I ever had in any of my successes.

June Update



Summer Training

Glory V. is running the Aquacat Advanced Group practices Tuesday & Thursday evenings from 5 to 7.  Several of our Blackcats/Panthers are putting in the work.  Join them!
 
sportsYou

Everyone (athletes & parents/guardians) should move to the new sportYou for the upcoming 2022-23 school year.  Reminder is on the bulletin board.  Please spread the word!

Access Code for both BCHS & BCJH swimmers/divers:

MHN4-MWSN

Point System

We're doing a point system this time around, so please keep track of the days you put in.  If you helped with storing equipment, peer coaching a clinic, pool work days, restringing lane ropes, etc. - write it down.  If you swim in one of our camps/clinics, those count as well.  Once school starts, I'll have more details.

Camps/Clinics

We hope to run a small "open" camp in late July or early August.  We'll need experienced helpers!

We may also have a preseason mini-camp for both high school and junior high at the start of school.

Meet Schedules Preview

Schedules are shaping up.  We're scheduled to host a joint practice/time trial session on Wednesday, September 28.  We've invited several area schools to join us.  Since it's what you might call a "scrimmage", it won't count as a meet but we will be able to get some early season times into the computer.
