Siobhan's December Newsletter

 
 

Hello again

Just an update for the Holiday season to let everyone know what is going on over our break. There will be no practices for Red or White Dec 24-26. Practices will resume on the 27th. There also will be no practice on New Years Day.

Just a Reminder that our Holiday gift exchange/party is this Friday the 18th from 7:00 to 8:30. We will be in the child care room. A sign up sheet will be posted this week on the bulletin board this week for people that would like to help with snacks and food for this party. Items needed include, plates, cups, home baked goodies, cheese, crackers, fruit, veggies, juice boxes or soda etc.  I am very much looking forward to the items that each swimmer will be giving to their selected team mate. Remember that we hope all of these are home made items.

The PCY deadline is quickly approaching. This meet is held down at Oxford and is a wonderful opportunity for your swimmer to compete in a great facility. Please plan on attending if you can.

I am so pleased overall with how all of our swimmers are training and competing. We had some great swims both at Fishers and at SPY. Keep encouraging your swimmers. Remind them that coming to each practice ready to work and stay focused will really pay off for them.

We have two swimmers of the week to acknowledge for each group. The red group swimmer for last week was Chris Warner. Chris is my first 12 yr old to swim the mile since I started coaching, and he did a super job. Red group swimmer for this week is Megan Rupper. Megan has really had a great two weeks of practice. We have noticed her effort and applaud her for the hard work.  White group swimmer for last week was Connar Sweeten. Connar competed in the backstroke event at SPY and finally completed a back event without looking once for the wall which resulted in a great turn. White group swimmer for this week is Anna McCarty. Anna has a super hard work ethic, and brings that to each and every practice! Congratulations Anna.

I would like to take a group picture of both White and Red on Wednesday at practice. Please try to be there for this photo!
