Good afternoon, Torpedo!
We have quite a week ahead as we get back in to the second half of the season. Thanks for a great meet yesterday. While we didn't have the team win, I am very proud of how everyone swam. We will continue to work over the next few weeks to improve and challenge the swimmers as we prepare for the championship meet.
Thursday we go to Black Mountain. I have been asked to have entries to them by Tuesday morning. As such, I will need to do entries Monday night. We have had some sign up for the meet, but a great deal more not. I am going to try something different for sign ups for this meet. We will use the paper signup as well as an electronic sign up. Warm ups on Thursday are at 5:30pm.
Following the Black Mountain meet, Saturday morning is the Sprint/Distance Meet for swimmers 11 and up at Forest City. Any swimmer going will need to plan on a longer race in addition to the shorter sprint events. There will be 200s of the strokes, 400IM, 500 Free, 1,650 Free. The 1,650 will be first in the day, and there will be a separate session and warm up afterwards for the remaining events. Any swimmers wishing to swim the 1,650yd Free will need to have someone to time and count for them. We will also be doing a float relay during the meet for parents and coaches. We will need 4 parents per relay team. I will provide a float. Swimmers and parents interested in the relays can sign up here, as well as at the pool/fitness counter.
Let's have a great week!
