Swim Team Update Week of 1-29-18

Good evening everyone,

I wanted to pass along information about arrangements for Coach Heller.  Each swimmer and family are encouraged to make what decisions on attending feels right to them.  Our dear friend and coach will be greatly missed.  Please remember that the school guidance departments, administration, and athletics staffs are here to help in any way we can.  Calling hours will be held this Tuesday from 3:00-9:00pm at Brunners Funeral Home in Mentor.  Funeral services will be held Wednesday at 10:00am at St. Marys Church in Mentor.  If students would like to attend the funeral services on Wednesday, parents need to call school attendance offices to call students off from school.

With the final dual meets of the season, both teams went 3-1 on the weekend.  This improves the ladies record to 12-3 and the boys to 8-7 on the season.  From both meets, we saw 92 season-best times set this past weekend.  Great swimming!  Our schedule for this week is included below.

Morning practices at this stage of the season should only be attended if you miss a practice during an afternoon.  With the teams on taper, we are now gradually reducing yardage and controlled intensity to lead swimmers to a rested status before their championship meets.  On an organization note, swimmers are either attending JV Championships at Canton Timken this Saturday as their championship meet, or Sectionals at Spire on Saturday Feb 10th as their championship meet.  Remember swimmers to avoid junk food, pop, and try to get plenty of sleep.  Practices for those swimmers attending the JV Championship meet this Saturday will end approximately 30 minutes earlier than the listed time.

Mon AM 1/29 - Swim practice 5:45-6:45am (optional)
