Hey all, The coaches wanted to say that you all swam very well yesterday! Even though we did not win the meet we were still able to have swimmers swim best times. AK won league last year, so they are definitely the team to beat. Ken Caryl entries should be posted today, so be sure to take a look at that. There will be no practice Monday, and be sure to check the blog to find out if there will be practice Tuesday. The water needs to he warm enough and the chemicals need to be correct. I hope you all have a great weekend! Coach Shelby

THERE WILL BE NO PRACTICE TOMORROW, FRIDAY JUNE 15TH.  THERE ARE POOL MAINTENANCE ISSUES.  ENTRIES FOR THE MEET ON SATURDAY ARE POSTED ON THE RIGHT.  PLEASE COME PREPARED KNOWING WHAT YOU WILL ALL BE SWIMMING SINCE WE DO NOT HAVE TOMORROW TO LOOK AT THEM.

Thank you for your cooperation!!! Warm-ups on Saturday will be at 6:30, please arrive by 6:15.  Parking is not the best and you will be parking in the neighborhood.  Enjoy the day off and see all of you Saturday morning!

If you have any questions please email me denn2426@bears.unco.edu or call me (720)-201-9577.

Coach Shelby

Gators,

We have our second intrasquad meet tonight.  Please be at the arrive a few minutes early to be in the pool for warm-ups by 5:30.  It is supposed to be a really hot day today, so try to do something low-key if possible so that you are able to swim some best times tonight!!  See you at the pool!

Also I was told this morning that the bathrooms have been very messy after swim team practice.  We need to make sure that we are leaving the pool, bathroom, and grounds as they were when we first arrive to the pool in the morning.  If you all could clean up after yourselves and make sure your teammates are doing the same that would be wonderful! Thank you so much!

Coach Shelby

P.S. Don’t forget to buy your water world tickets! It is a really fun day and the coaches will challenge anyone on The Tortuga!

Also if you all want to learn a really FUN new way to put on your caps be sure to ask Shea Murphy and Emma Berg!

Gators I am so proud of all of you, and I cannot thank you all enough for the support this weekend!  You made it such a smooth and wonderful meet, and I would like to give a huge thank you to Lance Carpenter for being a wonderful fill-in coach (Coach Rich and Josh better be careful, he may be taking their spots)! We had so many awesome swims and swimmers qualify for league and state, keep up the good work because it is definitely paying off.

I wanted to send out a friendly reminder that we have an intrasquad meet on Wednesday, and we are swimming at Applewood Knolls on Saturday.  We started sign-ups today at practice, and it would be really nice to have everyone signed up by tomorrow for the intrasquad, and for Saturday we need to submit entries Thursday night, so the last day to sign up so that you can be on a relay will be Wednesday. Thank you! See you all tomorrow and don’t blow away with the wind today!

Coach Shelby

In Week 2 of the Foothills Swim Asociation 2012 season the Gators look to continue their perfect season and reach 2-0. To ensure that the Gators swim fast and have a great meet please make sure to be at the swamp for the 6:00am warm-up. Both Coach Josh and Rich will not be in attendace so Shelby will be on her own. Please try and help her my making it to the heating shed on time. The meet entries are posted to the right and they are posted at the pool, take a look and write your events down for tomorrow.

Good Luck
Coach Rich
