High School Swim Team Update - Week of 10/31/21

Good afternoon everyone,

Apologies, from reports received today, it seems our weekly newsletter email did not go through. We want to thank everyone again for their hard work and effort these past few days! Congratulations on making the 2021-2022 team! We are looking forward to a great season! Our reminders and schedule for this week are included below.

Reminders:
1.) If you did not have a chance to turn in your forms yet, or haven’t been at practice because of a fall sport/activity, please be sure to get FinalForms and your athletic physical turned in as soon as possible.
2.) For practice absences, please send us a quick email with the date and reason (doc appointment, family emergency, sick, sport, etc.) so that we can update attendance. Missed practices should be made up using the morning option. Thank you!
3.) For swimmers attending a morning makeup practice or doubling up, please enter the facility through the front door/main entrance of the building. They will have a temp check stand there for you to use as you pass through the lobby. We do have access to the family locker rooms for changing after morning practice and before school.
4.) A window for suit orders will run this week ending on Friday, 11/5. You may access the store through the following link. If you have a team suit from previous years, you are fine to continue using that suit. We use the same suit design each year to help prevent having to purchase a new meet suit each year. These suits are the TYR Endurance fabric which will not wear out from the chemicals in the water. It is completely fine if you want to order a meet suit separately, it just needs to be all black. https://aquaticoutfittersofohio.com/pages/mentor-cardinals
5.) For practice, you will need your suit, towel, goggles, cap (if you wear one), and clothes that you will change into.
6.) Please remember to wear masks at all times when not in the water.

Mon 11/1 AM - Optional/Make-Up swim practice at LH Wellness 5:35-6:45 am

High School Swim Team Update - Week of 10/24/21

Good afternoon everyone,

We hope you are excited about the start of swim season tomorrow!  If you are planning on coming out for the team this year, please take a look at a few first-week reminders and our weekly schedule listed below.

Reminders:
1.) There are no locker-rooms for showering/changing.  Students at school tomorrow will change into suits in the athletic/gym locker rooms after school, put clothes on, then head over to practice at the Lake Health Wellness Center.  Students coming from home tomorrow will change into their suits at home, put clothes on, and then come to practice.  After practice, swimmers will dry off, put clothes on, and then catch their rides home.  Please take a look at page 11 of the team handbook for maps.
2.) FinalForms must be completed for the first day a swimmer will participate.  This includes an athletic physical (Example linked here; will be the last page as you fill out FinalForms).  Physicals are good for 13 months.  If you have participated in another school sport or activity, please double-check that you have swimming selected in FinalForms too.  Forms can be handed to coaches at practice tomorrow.
4.) If you have not already done so, please make sure that you have completed the team Google Form sign-up so that you are able to receive the weekly newsletter and updates.
5.) If you are in a fall school sport, finish up with that sport before joining us for swim team.  We know many swimmers are in fall sports and will be joining us over the next two weeks.  Please send us an email letting us know so that we can mark it for attendance and the team roster.
6.) For practice, you will need your suit, towel, goggles, cap (if you wear one), and clothes that you will change into.
7.) Please remember to wear masks at all times when not in the water.

Schedule:
Mon 10/25 - Swim practice at LH Wellness 2:45-5:00 pm
Tue 10/26 - Swim practice at LH Wellness 2:45-5:00 pm
