Please remember that now we are outside so please bring warm clothes to put on after practices. It may be chilly. If it does thunder, we will be going to the gym for dryland practice, so please come to practice no matter what. Goodstuff Scratch Deadline The Goodstuff scratch deadline has past. Please email coach Brian if you will not be attending. This is the last chance! We still need volunteers to help run the meet. The volunteer sign-up poster is in the Candler lobby. 2003 Awards Banquet- This Thursday, May 8th.

SWIM- A-THON 2003 The 2003 Swim-A-Thon will take place the week of May 12th. This will be held both at Candler and Pullen, depending on your practices. Please begin to start getting pledges from people. We need 100% participation from everyone to make this a great event. As you all know the we will be doing our swim-a-thon during the week of May 12th. This is our last week swimming at Candler. Here are some things to remember about the swim-a-thon
Dates & Times for each of the Practice Groups
Technique for the Week As all of you know we are now into the long course season. This means no 25's for you swimmers that are 8 & Under. Meters is longer than yards, and this means longer races for all swimmers in the summer. I like the fact that at most of these meets we can swim outside and that is great. You also may have noticed that we have started to do a lot more continuous swimming. I am trying to prepare all of you so that you are ready for some of those longer races. This is a great experience for you, and I think you will really see how it will pay off in the first long course meet. It is important for you all to attend practice so when you get in the race you will not be saying to yourself "where is the wall". While doing this longer swimming it is very important to continue to concentrate on your technique. That has been a focus of ours all year long.
