Practice Notes Practices have gotten off to a rousing start. A few notes. Sometimes due to a variety of circumstances beyond our control
it may be necessary to conduct a dry-land workout to this end please have a pair of tennis shoes as it increases our options in these situations. Hopefully we will have no more incidents of random pool closings due to accidents in the pool. Also if it were to thunder and dry-land is possible we would wish to do this too.
On Friday June 13th the practice schedule will be as follows. 8:15-9:15 AM for 9-12 year olds; 9:15-10:00 AM 8 & unders; and 5:30-6:30 PM 13 & overs. On June 16 all practices will move to their scheduled AM practice times.
Time Trials Sunday June 8th is our time trial meet. Swimmers will need to report to the club at 7:30 AM we will start warm-ups at 7:45 AM and hopefully swimming events at 8:25 AM. This should allow us to be done at about 11:00 AM and that is when the pizza party will begin. When arriving please use the entrance up by kids sports and park in the rear of the building if possible. Upon arrival kids need to check in with the check-in coach located up top. This meet is simply a scrimmage to give new swimmers an opportunity to experience a meet in a low pressure environment and returning swimmers used to the routine again. It also gives coaches a chance to get times so that we can properly do line-ups for the first few dual meets. If you did not sign up to volunteer at your four meets there are still timing slots available and this would give you a chance to do that in a low stress environment.
If your child is unable to attend time trials please place your name on the scratch sheet for this meet located in the mailboxes by Friday evening. All scratch sheets for all meets are located in this folder. If you will need to miss any meet just place your name on the scratch sheet for that meet so that the coaches can properly plan a line-up. Scratch deadlines are Monday after practice for wed meets and Wed. Night for Saturday meets. If any emergencies arise after this point contact Coach Chris via e-mail coachchris@baacfins.com or via cell phone (check your handbook for this number). Questions If you should have any questions do not hesitate to see a coach after practice.
