Tigershark Swimmers and Parents,
This new blog is a great opportunity for us to share information and celebrate successes during this season. My plan is to update this with details about weekly fun days, first places, team records, meet results, schedule updates, etc. during the season.
First, as weather has already proved to be an issue twice this season, please note that our weather policy is to call the pool. When you hear Jeff Peterson's message, please press 1 and you will hear our swim team updates. Jon and I will also try to get an email out to parents in the event that practice is cancelled.
Second, things are off to a great start. We look forward to seeing our successes at the first meet! Everyone has learned so much already and strokes are looking really strong. Keep up the hard work and it will continue to pay off.
This Saturday, June 9, we will have our first clinic at the pool. We will review Freestyle, as many of us will be swimming that this weekend, or at some point during the season. Starts, turns, finishes, and stroke will all be reviewed during this hour long clinic. The Mites and Midgets will meet at 8am and the Juniors, Intermediates, and Seniors will meet at 9am.
Following the clinic, we are hoping to have a short pre-meet FUN DAY! We will have music, some games, and a celebration prior to our Sunday met.
For the meet this weekend, please plan to be on deck at 8:15 so we can begin warmups promptly. Fox Hall has a much shallower diving area than our generous 12-foot well, so we need everyone to have a chance on the blocks. For this and future meets, please fill out an absence form (at the top right of this page) so the coaches can enter swimmers appropriately in their events.
Lastly, the calendar for the week will be posted on this page, and changes will be posted as well. I will usually try to update around the same time. If you fill in your email address in the box to the right, you can receive an update when something new is posted. Thanks!
Philip
