News for the week of Jan. 17
We will leave Sycamore Jr. High promptly at 11:30a. There are 20 teams in our league. Our assigned warm-up time is 12:30-2p. We get 2 lanes (yes, only two!) If you can warm-up with your club team in the morning, that would be great....between 1,000 - 1,500 yards, mostly stretching and some descending and sprints.
If you are not taking the bus, I need to know in advance. If you are getting a ride home with your parents, I will need a written note the day of.
If you are not swimming in championships and are coming to the meet, please wear your spirit wear!
Don't forget the pizza party this Thursday after school for the entire team....free food! We'll decorate some posters, too. If you have not responded that you are coming, please do. It would be helpful to know how much food to buy.
Friday at 7:30p, the divers will be competing at Sycamore High School. Please come and support our divers! The diving should last approximately one hour.
News for the week of Jan 10
Our end of the season pizza party will be on Thursday, Jan. 20th after school in the cafeteria. This is a change of date due to the fact that there is NO school on Friday, Jan. 21st. I realize that there is ski club and also choir or play rehearsal (not sure which one, or both!), so if you will not be attending, please let me know. We will decorate posters for the Championship meet and eat yummy food. We will be done by 4p.
Please email me and tell me if you will be attending the pizza party or not, there is no fee involved!
Please email me if you will not be swimming this Thursday, Jan. 13th in the swim meet.
