Summer Swimming is HERE!!!

I am looking forward to coaching THE BEST SWIM TEAM this summer!!!

For those of you who missed the Kick-off Party, here is what was discussed:
     1. Practice will begin May 29th at our regular practice times: 9 & 10's 8:00 - 9:00am, 11 & up 8:45 - 10:00am, and 8 & unders 10:00 - 10:45am
     2. The last week of June we will be having practice in the evening. Times TBA
     3. Equipment: all swimmers need goggles (maybe two pair!), fins, practice cap - or hair tie for the girls
     4. Volunteer: Each family needs to volunteer to help out at our meets. There will be a notebook at practice where you can sign up, if you didn't already at the kick-off party
     5. Absent: If you will be missing a swim meet due to family vacations, please sign the book as far in advance as possible! That helps us out with our meet entries, especially the relays! Thanks!!!
     6. Old equipment: If you have any old fins or suits that you would like to donate to new swimmers, please bring them to practice
     7. Swim lessons: all the coaches and lifeguards are available to teach lessons or give extras help to all our swim team members and families. Just ask!

Our goal for this team is to make better swimmers! We use a lot of stroke/technique drills to help each of the swimmers improve. We also use repeating sets to help build up their endurance and to get them faster.
It's always fun to watch all the swimmers get faster each meet and see how much they have improved from the beginning of the summer to the end!
We also want our swimmers to be show good sportsmanship to each other and opponents. We cheer for and encourage our teammates during practice and meets.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at btwcoach@gmail.com

Thanks!

See you at the pool!!!
