Good afternoon team!  Just a few reminders and pieces of info...

Tomorrow (4th of July): No parade this year and no practice.

Fri (7/5): Regular Practice Schedule!

Next week: Monday (7/8): Regular Practice Schedule

Tuesday (7/9): Meet against Gettysvue, AT SWSR; No Little Rays!

Wednesday (7/10): Fun Wednesday Schedule

Thursday/Friday (7/11, 7/12): Regular Practice Schedule, but we will be finishing up early as the practices will be lighter these days, in prep for SMI!  Friday, 7/12, we will have NO LITTLE RAYS practice!  Please be sure to pick up senior swimmers by 11:15.  Coaches will be leaving to get set up and ready for SMI.

SMI: Entries have been turned in!  Please be sure to help your swimmers focus on this meet!  We will send out the proof from SMI Meet Director when we receive it, so keep an eye out for that. Relays are based on everyone's commitment.  We know summer has a lot of fun opportunities, but at this time, we start reminding swimmers to be very careful.  Minimize the risky activities (rip sticks, trampoline/adventure parks, activities that can lead to injuries and broken bones!!), and eat healthy, get plenty of sleep, and drink WATER!  

PLEASE go online and RSVP for our remaining 2 dual meets (7/9 V GCC and 7/16 V Concord Hills @SWSR) ASAP!  We will close them both on the Sunday before the meet at 6 pm.  Please note-you CAN'T RSVP for City online.  That required a form/fee to either the Coaches or Chet Carbaugh.  If you believe you signed up online, but didn't turn in a form/fee to one us, please text me ASAP at 207.8878 so we can see if we can get it taken care of.

We have a LOT of deadlines right now.  We are trying to keep everything accurate and up to date.  Please be sure to honor your commitments to SMI, dual meets, and City.  Last minute cancellations are very tricky, both for coaches to make good changes, and hard on the swimmers that it also affects in last minute shuffling and relay replacements.  We work very hard to give the swimmers the best possible successes we can think of, and last minute changes can quickly and easily mess these up. 

The swimmers are working very hard and we are so excited as we approach SMI and then City!  We are looking forward to seeing even more progress.  Please continue to help them get to practice on time and encouraging them to continue coming.

Looking ahead...  On Tues 7/16, we have our last dual meet.  The following day, 7/17, we will have Fun Wednesday that will be the LAST practice of the 2019 summer season for those swimmers not attending the City Championship.  That final week will be focused on the specific swims for the swimmers that will be continuing on to race in the Championship.

Thank you all!  Let's hold strong and finish this season well!  We are seeing such great progress in our swimmers training, attitudes, and effort.  We are thankful for each of them and what they bring to this team!  Just a little over 3 weeks left!  Let's finish well!
