Future Royal 1, Week 24 - Upcoming Week
Welcome!
We added in a bit of flipturn work this week and it went well! We had a few swimmers who previously felt they couldn't do one (although all of them had some basic idea of it, the classic 'can't do it' but actually can idea!!)
We have our Northside meet coming up this weekend, Sat and Sunday are meet days! I Will Not Be In Attendance, as I will be out of town! Coach Kylie and Coach Blake will be at the meet, and Coach Kylie is taking the lead on helping our group, please thank her if you see her!
With that said, we will also only have practice Thursday and Friday of this week, there is a diving regional meet at HSE on Tuesday. I will be gone for both practices this week! :( However Coach Rachel has generously offered to cover both Thursday and Friday practice.
If I hear the kids did well at those practices, I will have Candy for the swimmers when I return next Tuesday (the 17th), feel free to pass that along to your kiddos ...
NOTICE: We coaches were informed this week that the HSE doesn't like us using Door 8 *the door at the back of the pool near the windows* for drop off and pickup. Please have your swimmer go to Door 10 (*Entrance you'd go through coming from the parking lot by the pool, near the football field) instead.
For announcements/important items this week there isn't much, besides our usual
- If your swimmer has not gotten a shirt, please email me! @[email protected]
- If I don't have them, I will ensure your swimmer is on the list for our staff who prepare the shirt bags. This might take some time.
- Almost all of us who aren't brand new have it already, but if you haven't, visit the Elsmore swim shop to ensure your swimmer has Fins and a Kickboard! Additionally, Elsmore recently received a stock of our "Meet" swimsuits, so go ahead and purchase a suit we use for meets:
- There is a GroupMe for FR1, go to this link to join! Feel free to message about any questions of other parents or myself in there, I will do my best to monitor that chat regularly. I will be sending updates about practice cancellations/meet updates, etc.
- We want to represent our Royal colors, so we have what Coach Andy calls "Royal Fridays!" (an HSE tradition) where every Friday students/athletes, and coaches/teachers wear blue colors (specifically the shirt!)
- The SSC announcing crew (our wonderful announcers for meets) is looking to grow the group!
- We would like to extend an invite to any Future Royal Parent who would like to give it a try. We have the November Splash on Saturday, and Matt would be glad to show you the ropes during this club-only event. It is a lot of fun and offers you a front row seat to the action - all while counting towards your volunteer obligation to the club when announcing for one of the club hosted/non-Splash meets. Please feel free to reach out to Matt to let me know if you would be interested - [email protected]
- *IF you've noticed that some groups getting goodiebags or other fun things, we can get that for our group too! Here's the following message from Kathy Nelson, who's the lead for the Team Parents Committee.*
"We are looking for a few more parents to join the Team Parents Committee for the FR1 group!! Are you interested in becoming a little more involved in SSC? Are you wanting to support and foster the culture and the cohesion of the FR1 group? Are you wanting to get to know the FR1 athletes and families? Being an FR1 Team Parent will allow you to do just that!
If you're interested in being part of the Team Parents Committee for FR1 or want additional information about the role, contact Kathy Nelsen at [email protected]."
Our Group count!

- If you would like to leave a comment on the meet entry form as to what you'd like your swimmer to swim, you can do so.
- I will be the one assigning swimmers to events, so do not do so, but as noted you may leave comments if you want to suggest an event.
Here is the all-important link!

A reminder for meets: sometimes they can go long, make sure that your swimmers has snacks and water so they're ready to race when the time comes! Lastly please ensure that your swimmer has a towel, caps, and goggles when they arrive at the meet!
