2017 NORTH ROCKLAND GIRLS SWIMMING AND DIVING

Dear Swimmers and Divers,

It is that time of the year to start getting ready for the upcoming Girls Varsity Swimming and Diving 2017 season! I hope you are all enjoying your summer and that you have been taking the time to stay active and healthy. Before we get started, there is some important information that we need to remind everyone about in order to have a smooth beginning.

August 10, 2017 all Varsity swimmers and divers must go to North Rockland High School for a re-check at 7:00am. This re-check is MANDATORY for your participation on the swimming/diving team. If you cannot make this date, then you must come in on August 14, 2017 at 7:00am also at NRHS. If you went through the Athletic Placement Process, your rechecks are on Monday, August 14th, at 7:00 am. All fall athletes must go through the re-checking process and have to be cleared by the nurse before they can start practice.

The first day of practice for all Varsity swimmers is Wednesday, August 16th, from 7:30-9:30am at NRHS. The practice schedule for first week:
August 16-19, 22, 24, 26, 29, 31 - Swim only 7:00-9:00am

Team Requirements
You are required to have suits, caps, goggles, water bottles, towels etc. with you for every practice. If you need any of these items, they can be found online at swimoutlet.com. Additionally, bring a lock to keep all of your items locked in a locker, unless you have them with you on the pool deck. It is also a good idea to have extra suits, goggles, and caps in your lockers just in case. Water bottles are required for every practice to keep yourselves hydrated during your workouts.

We are all looking forward to having another fun and exciting season! Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.


Sincerely,

Laura Holmes
