First Practice Review and Updates :)

Review

We did it! We got through our first practice. First practices are always a bit rough around the edges, but we got through it! Every practice will get smoother as I figure things out and as the swimmers get used to swimming the yardage and my style of coaching. I learned so much today, and I hope you're swimmer did too. I'm excited to build upon what we accomplished today. Please pass along my encouragement to your swimmers. They all did great and I'm excited to see them back in the water on Thursday! 

Polliwog Pick Up

Athletic Director, Doug Loiler and Principal Chang have worked together to come up with a solution to get us out quickly at pick up so that we can get to the pool. I told the Polliwogs and the parents on deck that we will start when everyone is there or at 3:45, whichever comes first. If you have Polliwogs that are trying to make it to the pool at 3:30, we have been told to park along side the gym but up the hill like you're going to exit the parking lot. Park as close to the curb as you can. They will walk out the swim kiddos and you can pick them up in front of the red gym door. 

Locker Rooms! 

I spoke to the pool owner. She has given us permission to use the locker rooms! We need to be sure to be quiet and respectful when we are there and in the hallways. We need to be out of the facility no later 5:30. Cubs and Cadets' practice will end at 5:20. So, there still won't be a lot of time for a shower but, there will be plenty of space now to get dressed! 

Carpool

I am attaching a swim team roster with addresses, emails, and phone numbers. Please contact one another to arrange rides. I have space for one more swimmer on Thursdays in my car.
