Week 1 is completed - Let's get things going.

A Great Week
The first week of the season is both my favorite and least favorite. I love getting the guys back on deck and in the water again. I love imagining the potential in a bunch of guys and beginning to consider how to get the most out of their God given abilities. But the details of getting the season underway can be exhausting.

What I have seen in the water already this season with both our year round swimmers and our new swimmers is encouraging and my imagination is beginning to spin. Even our young freshman that have not been in the pool since March are showing that they are willing to do the work that is needed to improve and help this team.

Some of the details of this week's plans.

CAR POOLS
I think we have all of our carpooling set. Please make sure your carpool (driver and passenger) has phone numbers to contact each other when needed.

The car pools listed below are generally for rides from school to the pool. Rides home after practice or to home swim meets, etc., have to be arranged separately.

COMMUNICATION
Please continue to communicate questions you might have. I am committed to ongoing communication but don't want to inundate you with emails. If you follow this blog, it is a great way to stay up to date. This blog gets updated weekly (Saturday or Sunday) and sends emails out the next day. I usually include important information for the upcoming week or two in the blog.

You can also get text reminders by texting "@hchsswim" to 81010

You can also follow HC Aquatics on Instagram and Twitter.
