Parents - With two more championship meets left in the longcourse season the 2008-2009 seasons are wrapping up this month. I would first like to thank all of the families that participated with RICE through out the year. The team experienced great growth in numbers and families and new successes in and out of the pool this past year. RICE swimmers excelled at every level from Sectionals to local Summer League swim meets. We are excited to keep the momentum going for the 2009-2010 season.
A reminder that our last official practice day (group and swim meet dependent) will be July 31st. The rec center will be closed for part of August and swimmers and parents should use this time to recharge their batteries a bit. Listed below are the dates for our returning swimmer week of practice. This will be used to place swimmers in new groups and get everyone registered for the start of the fall session prior to having new swimmer registration.
Returning Swimmer Registration:
August 17th -20th. (Practice times TBA)
Swimmers will swim in the groups they were previously placed in and be evaluated and placed through out the week. These practices will not introduce new ideas or be used for training instead they will be offered to get swimmers back into the mix prior to the start of school. It is essential that if your swimmer is going to participate on the club they attend as many practices this week as possible. If you are unable to attend please send me an email. Practice times and dates will be posted on our website as well as the new blog and news features.
You will find an event sign up for Fall registration (available on Wednesday) under the events link. Please log in to the website and commit to this event if you attend on swimming in the fall. This will give us a rough estimate of numbers going into the returning swimmer week. We are not currently taking checks or money for the fall.
We are still confirming with the Rec Center our official start date but we are again looking at the week after Labor day. More info will be available as we get closer. Our groups, practice times and dates will also be emailed out and posted once available. We are trying to ensure the smoothest transition from the old Autry pool into the new facilities.
As always if you have any questions please send me an email.
See you guys at the pool,
Coach Jason and the RICE Aquatics Coaching Staff.
