RICE University Swimmer Looking for Summer Opportunity

My name is Alex O’Brien and I am going to be a senior on the Rice swim team. I am majoring in Environmental Engineering and Environmental Studies with a minor in Sustainability. I am interested in going to law school after graduation with a specific interest in patent law. I would be interested in gaining exposure to any related field and gaining knowledge in other areas as well. I would like to stay in Houston this summer to train so would also be open to anything.

CFSC Swim Meet

Parents - I am passing on this from the meet director for the CFSC meet. The meet will be strict on the circle in policy regardless of traffic, transportation from the parking lot and etc. Please arrive EXTRA early to accommodate for any possible scenario. The coaching staff will not be able to pull away from Warm Ups to circle swimmers in for the meet. 


I have also added sign ups for parents bringing tents for the meet. I would guess we could use 3-4 pop up tents for parent seating. These most likely will be set up in a grassy area closest to the parking lot. The coaching staff will have a tent set up poolside for coaches and swimmers (as many as can fit). The meet is going to be large and most likely go past the timeline so make sure to bring the essentials. Water, Food and snacks, extra towels, games to play, chair and sunscreen.

 Please have your swimmers at the pool in time for circle in.   We do not have room at the pool for people to park.  The swimmers will need to be dropped off and then the parents need to park at the elementary school and take a shuttle to the pool.  Please let your swimmers and parents know that they will need to give themselves extra time for this and come to the pool early.  With over 500 children swimming per day, circling in will take time.  With the new circle in procedures, I can't express enough the importance of showing up early.


Coach Kyle will be at the meet on Saturday and I will be there on Sunday.
