Hello Swim Team,

We are holding practice at our regular times tonight:
6-7 pm for swimmers 9 and under
7-8 pm for swimmers 10 and up

Three notes:

1. There is a lot of equipment to be set up and taken down for swim team practice. Swimmers are encouraged to help with this. Parents are also encouraged to help. Most of the jobs are easy. Please ask the Coach what you can do to help. It will be most appreciated!

2. Kids ask me often if they should have goggles for swimming. The answer is an emphatic YES. This will help protect their eyes from the pool chemicals and improve their sight in the water. Goggles can be purchased from the swim team (see Babette Martin) or from any store where sporting goods are sold.

2. Parents and gaurdians are urged to keep track of the weather during swim practice in case the pool is prematurely closed due to storms. Should the pool close, we ask that parents and gaurdians pick up their child as soon as possible, to keep the kids safe during the storm.

Welcome to the 2007 Swim Season

Hello Swim Team!

We plan to use this blog as a way to communicate swim team information. For example, schedules, rain cancellation, meet information, etc. Look here daily for the latest news. If you have questions, please contact Jim Mahaney at 626-3345 or by email at gilesjets@yahoo.com .

Our first practice is scheduled for Monday May 21st from 6-7 pm for kids 10 and under and from 7-8 for kids 11-18. Whether we swim or not depends on the weather. We will meet and cover some introductory things even if we don't swim.

All swimmers must turn in a completed release form before they will be allowed to participate. Forms will be distributed during the first few practice days.

Our first meet is June 19th at home against Richlands. More information will be posted soon. All swimmers must pay their dues and complete a meet attendance form to be able to swim in the meet. The form will be due before the first meet. Watch for announcements.

Here's to a great year! Jim
