Practice Schedule – Tentatively Swim Team Practice will start June 2nd.
Please welcome back our coaches-Reva and Rhenetta Bork. We are excited to have them back!!
Daily Practices will be as follows for the 2014 Swim Team Season:
8 & Under Practices
4:15-4:45 – This practice will focus on teaching the Free Style and Back Strokes. This will also be practice where they will do their work-out.
4:45-5:15 – This practice will focus on teaching the Breast Stroke and Butterfly. There will be one designated lane for this. All other lanes will be used by the older swimmers to do their work-out.
Older than 8 or the swimmers that know all of their strokes:
Morning Practice will be from 10:45 -12:00 Afternoon Practice will be from 4:45 – 6:00
If any swimmers need help with their Breast Stroke or Butterfly, please attend the practice at 4:45-5:15 so one of the coaches can assist you with the strokes. Lastly, we will need as many older swimmers as possible to help with the 4:15 practice. With your help we can build a strong team.
We please ask that for practices and swim meets parents stay outside of the pool area.
Only Coaches, helpers, and board members (as needed) will be allowed inside the pool area.
The Championship swim meet is on July 19th. We must know by July 3rd if you will be attending this meet. Rain date for the Championship meet is July 20th.
As always, this is the most important meet of the year. As most of you know, we will be trying for our 20th consecutive James River Valley Championship. Everyone’s presence and efforts are vital to achieving this goal so please plan to attend. In order to participate in the championship meet, you need to have swum in at least 3 meets before the final meet, so please plan accordingly.
When the weather is in question, we will follow these guidelines: the temperature needs to be 60 degrees and sunny or 65 degrees and cloudy. This year we are asking that each swimmer notifies the coach whether or not they will be participating in the swim meet at least a week before it is held. This will allow plenty of time to schedule all the events. If a swimmer fails to show up at a meet which they said they’d be at, they will not be placed in any relays during the next meet.
**It is an expectation of the board members that every family volunteers for at least 2 home meets and 2 away meets. **
If you have questions or concerns about anything, please let the board know. We will send out mass texts and emails to allow for quick communication.
Thanks – The Board members Gail Albrecht, Kristi Ziebart, Carrie Oakley, Abbie Hobbick, Jill Nuebel, Sheila Hargens, and Lacey Wickersham. Coaches: Reva Bork and Rhenetta Bork
