The Week Ahead: 8.11 to 8.17

The 2014 Season is finally upon us!  Summer's always a fun, much-needed reprieve, but I'm certainly ready to get geared back up for our season! As in the past, each Sunday I will post info for the upcoming week here on the blog.  Also, please see the two previous posts for info regarding football game clean-up dates and the date of our team pictures.  

Forms

• See the links below to fill out some information forms.  Please fill them out by Sunday, August 17th so I can hand out a full contact list at the Athletic's Night the following Tuesday.
• Athlete Form
• Parent Form

Physicals

• Remember, you physical form has to be either turned into the Athletic Office or in my hand on the 13th before you can hop in the pool!  I sent out an email on Friday with a list of delinquents who have yet to turn in their form and will send out an updated list hopefully on Monday.

Practice Location/Times:

• Swimmers
• Wed through Fri, 8:00-11:00am @ The Holland Aquatic Center.
• Remember, the 8:00am start time means that you're suited-up and on-deck ready to go at that time.  If you simply arrive at 8:00am, you're late!
• Divers
• Wed through Fri, 5:00-7:00pm @ The Holland Aquatic Center.

What to Bring for Swimmers:

• Practice suit, cap, and goggles.
• An old pair of socks to wear with fins (helps prevent blisters).
• A WATER BOTTLE!!! Staying hydrated is a must!!!
• A Gatorade or other sports drink, or a granola bar (you need to consume some calories during a three-hour practice).

Senior/Freshmen Get-together:

• Jade and Syd, our captains, have organized a senior/freshmen event for after practice on Wednesday to do a little bonding.  
• The information was emailed out, but if you did not receive the email, please let me know and we can make sure you have it.

Senior Camp

• Senior Camp for all HC Seniors is Sunday, August 17th to Monday, August 18th at Timberwolf Lodge.
• I will be attending the camp along with many other HC teachers, so Lisa will be leading practice on Monday.
• Seniors going to camp need to bring their suit, cap, and goggles for a wake-up swim on Monday morning in the lake, which has become a fun tradition!  You will ride back with the bulk of your class on Monday, so you're excused from Monday's practice.

If you have any questions regarding our season, don't hesitate to email or call me.  Looking forward to a fast, fun Fall!
