Spring Re-Registration Reminder

Parents - Just a reminder that the spring re-registration event will be closing December the 10th. All swimmers who will be continuing into the spring will need to click the event and choose "attend this event" prior to the deadline. It is important to keep our billing schedule straight and bring in new swimmers off of the waiting lists and on-going evaluations that all swimmers select to commit or not commit from the event page. If you are having any difficulty doing so from your computer catch me at the pool and I can help you on my laptop in the office.

Please note that if you choose not to continue for the spring session any outstanding balances must be payed through auto-pay on Jan 1st. or by check prior to December 17th.


Thanks for all you guys do and see you at the pool,
Coach Jason

Mardi Gras Meet

Parents - We have had a great response to the Mardi Gras meet at the end of January. As a result we are making this an official meet for RICE. I am getting all of the details together in a PDF including the hotel room block and will have it out on Wednesday Dec. 1st. At this time I will clear everyone who has signed up for this inquiry of the meet and make a new event for the actual event sign up. We will complete entries from the new event sign up. This will be posted on Wednesday with the PDF attached to the event. I am going to need some parents to help with goodie bags for swimmers attending the meet. We will have a travel shirt and would love to have some mardi gras themed trinkets or decorations for the kids during the parade around the pool.

See you at the pool,
Coach Jason

Group 1 Navy December Session

Parents - I just wanted to clarify the extended session for Group 1. We are assuming all swimmers will continue into the extended session unless you email otherwise. There is no need to sign up if you are continuing into December. There will be a SPRING session sign up coming up shortly.

Please email me if you have any questions,

RICE Aquatics - Private Swim Lessons

Parents - I have had many people inquire over the last few weeks about Private Lessons with one of the coaches from RICE Aquatics. RICE coaches do offer private lessons to swimmers on the team at a rate of $40 per half hour. If you are wanting to schedule a lesson please email 1on1swimlessons@riceaquatics.com . Please include your swimmers name, group name, practice time, preference of lesson coach, and any time restraints you have in regards to scheduling. Any questions can be sent to my email address if needed. The coaching staff uses the private lessons to reinforce skills being taught in practice or go more in depth on a one on one basis.
