Parents/Swimmers/ Master Swimmers - As you may know RICE is hosting a 10 and Under meet next weekend. This is a great chance to show off our facility we use every day and our great swim team. The meet has grown considerably in size and we are in need of a few items from each group. In order to keep our volunteer staff, coaches and visiting coaches, and officials hydrated we will need each practice group to bring the following to the pool. Please plan on dropping off your drink next week Monday - Wednesday during your practice times. We will be storing these in the classroom near the pool or in our waiting area adjacent to the pool. Thank you guys for stepping up to make this a great experience for everyone.


Group 1 - 12 pack of cokes


Group 2 - 12 pack of Dr Pepper


Group 3 - Pack of Water or Gatorade


Group 4 - Pack of G2 Gatorades


Seniors - Pack of G2 Gatorades


Masters - Pack of water.


See you at the pool,


Coach Jason

Thank You

Master Swimmers- I have attached Thank You's from the coaching staff who received your thoughtful gift over that last week.

Hey Master Swimmers

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for the awesome gift. What a great surprise! I'm pretty sure I can find something nice to spend it on! Yall are such an awesome group to work with - it makes my job a lot of fun. You guys are always willing to push yourselves physically and try something new (and possibly uncomfortable) during workouts. I have really enjoyed getting to you all and look forward to more great times at the pool! Thanks again for everything.

Dear Team,
Thank you so much for the gift card from all of you. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness and was touched that you would put so much time and effort into giving and organizing this. I really love coaching the Master's team at Rice and getting to know you has been a real pleasure. While I try to come up with challenges to meet your skill sets, you guys never fail to challenge me in return by meeting my expectations and by supporting my coaching efforts. I am so fortunate to be a part of this experience. Thank you again for the gift card. See you around the deck!

Sincerely,
Chris

Dear Master Swimmers,

Thank you so much for your consideration and efforts in collecting the Christmas in April gifts to myself and the other coaches. I know you pay for our services and do not have to give the coaches a gift, but that makes it all the more special. Honestly most of my coaching highlights of the day are working with you all. I look forward to seeing you all at the pool.

Master Swimmers,

I wanted to send out a big thank you to everyone involved with the coaches gifts we received this past week. All of us appreciate the effort and generosity it took to get something like that together. While my time is mostly spent with the Age Groupers I enjoy working with you guys when I get the chance. It is very rewarding to see all of you progress as swimmers in the pool in the short time I have been with RICE. Even with a little chilly weather this year everyone always shows up with a smile on their face and a "thank you" when practice is over. That alone makes working with you guys great.

See you at the pool,
Jason
