Job Sign Ups for Miami vs RICE meet

Parents- There are two job sign ups up on the RICE website for the Miami vs RICE meet tomorrow at the pool. This is an easy way to earn service hours and gain experience operating the timing systems prior to a RICE meet.

Friday Practice

Reminder- That there is no Friday practice due to the RICE vs Miami meet at 4:00 pm.

Practice Reminder for Today

Parents/Swimmers - A reminder that ALL Groups will swim 4:45-5:30 pm today and will work on turns. There is an intramural meet at 5:30 pm. No practices will be held after 5:30 pm.

No Practice Friday

There will be No Practice for all group on Friday due to the RICE vs. Miami meet at 4:00 pm. and the 9-14 Junior Meet @ KATY. With this being an official college meet we will need back up timers through out the meet.

Because Group 1 has a combined practice on Friday's we will allow a group one swimmer to swim on one opposite day this week from their current schedule. Swimmers must remain in the same practice time for this practice.

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,
