Meet Tuesday at Morganton! No Practices This Wednesday!

Good afternoon Torpedo!

First of all, many thanks to the VTST family for a great meet on Thursday. McDowell swimmers did a great job, but they couldn't beat the Torpedo in our second meet of the season.

You can find a brief article about the meet here: http://www2.morganton.com/sports/2012/jul/13/torpedo-swimmers-speed-past-mcdowell-ar-2430932/

This coming Tuesday we swim against Morganton. The pool is a 50 Meter pool, so we are encouraging any of our younger swimmers who have difficulty swimming 25 yards (one lap at Valdese) to come and cheer on the team, or enjoy a nice week without a meet. Either way, coaches need to know if you will be attending the meet BY MONDAY NIGHT AT THE LATEST!

Please make sure to sign-up for the Sprint/Distance Meet at Forest City on July 21. We need to get entries to the Stingrays staff by Wednesday evening. This is an optional meet for our swimmers, and it has been a lot of fun in the past. There is a chance to swim longer and shorter events than those we typically swim at our regular meets.

Finally, THERE WILL BE NO PRACTICE ON WEDNESDAY, JULY 18! Coach Andersen will be out of town for a conference all day. Enjoy your day off after the meet. We WILL be having an evening practice on Thursday and a morning practice on Friday. There will also be NO PRACTICE ON FRIDAY, JULY 27! Coach Andersen will be out of town for personal reason.

With the rest of our meets this season on a Tuesday, the following schedule changes will be made:
Monday: Morning and Evening Practices!
Tuesday: Morning Only!
Wednesday: Evening Only!
Thursday: Morning and Evening!
Friday: Morning and Evening!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
