Parents - Our practice for tomorrow will be combined 5:00 - 6:15 pm for Group 1. We will be doing some fun relays and holiday fun sets for the kiddos. I posted this on the blog last week and thought an email went out but have had a couple parents ask this week about the practice plan. We will be passing out some "incentive/ reward" treats during practice if you wouldn't like your swimmer to get candy please let coach May know prior to practice.

A couple changes for next week.

Wednesday November 3rd - practice will be all group 1's 4:45 - 5:30 for some turn/dive work. There will be an intramural meet at 5:30 pm so no practice will be held after 5:30 pm. All group 1's who normally swim on Wednesday will be at the earlier time. 

Friday November 5th - No practice for all groups due to the RICE vs Miami swim meet at the pool. Due to this change swimmers are allowed to attend one practice this next week on a non-traditional day but must stay in the same time period. For example: If you are T,TH,F 5:30 - 6:15 you can attend a M or W practice that week. (Please read the above Wednesday announcement when making these plans)

Just a reminder to check the blog daily as alot of info on the team and swimming in general is posted daily.

See you guys at the pool,

If you are planning to come to the dinner at the home of Cedar Baldridge, 2111 Bolsover, on Thursday, please drop her an email at cedar@baldridgelandscape.com and let her know you plan to come.  We need a fairly accurate count since we are picking up pizza from Star Pizza.  Seth has indicated he will be there, and the other Rice coaches have been invited, too.  We have about 20 responses so far, so it will be a good time!

Thanks!
