MEETS

Make sure you have your swimmer signed up for the MLK meet in Jan.  This is an important meet for our season.

ADDITIONAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

Practice Expectations: This time of year, the swimmers are getting tired, sick, and feeling dread.  This is common for sport teams.  We have had a few swimmers come to us to talk about feeling out of sorts and question their commitment to the sport.  This also happens around this time.  It is cold outside, don’t get to see the sun much, practices are challenging along with school demands.  Please talk to your athlete and see how they are doing.  They cannot afford to miss many practices because of the importance of the training cycles.  If they are feeling overwhelmed, please have them talk to the coaches so we can address those concerns and we can help them through this.  We all must focus on our goals and the purpose of the schedule we keep.  Time management is key to keeping us all on track.  We want all the kids to have success, and we want to help them if they are having challenges.  Thanks!

Westfield, Franklin Central and HSE Dual meet:  Tuesday we travel to Westfield YMCA to have a double dual.  Should be an exciting meet so plan on attending.  Have not gotten a entry file so not sure how many JV events will be offered.  That will determine how many swim.  Send an update when I receive the entry file.

Christmas Practices:  Please review the Christmas Training schedule posted below.  If your athlete missing some workouts, make sure they are letting us know ahead of time, so we know when no to expect them.

PAC Meetings:  Will be posting more times this week. 

PARENTS SQUARE:  If you have not signed up for this, please do so soon.  https://www.parentsquare.com/groups/join/rv9ju9bvze

Absence:  Make sure the swimmers are using the absence sheets.  They need to turn this in before they are absent.  It helps me know who to expect at each practice and I can keep track of those who do not show up.  Thanks for your help.

Questions:  If you have any questions, please email me and I will get back to you.

Have a great week!!!
