New Coaches
As you may know Shane departed to a different team for a situation that was a better fit for his academic and career goals. We wish him well. We hired Lisa King to be his replacement. Lisa had filed in as a substitute last year and has a wealth of knowledge.We also hired three substitutes this season. They are Brad Huppenthal, Jack Gottschalk and Kristen McBrien. They also will make great additions to the coaching staff.
Contacting a Coach
Should it be needed to talk to a coach please wait if possible until after swim practice is over? I am available via e-mail at coachchris@baacfins.com. My cell phone number is 301-752-1538.Scratches
Scratch sheets have been placed in the scratch folder; in the front of the mailboxes. If you are unable to make a meet or need to leave early or come late please indicate this on the scratch sheet, by the appropriate deadline. For Saturday meets you need to have scratched by Noon on the preceding Wednesday. For a Wednesday meet you must scratch no later then Saturday at noon preceding the meet. If you are unable to make it to the scratch sheet e-mail me but do so on the same timeline.If an emergency arises let me know ASAP I must turn in the line-up early late scratches my result in some kids not being able to swim.
Pizza Party
See the flyer in your box for details about the pizza party. At 6:15 PM we will have a brief kids meeting and cheer session. Hope to see you all there.Volunteers
Some people need to sign up for their 4 volunteer duties yet. We need everyone to do their part. We need timers still for time trials and the Joppatowne meet.Time-Trials
Swimmers need to check in at 6:45 AM. This meet is at the athletic club and is a learning experience for new swimmers as well as an opportunity to meet their team-mates. We will start warm-ups at 7:00 AM. Please park in the rear parking lot of the club.Practice Change
Kids in the 13-18 y/o group that practice from 8-9 AM once school gets out will have one additional practice. That group will practice Thursday morning at the same time. This means you will practice 5 days a week.The entire team will switch to the AM schedule for practice on June 18th. Please see the brochure for times. Once this occurs we will not be as cramped for space and offer a bit more stability.
