updated heat sheet!

I know this might be too late for some of you but, the updated heat sheet with "combos" can be found HERE


Also - this is a message from the Colonial Swim Team:

Hello Rhodes swimmers!

Just wanted to let you know that our buffet will be available tonight for your team/family and it will be cash only. We will not have the ability to take credit cards tonight. Also, there will be a cash bar available. Can you share this with your team?

Thanks so much and best of luck!

See you all at 5:00pm at Colonial Country Club!

Heat Sheet

A BIG Meet tomorrow night at Colonial. They have some fast swimmers, so it's going to be a great meet for us!!!!

You can find the heat sheet HERE.

They have a grassy area to set up tents if you would like to bring yours. They will also have concessions like we do - hamburgers, pizza, etc...

See you all at the pool!

Guppy Meet

After a discussion with the other coaches, we decided to go ahead and take any swimmers who want to go to the Guppy Meet. The meet will be held on July 10 at 6:30pm at the Ric Nuber Y. It costs $25 per swimmer. The money will be due Tuesday, July 5th at practice (cash or check).

This meet is for swimmers aged 10 and younger. Swimmers ages 7, 8, 9 and 10 may only enter the events if his/her times are slower than the standard breaker times listed for that event. All 6 and under swimmers may participate unless they received a high point trophy at the 2010 City Meet.

You can swim as many events as you want. This is a good time to "try out" a new event.

The information about the meet is HERE.
The time standards for the meet are HERE
And the swimmers best times so far this summer (in yard times) are HERE

Let me know if you have any questions.

Tuesday practice cancelled

The wonderful sound of thunder....
So, obviously no practice this morning. It looks like we are in for some much needed rain and a little cooler temperatures!

See you all tomorrow!
Coach Molly

Woo Hoo Another Win!

Congrats swimmers on a fine meet last night!!!

Here are the official times for each swimmer. I think I am missing two swimmers times who were not in lanes 1, 3, or 5. We will try and track those down ASAP!

Again, thanks to all the parents who continue to make our home meets successful. We could not do it without you!!!

If you did not get your new red Rhodes Swim Team shirt last night, Tracy Word will be at practice with the shirts on Tuesday and Wednesday next week and you can pick it up! They look fantastic! Thanks to the Rone family for getting those for us!!!!

Again, thanks everyone! I am so proud of all our swimmers. You all are swimming so fast for this early in the summer! I can't wait to see how we do at the City Meet on July 23rd!!!!

Have a restful weekend!

Coach Molly

The work crew assignments are here. Please check in with me at the beginning of the meets so I'll know you're on location and aware of your assignment. We always need floaters who are willing to fill in for parents who have last minute logistical issues. Also, I need an announcer for the second half plus someone to run water around to the judges and timers 4 times during the meet. Thanks for being an active part of the infrastructure! Warm ups start at 5 pm.
Swim & Have Fun!
Sarah PH

Your help is needed!!!

I have a young man named Joshua, not sure of his last name. I have no form with that name on it, so he is not entered in our database yet. Does anyone know this boy? He is in the 6 & under age group.
Also, does anyone know about Jacob and Lauren Tims? Lauren was at practice this morning, but since she is in the 7 & 8 age group, she could not tell me much information. They do not have a registration form either and are not in our database for the meet on Thursday.
If you know anything about these swimmers, please email me at btwcoach@gmail.com
Thanks!!!!
Coach Molly

Suits, Heat Sheets, & Meets

1. Suits - Check with me (Sarah) tomorrow about suits. I still have a few from the main order. Swim & Tri said orders for McLean, Burnette, Tims, McGhee, Rone, Reinhart, Gettings, Kannaday, Leopard, & Rogers should be shipped directly to your home. If I receive any shipments, I will bring them to the pool the next day. I should be able to catch all three workouts at the pool from 8:30 to 10:30. We also have a new in the box boys size 28 jammer with logo for sale $50. If anyone needs one, please see me at the pool.

2. Heat sheets - Heat sheets will be posted on the blog either late, late Wednesday evening or sometime before noon on Thursday. Heat sheets are printed for the scorers, timers, and shepherds, etc. plus we will have one posted for you to mark your swimmer(s). Otherwise you will probably want to print one to for your family to refer to during the meet.

3. Work crew - Several slots are still open for the meet. Find your niche on deck, at the scoring table or behind the concessions stand. See me (Sarah) tomorrow for specific jobs or to register as a floater. If a family has a swimmer in the meet, then at least one parent needs to take an active part in the infrastructure making that meet run smoothly. However, we totally understand if a family has one parent traveling and the remaining parent has multiple siblings who need attention, a grandparent is stepping in, etc.

4. Notification delays - Several of us have noticed a huge time lag between the blog post and the email notifications. Thursdays you may need to check the blog directly to access the heat sheet before you come to the meet with or without a notification. Also, if any weather related issues come up, check the blog to see if anything has posted. Generally, unless the sirens go off or the rain is pelting down, plan to come to the pool.

Swim & Have Fun!

Suits are here!

If you ordered a suit, please find me in the shade at practice Tues or Wed if I didn't catch you already today. Caps are $5. We have a choice of red or black. Sarah PH

Reminder

If you have not filled out the registration form and paid your swim team fees, please bring it to practice tomorrow so we can get your swimmers in our first meet on Thursday!!!
Go Rhodes Lynx!!!

Great First Week!

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to say - "Way to Go" to all our new Rhodes Swimmers. You all did a great job this week at practice. I know it can be very confusing, exciting, scary, and fun (hopefully) all at the same time! But YOU DID IT! Now the rest of the season will be a breeze!

Thank you to all the parents who helped us get some times for the kids. We appreciated you so much!!!

Lastly, just a reminder that if you are going to miss a meet, please post it in the notebook that will be out every practice on one of the round tables by the guardhouse. That will help us make the relays and other entries correctly!!!

Thanks!

Coach Molly
