Gator Portait

Hey Gators,

Just wanted to touch base with you all on a few topics.

1) Intrasquad: The meet will be big tonight so we would like to start right at 6. To do that we need all swimmers here by 5:20PM ready to get in for warm ups at 5:30. We will also need timers so please come by and help out.

2) Pictures: Tomorrow 6/30/11 is the team picture7:30am, If you are doing individuals please be here early to take them. Remember to wear your team suit. The Pictures will be followed by the first annual Gator Pancake Breakfast. From there we will leave for Water World. You will need to find your own ride to and from Water World but there should be plenty of drivers to carpool with. If you have not bought tickets I have been told that we have plenty you can buy tomorrow morning just find Mrs. Long. They are a steel at $23.

3)No Practice Monday 7/4/11 Have a happy and safe 4th!

4) Practice on 7/5/11 will be normal for lower division. No morning practice for Upper Division but we will have a night practice at 8:00 pm for those who can’t wait to swim again.

5) Fear of spiders is called arachnophobia, Fear of tight spaces is called claustrophobia, fear of Dylan Jacob is called logic.

See you all tonight
Coach Rich

Hey Gators,

Hope you all were able to get caught up on rest this morning. The coaches were really impressed with all of your swims this weekend. I have not yet received the results from the meets this weekend but as soon as I do I will update the best times.

We have an intrasquad meet this Wednesday so if you would like to swim please sign up with a coach either tomorrow or Wednesday morning.

Fact: The only difference between Abby Barmore and God, is instead of resting on the 7th day Abby wins Pentathlons.

We are the Gators, the mighty mighty Gators!

Gators,

Wow, is all I can say right now! For those of you that swam at Ken Caryl, the coaches couldn’t be more proud of you! We had 20 second drops in best times all the way to first place finishes! The coaches even won a little something…the ‘Team Spirit Award’, we even have a little plaque to go along with it! The highlight of the meet would probably be when a parent asked Coach Rich if he was still in high school…ask him to tell you that story at practice on Tuesday. Even though it was a long two days you all swam incredibly! Thank you to all of the parents and swimmers for making Ken Caryl another successful meet.

But the world’s longest weekend isn’t over just yet! Tomorrow, Sunday June 26th we have two meets taking place. The CD meet will be at Mount Vernon Country Club and warm-ups begin at 6:20, so please do your best to arrive 15 minutes early. If you have NOT signed up for the CD meet you need to have cards turned in BY 6:30. After 6:30 they will not take anymore swimmers, so please keep that in mind. The other meet which will be taking place at Applewood Athletic Club is the Pentathlon. Warm-ups at this meet will begin at 6:20, again please make sure that you arrive 15 minutes early.

As of right now night practice will be happening Monday June 27th, check back for further information.

Reminders:
-No Practice Monday June 27th
-Intrasquad meet Wednesday June 29th
*Be sure to let the coaches know if you will be at the intrasquad or not.
-Pictures, pancake breakfast and Water World Thursday July 30th
*If you still haven’t purchased your tickets you still have time!

Hope you all have a great rest of your Saturday and I will see many of you at the pool tomorrow!

Fun Fact:
Ethan Schick and Superman once raced across the pool doing fly on a bet. The loser had to wear their underwear on the outside of their pants.

New Information!

Hello Gators,

We have received our warm-up time for the CD meet. We won the jackpot and will be warming up 6:20-6:40. Please arrive 15 minutes early. Also if you would like to deck enter for the CD meet you need to do so BY 6:30 am. They will not accept any entries after that time.

Rich was going to post to keep good on his word to the Moores but, Josh told him he couldn’t post becasue the Moores made him too mad and this was their punishment. Who ever heard of a car towel anyways.

There are still a ton of Water World tickets, so if you still have not purchased your ticket get on it!! Water World is the coaches favorite day of the year!

Upper division swimmers that are participating in Ken Caryl: practice tomorrow morning for you is optional, but I know that Josh and Rich would love to see the rest of the upper division bright and early tomorrow morning.

I believe that is all the information we have right now, if you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact us. Have a great day!

Coach Shelby
