Quote of the Week

 

Consistency - The great athlete is consistent;

the lows are not too low, and the highs are

not too high.  They operate on an even keel.

 

In other words, you know what you are going

to get when they show up every day.

 

The spectacular comes from the consistency

in training and competition.

Thanks to all who contributed to our meet concessions.  Special thanks to Ashton R and Mrs. Flores for operating it!

Thanks to the concession stands and the relay meet entry checks, our activity fund balance is excellent.  We should be able to fund our January travel trip without any problem.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Travel info for Friday's meet is ready, so athletes should pick up a copy at the pool.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We finished 7th in our meet Saturday on only four (4) swims.  We didn't have much in the line of "quantity", but had plenty of "quality".  Jomar B, Lucie F, Victoria S, and Genaro F combined for:

• 1st - Mixed 500 yard Freestyle Crescendo
• 1st - Mixed 400 yard Freestyle
• 2nd - Mixed 200 yard Medley
• 2nd - Mixed 200 yard Freestyle

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since cooler weather is forecast for early next week, we should put on tarps after Saturday morning's practice.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Aquacats are hosting a meet Friday.  Next week we'll take over the breezeway and get all our dry-land equipment set up.

Reminders

 

There was PLENTY of IMPORTANT info on a past last week.  Review it here

 

Please contact Kim Sliva ASAP so we can add to our concession stand work schedule:

 

Also, please drop off your case of water to the pool by Thursday.

 

We'll need several crock pots for nacho cheese.  Lisa Moya suggests using liners to make clean-up easier.

In case we don't sell out of all items Friday, we'll use those for our October 21 Bay City Relays concession stand.
