Due to the turn out at our 9-10 am practice we will be swimming only two practice sessions for the rest of this week: upper division 6:30-8 and lower division 8-9.
Also, night practice will continue on Tuesday and Thursday evenings for upper division this week. There will be no night practice next week for state.
Excellent job to all the swimmers who participated in league today! We had many outstanding time drops, some new state qualifiers, broken records, and nail biter relay wins. All of the hard work paid off and we beat out Golden for 3rd place!
I have league ribbons, so they will be sorted and available for pickup at the banquet Wednesday. Kayli and I are doing state entries tomorrow, so check your email or phone because we can fill relays if they have at least one state qualifier, so we will pull some swimmers for just relays. Entries are due Monday at noon, so we will be as quick as we can and finish the entries for review. We will see state qualifiers and relay swimmers for practice on Monday! Upper division 7-8, 12 and under 8-9.
Huge congratulations again! Your hard work paid off!
Night practice is cancelled tonight predicting severe thunderstorms
Reminder upper division will late start at 7 am tomorrow. If that schedule prohibitive, I will be there by 6:30 to let people in. Also, if you are interested in doing sharpie decorations (e.g writing “eat my bubbles” on your back, drawing a gator, and/or applying temporary tattoos) for league, that will happen after practice. Bring a marker if you have one. We have some, but the more the better!
This week is spirit week gators! Today we played 4th of July theme games to celebrate the holiday, but the rest of the week is as follows:
Tuesday: No Practice for the 4th. No night practice for upper division. Have fun and stay safe
Wednesday: Wacky sock Wednesday! Wear your craziest socks to swim in. The bigger the better. Also intrasquad with a parent and coaches relay that evening.
Thursday: Two suit Thursday! Double up your bathing suits for twice the swimming power.
Friday: Fill it up Friday! Bring anything but a water bottle to drink out of for the set. No glass please!
Some lightning today at practice. We are out of the pool for the time being. We are not sure which way the storm is moving, but the last practice will likely start out of the water.
