Good evening everyone,

Great work at our meets this past weekend! Girls improved to 7-1 and Boys 5-3 with wins over Perry and Brush. Results are linked below. Please note the holiday practice schedule below. We had to make some adjustments based on holiday hours at Lake Health.

Results: Mentor vs Perry and Brush

Reminders:
1.) Timers – We are in need of a few timer volunteers for our JV home meet this Friday. If interested, please place your name on any of the open lines linked here.
2.) Swimmers will be split this week into attending one of two meets. Swimmers not in the league meet due to entry limits set by the league will be swimming against Euclid and Wickliffe on Friday night after those in the league meet have practice. Those swimming need to arrive by 4:30pm for warmups and the meet will start at 6:30pm. Swimmers in the league meet will be swimming Saturday and the bus will leave at 7:15am. The league meet is a prelims (start 10:00am) finals (start 6:00pm) format. Swimmers qualifying for finals will be at CSU most of the day, so bring a lunch/snack, book to read etc. We will stay on the pool deck/in the CSU Gym with the other teams during the time between prelims and finals. Swimmers will be staying with the team the full time. We will send the bus back with anyone not qualifying for finals at the conclusion of the prelim session in the morning. The bus will then return to take everyone home that swam in finals.
3.) For the scavenger hunt tomorrow, bring tennis shoes and a coat. Meet at the Gym lobby at 10:00am.
4.) For practice absences, please send us a quick email with date and reason (doc appointment, family emergency, sick, sport, etc) so that we can update attendance.

Swim Team Update - Week of 12-17-18

Good evening everyone,

Great work on Saturday! Mentor girls finished 14th and boys 20th. This was out of 40 teams and included over 900 swimmers against some of best competition in the state. Mentor swimmers combined for 36 season-best times at the meet. Results are linked below. We are back with a dual meet against North and Aurora this Friday night at Spire.

Results: Mentor vs Winter Champs Invitational

Reminders:
1.) Be sure to study for exams Wed, Thu, and Fri of this week. Remember the swim team is consistently at the top of team-high GPA in the school. Study and do your best! I would prefer nobody does doubles this week and instead that you use the extra time to review. I will still offer the two practice options to give you flexibility. Remember that is 100% more options to meet your attendance than any other team/sport at any level, varsity, junior varsity, or freshmen, in the school. Use them as you need and good luck on your tests!
2.) Timers – We are in need of a few timer volunteers for our home meet this Friday. The touchpads will nearly always get the time, from there the backup buttons, and as a last resort the lane timers. We need two per lane per OHSAA rule but I promise it is not high-stress. It also offers the best view of all the races! If interested, please place your name on any of the open lines.
1.) For practice absences, please send us a quick email with date and reason (doc appointment, family emergency, sick, sport, etc) so that we can update attendance. Remember that missed practices should be made up and you have two options to meet your attendance requirement for each day! A giant thank you to those of you that have been on track with this!

Swim Team Update - Week of 11-26-18

Good afternoon everyone,

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  This week we enter our first meets of the season!

Reminders:
1.) Most Important reminder for this week is to get pay-to-play fee paid.  This needs to be paid by our first meet.  This can be paid through Infinite Campus like school fees or by check.  Fees would be 200$ for first sport, 50$ for second sport or if a sibling has already participated.  Please note that because these are a school/district-wide item and not team specific, I do not post these or have any ability to change them.  If there is an error or you have any questions please contact the athletics office.
2.) Pasta Parties – Parents if anyone is interested in hosting, helping to host, or sending along some supplies, please feel free to place your name on any of the open lines linked in this Google Doc.  Always a great time and support for our swimmers!!!
3.) Timers – We are in need of a few timer volunteers for our first home meet this Friday.  The touch pads will nearly always get the time, from there the backup buttons, and as a last resort the lane timers.  We need two per lane per OHSAA rule but I promise it is not high-stress.  It also offers the best view of all the races!  If interested, please place your name on any of the open lines.
4.) All swimmers that have met their attendance will be in the meet on Friday night.  Please note the meet Saturday is a relay meet with 8 relays for the girls/8 for the boys.  For Saturday, each school is able to enter only one relay per event meaning not all of our swimmers will be entered.  Attendance standing and times will be used.  Lineups will be announced Tue/Wed.  Thank you!
5.) For practice absences, please send us a quick email with date and reason (doc appointment, family emergency, sick, sport, etc) so that we can update attendance.  Remember that missed practices should be made up and you have two options to meet your attendance requirement for each day!  A giant thank you to those of you that have been on track with this!

Swim Team Update Week of 4-30-18

Good morning everyone,

Few quick updates.  Parent night pictures came in for all winter sports teams.  Stop by F-103 before school or F-105 after school to receive yours.  A few people have asked for a copy of the awards night packet and I have linked the item here and also on the team website.

We have a swim team fundraiser carwash on June 2nd at Mentor Mitsubishi.  It will last from 11am-2pm.  This helps to pay for team t-shirts, bus snacks, team meals, parent/senior night, and awards night.  I will also be happy to sign volunteer hours towards graduation for anyone that attends.  Please click here to RSVP even if you can only attend a portion of the time

If anyone is interested is interested in offseason conditioning, please click here to complete the brief survey.  We are looking to offer a few options and possibly partner with some additional MHS teams for some special events.

If you are applying for National Honor Society, I would be happy to help you complete your recommendation form and evaluation.  Please drop off any forms in F-103 before school, F-105 after school, or the main office and they can place it in my mailbox.

When scheduling for next year, please be certain that you are scheduled for at least five credits.  Gym does not count towards your credits.  You must be passing five credits to be eligible.  Also please be aware that if you are scheduling Lakeland classes that they cannot conflict with your ability to be at one practice a day during the season.  If any questions please contact me.

Be active this summer.  Get outside and do something! :)  Here are the links to local swim teams if you are interested.

If you are looking for a summer job, the city rec department contacted me and said they were short on lifeguards.  It sounds like they were going to run a lifeguard certification class as soon as summer begins to certify and then hire new guards.  The flyer they sent is attached below and you can apply at www.cityofmentor.com.  Please contact the rec department with any questions.

Last item is a big favor from the parents.  With some seniors graduating we have a few booster positions opening that we would love to get some help with.  All the help we receive from parents is what makes this team great and leads to so much amazing support of our student-athletes.  This includes spiritwear, bus snacks, timers, parent night, senior night, photography, announcing, fundraising, all of these items and more that benefit every member of our team.  We are so appreciative of the help everyone gives and we could not do it without you.  If you have great ideas on what you would like to see or want to help us out, please please consider becoming involved with the booster group.  You can email me or lanelineclub@gmail.com for more info or to volunteer.

Hope everything is going well and work hard to finish out the school year on a strong note!
