More City Meet Information

Good afternoon everyone (Coach Kirsten here)!

I hope you all are excited for Saturday. I know all the coaches are.

It looks like the 8 & unders and 9/10 boys will be in the morning session and the 9/10 girls and 11 & ups in the afternoon session.

Warm-ups for the morning session will be between 7am and 7:45am. The afternoon warm up session will not start prior to Noon, but it depends on when the morning session begins. We will have a more specific time by tomorrow night at the latest. 

Coach Molly will post the events everyone is swimming tonight. Be aware that the relays are not set in stone, and may change. 


If you would like to see where your child is seeded, the psych sheet is posted on the Memphis Thunder webpage (link below). For those of you new to swimming, a psych sheet shows what place everyone would come in if everyone swims the exact time they are entered in. It also gives the order of the events. The other thing this site will have on the day of the meet is live results from each race.

If you would like a heat sheet, they will be for sale at the meet on Saturday.

DON'T FORGET... PRACTICE at St. George's will be tomorrow (Friday the 27th) from 5pm-6pm. This is a great time to come and see the pool and practice starts, finishes, and turns!

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with one of us. 

Interested in swimming Memphis Tigers?

 This is from Carla Mabie:

‎Memphis Tiger SwimmingTryouts for Fall 2012 will be Tues August 7th and Weds August 8th 2012 at 4:00 pm. Coaches will be at the pool ready to meet and evaluate swimmers and Tiger Board members will be available to help new parents register and answer questions.

Friday practice TIME CHANGE!!!

We have been asked to swim from 5 - 6pm on Friday at St George's. Sorry for the inconvenience!!!
I hope you all can make it then! I know that might be a struggle for some of you that work til 5. Maybe some car pooling might help?

City Meet information

We will have a practice at St George's on Friday evening from 6 - 7pm. I'd like everyone to come to this important practice. It will give the swimmers a chance to "try out" the pool and to practice starting off the blocks there. The pool is large and can be a little overwhelming if they have never been there before.


Here is some important information about the City Meet on Saturday, July 28:

START TIMES: Warm-ups for the morning session begin at 7 am and end at 7:45.  Meet start time is 8 am.  Afternoon session warm-ups will not begin before noon and the afternoon session will not begin before 1 pm.  Division of participants between morning and afternoon sessions will not be determined until after all entries are received.

Here is how you mark your swimmer:

Here is a map of St George's



I'll post the entries tomorrow.

Although we lost last night, I was very proud of how our swimmers competed! You all did a FANTASTIC job! We had numerous BEST TIMES!!
And a special congrats to our TRIPLE WINNERS!!!

HERE are the results.

Now it's on to our last meet of the season - the City Meet on July 28th. It's our last chance to "shine" as a team. This last week of practice is very important. Please make every effort to be at every practice. If you have to come early because of a camp - please do!!!!

I hope everyone filled out the meet entry form so you can get a t-shirt!

Keep checking back here for information about this meet.

Have a great weekend everyone! See you on Monday at practice.

COLONIAL IS COMING TO RHODES!

Dear Parents & Swimmers,

Here is the Combined Heat Sheet for our last dual meet of the season... duel would work, too!

We are having a home meet with many of our swimmers competing out of town, so we definitely need all hands on deck. If you are one of the parents relaxing on the sidelines and declining or sidestepping volunteering while other parents make it possible for your child to swim, you'll need to reconsider community service for this meet. We are going to be very, very short-handed.

And many, many thanks to those parents who consistently and eagerly pitch in without even being asked!

Warm ups begin at 5. Meet begins at 6.

Swim & Have Fun!

Racquet Club results

Congratulations to everyone on a fantastic meet last night! Another WIN for Rhodes Lynx!!!
A special thanks goes out to all you parents that step up to help. We could not have such a great team without you!
Carla Mabee was rockin it as our starter last night! She won't be here next Thursday (our last home meet) so if someone would like to volunteer for that important role, just shoot me, or Sarah Hodges an email.

HERE are the results from the meet. Many of you keep dropping time - CONGRATS!!! It's all about your hard work and consistent effort in practice.

We only have TWO more weeks of practice until our big City Meet! These are probably the most important practices of the whole summer!!!

We will have more information on the City Meet as the time gets closer. If you know that you will not be able to attend the meet, make sure you sign the book - or email or text me.

Results: Racquet Club at Rhodes

Wonderful meet, great weather!

Fun time was had by all.

Thanks so much for the families who offered to pitch in.

If your family has not volunteered this season, please step up to the plate!

We will have a lot of families out of town for a year round meet.

The last sign up sheet is stapled to a larger red sheet to reduce the probabilities of being misplaced.

Racquet Club comes to Rhodes

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July! Coming back for our second to last meet, we have the combined heat sheet. Somehow over the break, however, the volunteer work crew sign up sheet walked away from the famous notebook on the usual table. Home meets require all hands on deck. Ack!

Camille Gamble does a fantastic job of shopping and chopping, but sometimes she and her family handle set up, sales, and packing up. Not totally, of course, she has enthusiastic helpers, but she should never be alone! Be quick to pitch in flipping burgers, swapping pizza for cash, or putting away unused inventory.

Also, Tracy Word & I have already spent a good deal of time getting ready for tomorrow night - combining heat sheets, communicating with Rhodes and the Racquet Club, not to mention searching in vain for the missing work crew sheets. So, yep, we're begging! Please be quick to find us when  you walk through the gate and offer to help, so we can fill up all the slots. Also, if you're working the second session, please take the initiative to listen for Event 44 and introduce yourself to the person you're taking over for.

Rhodes has a great team spirit, so let's go all out on deck and around the concession stand tomorrow!

See you at 5 ready for warm ups!

Swim & Have Fun!

P.S. You may need to park on the east side of the pool depending on the construction on the west side.

Weather reminder

Hey all!
I hope you all had a great 4th of July and long weekend!!!!

Just to remind you that we do swim if it is only raining. Practice will be canceled if it is lightening and thundering.

We have a home meet this Thursday. YAY!!!

See you all at the pool!

Coach Molly

fun at the pool on July 4th, 2012
