Night Practice

Gators,

Tonight is the first night practice from 8-9:00 pm for all swimmers that swim in the upper division practice. Any parents that would like to take a few laps are always welcome to come to night practice as well.

The finalized Ken Caryl entries are up including relays, so be sure to check them out.

Also swimmers interested in swimming Sunday at the C/D meet the sign-up is now available. Please remember you can only swim in events that you have a C, D or No Time in. Please check the best times before you sign-up to make sure you are eligible to swim in those events.

Coach Rich

Ken Caryl

Nice job yesterday, I know it was a long meet but I was happy to see so many swimmers swim best times. A special congratulations to Ethan and Ryan who both broke team records in the 200 IM and 100 free respectively.

The entries for Ken Caryl invite are posted under important links. (Note: relays have not been made yet but they will be posted as soon as the coaches get them done) Please check what day and time your age group will be swimming. Upper division swims on Friday afternoon/night, all 11-12s and 9-10 boys swim Saturday morning, and 9-10 girls and all 8 and unders swim Saturday afternoon.

We will start Night Practice for upper division this week Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 8-9pm.

We will also be starting stroke clinics this week on Tuesday and Thursday from 9:45-10:30am. I will be posting a sign-up for these under important links. They will be limited to the first 10 swimmers to sign-up in addition to a few swimmers chosen by the coaches that need work on a particular skill. Tuesday’s clinic will focus on turns and Thursday’s focus will be breast stroke.

I'm Back

Time for my first meet of the summer. Now that I feel the new coaches have been appropriately broken in, I will actually be attending the meet tomorrow. That means time for the new cheer so keep practicing. You can look at the entries posted under important links. You will notice that some of the events are different then the ones you might have signed-up for (not everyone can swim the 50 free and Back).

Next week is the Ken Caryl Invite. We will be doing entries Saturday after the meet. If you have a time that qualifies, you WILL be entered in the meet unless you go to the blog under June vacation form and and put that you won’t be able to swim. Remember upper-division swims on Friday afternoon/night and all lower-division will be on Saturday.

If you do not have a qual time to swim at Ken Caryl, you can swim in the C/D meet Sunday. Sign up will be posted soon.

See you bright and early
Coach Rich

Welcome Home!

Time for the first home meet of the year. If you are like me you know what that means….Breakfast Burritos!

You can now view the entries for tomorrow’s meet under important links. If you click on entries by name you will have the events you are swimming including relays. I would recommend writing down the event numbers you will be swimming tomorrow (parents if you could help the little ones do this it will help the meet run smoothly). Also, below the link for entries you will find a link for relays, that will allow you to find who will be swimming on your relay with you. If you did not sign up on time and are turning in pink or blue cards you will not be on these lists and will have to remember your own events.

Parents don’t forget to sign-up on the blog for a volunteer shift.

Thanks
Go Gators!
