We are SO excited to finally get back in the water tomorrow, but I need to remind everyone of several things first. 

1 - Swim Practice is at Collins Hill Aquatic Center from 4:45 - 6:00PM. Swimmers need to be dressed and on deck ready to start at 4:45. We will get out of the water promptly at 6:00, and athletes need to be picked up at that time. Please be prompt! Coaches have other obligations with their families in the evening after practice, so please be on time for your children, so that we can be on time for ours. 

2 - Dive Practice is at Bogan Park Aquatic Center from 7:30 - 10:00PM. Please make sure you bring a printed copy of your physical to practice for Coach Kerr. 

3 - We have many swimmers and divers who are currently not eligible to participate tomorrow. Please check the Rank One app immediately to make sure all forms are completely filled out. Eligibility has to be approved by our athletic director, so if this is not taken care of until after school Monday, approval will likely not be issued until Tuesday during school hours. This is extremely important, as there is no flexibility on this GHSA rule!!  If you are not yet eligible, you are still expected to attend practice, but will have to sit out. The only people not expected at every practice are those who previously filled out the club declaration form, indicating your participation in practices for an outside team.

4 - Please make sure you are prepared for practice with necessary items. Racing-style suits (not your team suit) are a must, swim cap & goggles for swimmers, towel, etc. Also, it is important that athletes stay hydrated, so bring a water bottle - with your name on it! The lost and found piles up quickly each season, so a name on everything in permanent marker really helps!! 

5 - Mark your calendars to come eat dinner with us at our Panera Bread Spirit Night on Tuesday, October 22nd from 4-8pm. Coaches and swimmers will come after practice. Be sure to tell them you are with us so they know to give 20% of your order back to our team! We will also hand out all merchandise there that was previously ordered during registration week, so that you have it in time for our first meet on that next Saturday morning, October 26th.  **Swimmers will wear their team shirt to school on Friday October 25th**

6 - Please make sure you are on GroupMe!! We send out regular communication and reminders there as well!

7 - If you haven't yet marked your calendars with all of these important dates, please do that now to make sure you don't miss a meet or other important event! They are also found on Swimtopia. 

Please reach out with any questions. We cannot wait to see everyone tomorrow at the pool!!
