ADDITIONAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

Practice this week: We have practice both weeks of the Holiday break.  Make sure you are attending so your attendance does not drop below 80%.is allowed to miss one workout that is scheduled for their group and not get penalized. 

Nutrition:  May be a bad time to bring this up since we have some holiday meals planned for the next two weeks, but we need to start talking about healthy meals for the remainder of the season.  The swimmers need their protein and carbs to make sure they stay healthy as they can.  Most important time of the day for them is the 30 minutes after their workouts.  They need some good hydration and some good protein in them.  Energy drinks are not good at that time.  Water, sport drinks or chocolate milk are good during this time.  Snack bars with lots of protein in them are also needed.  They need fuel to recover.  Let’s be smart about what we put into our bodies

Holiday Splash meet:  Went very well.   Kendall Dieckman set a new school record in the women’s 500 free.  Lot of others had some time drops as well.  We won both meets.

Carmel Dual:  We will be swimming Carmel HS at HSE on Saturday, Jan 4^th.

PAC Meetings:  Will be posting more openings this week.  Be ready.  The ones we have conducted have gone really well.

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 Merry Christmas and safe travels if you are hitting the road!
