High School Swim Team Update - Week of 12/30/24

Good evening everyone,

I hope everyone had a great holiday with family and friends! The schedule went out for all of winter break in the last update, but there are a few important reminders and updates for the league meet tomorrow and then the rest of the season. I am happy to help if you have any questions!

Reminders:
1.) Each team has been asked to provide 3-4 timers for the league meet tomorrow. If you are able to help us out with timing and would like a great seat on deck/free entry, please send me an email and I will let them know.
2.) We would like to continue with pasta parties as some fun team events this season. Linked here is a pasta party volunteer sheet with information and mirror dates we will use this season (Thursdays before dual meets/select meets).
3.) The makeup date for our dual meet with Perry will be Monday Jan 20th at 6:00 pm. This is a non school day for Martin Luther King Day. I try to avoid week night meets at all costs, but unfortunately this was the only date they had available.
4.) Seniors, please be sure that you complete and email back a copy of the senior night profile when you have a chance. Open the doc, select "file" and "make a copy" to edit yours. When complete, please share it back to myself and coach Emily. We hope to be able to run the program exactly as we have in the past.
5.) To help with senior night and awards night, we will likely be running a fundraiser for superbowl squares like we have in the past. More information on that to come, but I wanted to get the word out because I know some boards are starting to go around.
6.) For practice, please bring your suit, towel, goggles, cap (if you prefer one), and water bottle (if you prefer one).

Mon 12/30 - Swim practice at UH Wellness 2:45-5:00 pm
Tue 12/31 - No practice (Holiday)
Wed 1/1 - No practice (Holiday)
