Out of one season and Into another

A LOOK BACK

Congratulations to the girls

As the boys get their season under way, I want to extend a congratulations to the HC Girls team for an excellent season. Their  fantastic dual meet season, and solid conference championship meet were great whole team accomplishments. The season was capped off with a great 4th place finish at the state championship meet.

The great finish was a testament to the hard work that each girl contributed, and the encouragement they gave to one another. Just another sneak peak at the beautiful picture God is revealing in and through them. God does good work.

FINISHING THIS WEEK

I hope all of you had a warm and enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday with the people they love. 

To finish this week we have a practice on Saturday. Let's try to be at the pool at 7:45. We will start with a walk through our dryland plan. Guys should have a pair of shorts (shirt?) and some athletic shoes for the workout.

Saturday - Practice 8:00-10:00 with breakfast to follow. Plan on a 10:30 pick up.

THANKS

Thanks for a solid start to this season. Please continue to communicate questions you might have. If you have a desire to create a carpool, contact some of the other parents. I will supply a  parent/athlete contact list as soon as we get the last few parents to fill out the form. If you have not done so yet you can find it by clicking here.

A LOOK AHEAD

As we start week two, we have a pretty normal week. 

Monday - Thursday Practice for swimmers 3:20-6:00

Friday Practice 3:20 - 5:30

Saturday, Dec 1 - Cereal Bowl Relays at Battle Creek Central HS (Jrs and Srs only)

Divers - Diving for this meet begins at 10:00am. Rich has sent out a timeline     for divers.

Swimmers -  Swimmers will be leaving from the aquatic center at 10:30am with the hope of arriving in time to see the divers finish.

Warm up begins at 12:30 and the swimming portion of the meet begins at 2:00. Swimmers will be entering a limited number of events. I anticipate being done with our events by around 4:00 and returning home by around 6:30.

PARENTS AS ENCOURAGERS

Though many of the guys are still looking out of shape, all are already starting to look better. They may be sore, but that will get a little better as they continue.

As your son continues to get in shape, I want to encourage you to encourage them. There are a few that are doubting their ability to do this and many more that may question their sanity. Encourage! Encourage! Encourage! 

Instruction does much, but encouragement everything." ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
