RICE Aquatics will be sending three coaches to the ASCA (American Swimming Coaches Association) World Clinic this week. RICE University Head Coach Seth Huston, RICE Aquatics Head Coach Jason Wedlick and Masters Coach Chris Price. The American Swimming Coaches Association is a professional service organization based on a central theme of Leadership in American Swimming through Education, Certification, and Cooperation. ASCA is dedicated to creating and enhancing progressive and highly visible programs that are effective in strengthening and improving the coaching profession and building a stronger swimming community. Coaches from all over the US and World will be at the clinic this week. We are excited to go rub watches with some of the top coaches in the country and bring back a wealth of new knowledge to our staff and your swimmers.

During this time groups will still have practice but coach coverage will be less than a normal practice.

See you at the pool,

Coach Jason

Practice Schedules and Parent meetings are now viewable on our website. Please first log into the website then click the Group Calendar link. Choose your swimmers group in the drop down menu and you should see practice dates available for your swimmer as well as the parent meeting schedule for this month. If there are any changes that I know of ahead of time I will have the changes made prior to the start of the week on the calendar schedule. Otherwise emails will go out and for last minute notices a combination of email, front page notice, and blog notice. Please make sure to check the calendar early in the week. When events are added to the website they will be viewable on the calendar as well.

See you at the pool tomorrow! (Unless you do not have Tuesday practice)

Coach Jason
