This Week

 
Team Canada 400 Medley Relay Bronze 1992 Barcelona
(l to r:  Tewksbury, Cleveland, Gery, Clarke)
 
Tuesday evening, 3-time Canadian Olympian Jon Cleveland will speak to our BCISD Trustees about aquatic facilities.
 
HS athletes & parents, our meet at Ft. Bend ISD will now include Bush HS as well.  I'll get travel info out on Thursday.
 
JH athletes & parents, our schedule is still in the works!
 
The Southeast Texas Middle School Championships is scheduled for Thursday, January 20th in Rosenberg.  We're working with several Houston-area schools to put together some dual and tri-meets to swim between now and then.

HS athletes & parents, our Saturday trip to Katy is off!

St. John XXIII was to host their invite at the British School, but that building is tied up with an all-day event.  Instead, SJXXIII will travel to us for a dual meet.  Coach Abbott and I are putting together an alternate format, since we'll be swimming a standard dual meet on Thursday evening in Ft. Bend ISD.
 
It doesn't make much sense to do the same thing two days later, right?

We'll have our BCJH athletes join us for Saturday's meet.  Swimmers will be Time Trialing their choice of events in between some high school races.  Mrs. Button will have her divers doing a short list as well.

Updates


Friday

As of yesterday afternoon, the heater was not operational.

If it is still not working by lunchtime today, I will contact schools entered in tomorrow's relay meet and let them know we are unable to host.  If we're able to reschedule - unlikely, since most have already filled their schedules - we'll do that.

If the heater is working, I'll find whatever old tarps are still lying around and use them to cover up the open areas of the pool so we can attempt to get the water warmed up in time to compete Saturday.

This morning, 8th period high school athletics will report to B228.

Our young men will try to close out their season with a win over Stafford this evening.  We are working the visitor side concession stand.  Thanks in advance to everyone who can help out there.

Saturday

If we're able to host our relay meet, we'll have swimmers report at 7:30 a.m. to help with the set-up.

None of our visiting teams will have junior high swimmers, but I will find racing opportunities for our Panthers.  Since our Blue/Gold/Alumni meet didn't happen, this is a great chance to show off!

Warm-up will be at 9:00 and the meet will begin at 10:00.  Expect it to take about 2 hours.

After we hand out team awards, we'll need our athletes to help with putting the facility back in order, then we'll feed them pizza after we wrap that up.
