SCRATCH DEADLINE for Tri-Meet, Tuesday, September 30th The scratch deadline for the first swim meet of the year is Tuesday, Sept. 30th. Please email coach Brian if you will NOT be ATTENDING the swim meet.. Please remember that if you do not scratch you will be automatically entered, therefore charged the meet fees. TECHNO MEETS! THIS WEEK The Techno Meets for the Minnow, Nova, Wahoo and Dolphin groups are next week. Please be sure if you are a Wahoo, and will be attending the Dolphin TECHNO Meet for age up reasons at the first swim meet. PLEASE let Coach Brian know via email so he can enter you in that meet, and not the Minnow, Nova, & Wahoo Techno meet. Dolphins ONLY - Tuesday, September 30 (5:00-7:00 PM) @ Candler There will be NO PRACTICE for Minnows, Novas, and Wahoos on this day (NOTE: Minnows will practice on Monday, Sept. 29 from 4:15-5:00 PM @ Candler Minnows, Novas, & Wahoos ONLY- Thursday, October 2nd (5:00-7:00 PM) @ Candler There will be NO PRACTICE for Dolphins on this day This is really a great event and an excellent opportunity for all swimmers to see some of the things that they need to improve on before the first meet of the year. I encourage all to attend. Parents like last year I will need a few that will be staying with there children to help out and keep the kids in the correct order after each event. I need to have you all help so this can be successful Please let Coach Brian know if you can help out at the TECHNO MEET. The swimmers will be told three different skills to complete during each of the events swum. We will talk about it at practice and before the meet starts. The object is not to go fast, but work on the skills or techniques talked about prior to the meet, hence the name "TECHO MEET".

Chick-fil-a Calendars Judy Glover will be on hand at practices
this week trying to help sell Chik-fil-a
Calendars. This fundraisers helps us heat
the bubble for the winter, and keeps down
the cost. There are also parents from certain
groups that are helping to sell these for
the club. Our sales are down from last year
so we need to make a big push at the end.
LAST CALL FOR TEAM Registration t-shirts I am making the last call for team t-shirts. Some have not written down there sizes on the Minnow, Nova, Wahoo, and Dolphin Bulletin board. If your name is not listed it is because your t-shirt probably has already been ordered. This is the last call for sizes. I will wait until Wednesday to make the order. Please write your size down on the bulletin board if you have not done so. We will have the shirts by next week if you have not received yours yet. PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING PRACTICE CHANGES: THIS SATURDAY, October 4th there will BE NO PRACTICE FOR ALL MINNOWS, NOVAS, WAHOOS, & DOLPHINS due to Bubble Up at Candler
Starting to Get Cooler Outside- BRING WARMER CLOTHES TO PRACTICE! Fall is upon us and it is starting to get much cooler outside. Please be sure to start bringing some warm clothes before and especially after practice. This means jacket, sweat shirt and pants. A hat or hood would be great to cover your wet head. Sometimes it can be hard getting back into shape after your are sick. What to Bring to Practice
TECHNIQUE FOR THE WEEK Great job this week at practice everyone. Our meets are approaching really quickly. Please be sure to attend the TECHNO Meets this week with the appropriate age group. These will help you in preparation for the first meet of the season, and help with your stroke technique. Nice job on breaststroke the past two weeks. I have really seen some great strides. Breaststroke is a difficult stroke that takes practice to be good at it. Here are some tips on swimming breaststroke
We have pretty much finished up breaststroke, and now we will be moving on to backstroke. Dolphins will be finishing up breaststroke turns this week and moving on to backstroke turns. Backstroke turns are probably the most difficult so please attend practice. Wahoos will work on backstroke this week, and learn breaststroke turns. Novas will concentrate on backstroke this week, while Minnows will be continuing to get through breaststroke. Keep up the great work in practice everyone! See you all at the TECHNO Meets this week. It should be exciting. Remember if there are any parents that would like to help out please let me know. Coach Brian |
