RICE Aquatics - Outside the Lane Lines

Parents - We will be having a team outfitting today for all groups. Texas Swim Shops will be setting up outside of the Rec Center under the covered walkway. With potential rain in the area this will give everyone the easiest access to get their equipment and get out as quickly as possible. If you can not make todays outfitting please make sure to get all your equipment prior to the first day of practice. Equipment needs were given out during try outs and/or emailed out for returning swimmers. You can also find the list on our website. 

If you are purchasing a team suit. Please have your swimmer wear their suit to the pool so we can slip the team suit over to make sure we have a proper fit. Girls should remember that this is a competition suit and not a practice suit. You should not be able to lift the straps of the suit up past your ears. Ideally 3 fingers should be able to slide under the shoulder strap of the suit. Typical sizes are 22-26. For reference we have college women swimmers in 26-30.

I will have ID's available for swimmers at a separate desk. If you are a new swimmer you will need to pick up a lanyard, ID case and paper ID. This is to be worn to enter the pool and while in the facility. IF you are a returning swimmer you will need to pick up the new card and place it in your previous case. 

Again with the possibility of rain at 40-70 % we understand if you can't make it tonight. But we will begin using equipment at the first practice and swimmers with out an ID will have once passed out to them outside of the REC center prior to gaining access to the building.

See you guys tonight,

Coach Jason
