Please do not pack any sugar in swimmers snacks. Sugar really affects muscles. Nuts, non-sugary trail mix, and banana make good in between events snacks.

Our WHCS swimmers' section is the first two rows of section 19 shown on the seating chart. Parents can sit behind us if you'd like! We got moved at the last meet so check section 19 first. If we are not there, look for us, we'll be watching for you!

Important Cub/Cadet Info and Exciting Polliwog Announcement

Important Cub/Cadet Info

By the end of the day today, I will submit these qualifying times from our Division 1 Cubs/Cadets Championships Meet yesterday:
Abbie in the 50yd Freestyle
Elly Jo in the 50yd Freestyle
Mac in the 25yd Backstroke
Haiyden in the 50yd Backstroke

I have also found out that we are allowed to submit times that are close to qualifying. I have submitted these swimmers and events:
Abbie in the 25yd Freestyle and 25yd Backstroke
Elly Jo in the 25yd Freestyle
Maddie in the 25 yd Freestyle
Madeleine in the 25yd Breaststroke 
Josiah in the 25yd Freestyle and 25yd Backstroke
Mac in the 25yd Freestyle

Thank you to Heather Young for helping us get all these times submitted!

We will not find out if any of these extra entries will be officially in the All-Star meet until January 23rd. I will send out individual emails as soon as I get word. Until then, I would like those that might make it in All-Stars to be at practice on Tuesday. By Thursday, we will know if they have made it or not. But, regardless, I would like to open up practice this week to any Cub or Cadet that would like to join us. If you have made it to All-Stars, you don't have a choice. ;) Be at practice!

We were not able to get a Cub/Cadet team pic at the meet on Saturday. Please bring your team suit and cap to practice on Tuesday. We will take our picture at practice. Thanks!

Meet results from yesterday have not been released yet. When they are, I will post it here. Keep an eye out. 

Exciting Polliwog Announcement

Both our boys and girls Polliwog teams got 3rd overall at the Polliwog Championship Meet. In addition, the girl's 100yd freestyle relay got 2nd place and the boy's got 3rd place. I am so proud of all of you! Congratulations! There were many individual ribbons won as well. These are given to the top 12 swimmers in each event. These ribbons will be handed out at the End of Season Celebration on February 1st at 6:30pm in the auditorium.

Getting Ready 

I will goal/encouragement cards for them when they get to the meet.

Please have your swimmer(s) review the starts and turns videos. Here is also a link of videos from practice last week. It is so beneficial for swimmers to watch themselves swim. It helps them see clearly what they need to work on.

From now on, we are asking you to sign your swimmer out. Please come to our team area to get them and sign them out when you are ready to go.

Thank You

Thank you to everyone who volunteered at the meet! Saint Ignatius was very appreciative.

Practice

I'm looking forward to a great week of practices. This will be the last week of practices for Polliwogs.

Cubs/Cadets Championship Meet

If you have not let me know if your swimmer will be at the Championship meet yet,  please email me by Wednesday, January 9th. Thank you! 

All-Star Swim Meet

If your swimmer has qualified for the All-Star swim meet, I will be emailing you tomorrow about if you'd like me to register them for the meet. There is a $45 non-refundable entry fee. 

If your swimmer is still trying to qualify, there is still the Championships meet. However, they will only be able to get in if there is still room. If we have anyone qualify right after the meet, I will notify the director of CYO to see if there is still room in the event at All-Stars.
