Relay Meet Week

Splash-n-Dash Winners Victoria S & Genaro F

We had some excellent performances in Friday's Time Trials/Splash-n-Dash.

Let's build on those swims and keep training CONSISTENTLY!

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

This Saturday we're hosting our annual Bay City Relays.

Schools that have committed to swim are:

Bay City

Brazosport

Columbia

Lamar Consolidated

Randle

Saint John XXIII

Sweeny

Terry

We're operating a concession stand.

We have enough water. I went to HEB for pickles, Ziplocs, nacho cheese, jalapenos, napkins, and foam bowls today.

In addition to helpers, we're going to need:

Powerade

Soda

Nacho Chips

Crock Pots & Liners

Paper Towels

Chili (?)

Other (?)

I will take care of ice, coolers, and change for the money box.

Kim Sliva went above and beyond in heading up our El Campo football game concession stand.

Can we get another parent volunteer to step in and take charge of the BC Relay meet concessions?

Summer Update

Work Day

Special thanks to Megan, Victoria, Jomar, and Mrs. Button for a great work day last week. They did an outstanding job of straightening up the place and storing our "stuff" for the summer.

Optional HS Training Group

This will be captain-driven, so follow their lead. I'll send them workout suggestions and they can share those w/y'all. This is a captain-led optional group. For safety, I will open up if they want to host an early group. If they want to swim when I'm unable to be there, an Aquacat practice time with a lifeguard on duty is your alternative. If they're not available to lead a group, everything that follows this paragraph is null and void!

When I'm able to open early, we'll splash at 7:00 a.m. That means athletes arrive by 6:45 a.m., ya dig?

When I'm unavailable, Aquacats start at 8:30 a.m. That means athletes arrive by 8:15 a.m., understood?

If captains are running workouts this week they'll have as many as four (4) options. I can open on Tuesday and Wednesday and y'all can grab a lane or two from the Aquacats on Thursday and Friday.

For the week of June 12, all four (4) options would have to be Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday with Aquacats.

Let's see how the next two (2) weeks go before we plan too far ahead.

Morning Swims

This week I plan to open for optional early morning swims (Tuesday through Friday) for any high school swimmers who want to get a head start on their summer workouts. Plan to splash at 7 - which means arrive by 6:45 - to get in an hour and a half before the Aquacats start their practice.

Captains will have some workouts for the high school group starting the week of June 5.

Work Days

We'd like to finish rinsing, drying, storing tarps this week. Other jobs include consolidating/storing dry-land equipment, fixing drag suits, cleaning snorkels, and straightening up the equipment room & closets. Target days are Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday. Captains can decide on times. Aquacats are hosting a meet June 3rd, so let's work together to have our jobs wrapped up by then.

Summer Training

Whether you're able to swim regularly or not this summer, you MUST remain ACTIVE!

Do NOT site around the house eating bon bons - take advantage of opportunities to get in the pool, gym, weight room, etc.

Academic All-State

The TISCA Academic All-State certificates did not arrive before the end of school. I'll get those to you when I get them. Sorry!

Notes & Reminders

Once Again:

If you are having issues with equipment (paddles, snorkels, etc.) or other items (suit ties, goggle straps, dry-land clothes, caps, etc.), let's get that taken care of BEFORE practice. Try to give me or a teammate a heads up so we can help you out. We have plenty of options - don't wait until we're starting a set to say something!

Taking care of business in the classroom helps you and your teammates. Don't put off school work until it becomes an emergency and "forces" you to miss practices! Be proactive - turn off your phone, pay attention in class, do assignments ahead of time, get help ahead of time, study for tests/quizzes, etc. When you're not at practice, you're not improving...and you might not be traveling to the next meet...

New:

Remember, Friday's Turkey Bowl meet is off the schedule - our next meet is the December Brazosport Invite.

Friday we have an early dismissal and football playoff game in Humble. We will not practice Friday.

Saturday morning we will practice from 7 to 9 a.m. Please be early to pull tarps so we can splash at 7.

Last Call: If you know of athletes who are a) strong academically, b) have all paperwork on file, c) have previous swimming experience, d) desire a chance to contribute, e) will attend practice daily, & f) would be a good fit with our program, let them know it's time to get their swim on ASAP.

Yes, if there are student/athletes who fit the bill, invite them to practice!

No, do not recruit/beg anyone to swim who isn't sure they want to be out there with you!
