November 2, 2009 (Happy Birthday, Mom -- #90)
Good Monday Morning:
Þ Today the coaches will start taking sign-ups for Sunday’s SCAY Invitational. Everyone will swim the IM, so we will be asking the kids what other three events they want to swim, in order of importance, as we may drop the 4th event so they can swim a relay. Our warm ups are at 12:00 sharp and the meet begins at 1:00.
Þ Bloomsburg Swim Your Own Age meet entries are due Wednesday, November 4. You must use our Meet Entry form and place them in the Meet Entry folder. We are about to switch over to a slightly different ME form, which is why you might find paper copies of our soon to be old form. These are OK to use. Make sure you check the meet information for the maximum number events the kids can swim. Enter your swimmers in the maximum number of events.Þ Yesterday’s Halloween Invitational was blast! I have not received the results yet, and when I do I will get them out to you. Another thing we are going to do is to send out updated best times after each meet. Swimmers of the Meet are Kiana Albert for the morning session and Danielle Feffer for the afternoon session. The Swim of the Meet (not recognized at every meet) is Sarah Dangelo’s 200 free. She was a stud. Swimmers of the meet receive a certificate recognizing their performance. Swimmer of the Meet criteria are, in order:
Team support
Sportsmanship
Best times
Points Scored
Please keep in mind the award is usually subjective. For yesterday’s morning session we coaches discussed 5 or 6 swimmers.
Þ As we have in the past, the D3 group will begin practicing from 4:10 – 5:40. This will take place beginning Monday, November 30. The D3 group will practice from 4:10 – 5:40 Monday through Thursday. Friday and Saturday (when there are no meets) will remain the same as they are now.
Þ I am having a JR/SR Group meeting today. We will be going over some items that are pertinent to the beginning of the high school season. We will also be distributing our Property Of Shirts, which look great this year.
Þ For this Saturday D1,2,3 practice we will be working on two hand turns and breaststroke pullouts.
More as it happens…..
