Zeeland Meet, Homecoming, Saturday
Our meet tomorrow is at the Zeeland Natatorium at Zeeland West High School on 100th St. north of Riley St. We will be meeting at our pool at 4:45.
Practice on Friday will be 5:20-7:05 a.m. We will be meeting at our float on 48th St. by 3:45 pm. The parade starts at 4:15. We will not be practicing after the parade.
Saturdays practice will be 12-2:00 pm.
We are sitting pretty good on drinks and food for after practices. We should be set through next week. Thank you to everyone who has helped out with the supplies for after our practices.
We are getting in some great practices right now and we'll keep them rolling over the next couple of weeks. Keep up the hard work. Remember to enjoy the process of developing your potential.
As the weather is turning a bit colder it is a good idea to cover your head when your hair is wet.

Wayland Meet, Saturday, SLEEP
Please click the title for results of our meet with Wayland. Good swims for how tired we were. We had some solid practices this week. We had a new state cut by Maddy Kempkers in the 500 Free.
Tomorrows practice is 12-2:00 pm. Use the late practice to sleep in a bit and relax. Eat a good breakfast when you wake up and come ready to roll at noon. We will be doing some start and turn work as well as using some of the toys and gadgets that we have around. It is my understanding that the girls are getting together after practice to work on the float for the homecoming parade directly following practice.
Please make sure that you are using your time wisely and getting plenty of sleep. Especially on the weekends.
Our core covenants sheet is available to sign before and after practices. Once everyone has a chance to sign it I will laminate and post it.
Our meet next Tuesday is at Zeeland West HS Natatorium. A great fast pool and we get to swim against some fast competition. It will be a fun meet.
DON'T STOP BELIEVIN'

Hudsonville Meet Results
Click the title for meet results.
Overall a good meet last night. New state cuts by Liz VandeWege in the 200 IM and 100 Breast along with the medley relay of Hailey Fathman, Maddie Klenk, Liz VandeWege, and Maddy Kempkers and the 200 free relay of Maddie Klenk, Aimee Geurink, Maddy Kempkers, and Brittni Ritter.
I realize that things get tough with three early mornings, schoolwork, tough afternoon workouts, etc. It is very important that you use your time wisely and get plenty of sleep. If you are sick, stay home and sleep it off. It is better to be totally down for a short period of time and get over your sickness than it is to drag it out for a couple of weeks.

Monday Meeting Info
Two home meets this week. I am looking forward to being able to go fast in our own pool. We have some surprises in store for the girls tomorrow. Hudsonville tomorrow and Grand Rapids Christian on Thursday. Doesn't matter who we are swimming against, the goal stays the same...GO FAST and HAVE FUN!
We will have a table set up for the post-meet food on the west end of the pool lobby.
I will be leaving for the MISCA Coaches Clinic right after our meet Thursday night in order to get things set up for the clinic registration taking place Friday morning. Friday morning and afternoon practices will run as normal. Coach Smith will be here to take care of everything.
We are shooting for around 4,000 yards in morning practices. The girls need to make sure that they are eating enough for breakfast in the morning before they head to school. Also pack some snacks and a water bottle to sip throughout the day. It is easy to get dehydrated if you start your day at a big deficit.
We came out with a edited copy of our Core Covenants today. We will decide by Wednesday if we are going to change anything or if it is ready to go. Once we make that determination we will all be signing it and posting it at our pool.
Please make sure that you have snacks and water before each of our meets. It is important to stay fueled and hydrated leading up to our meets and practices. I may sound like a broken record but it is important.
That's all for tonight.
Thanks
