I ran into Mrs. Bell yesterday at the H.E.B. She's recovering from her surgery and was very, very pleased to hear that our team is growing and improving.
Entries for the Lamar CISD Invite are due by noon on Monday. To make that deadline, I'll need to put them together today.

If you have one (1) individual event you'd really like to swim, let me know ASAP.
Also let me know ASAP if you're unable to attend. We'll need to send out a correction to the swim/dive release.

Friday Plan?
Forgot to discuss that today between dry-land and swim.
Here's an idear:
If I can shoot some underwater video Wednesday and/or Thursday, let's stay on campus for 8th period Friday and watch in B228.
Veterans told me how to make video play better on computer last year. You'll have to remind me Friday.
After pep rally, you can get to the pool either in your personal vehicles or on the bus, a.k.a. Lucky 13.
Plunge for Distance
The Plunge for Distance was an Olympic event in 1904. More here

Strong leg drives and arm swings, plus clean entries and great streamlines resulted in some excellent distances today. Faith V (in another group) was the distance champ.

This Week
First, some good news. The City of Bay City pool now has an operational diving board!
This week, divers will work on front and back approaches/take-offs and front, back, & twisting dives. We're working toward having a six-dive list in time for the Brazosport dual on October 24.
Since we weren't able to practice Friday, please get your card money to me Tuesday. If, for some reason, you weren't able to sell them all, I'll need unsold cards returned.
Please be ready to swim/dive by 3:30 each day this week so practices do not run long. Be prepared daily and have a back-up plan for yourselves and teammates if something (forgot goggles, tore cap, etc.) comes up.
