Missing some shoes?

In all the craziness last night, two pairs of shoes were left under our tent. I will bring them to practice on Monday, and leave them in the back room of the guard shack if no one claims them.

If you weren't there, the meet against Racquet Club was cancelled due to storms.

Our next meet is July 11 at Rhodes against Germantown Country Club!

Next week we have normal practice on Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday we'll have one practice from 9-10 for all ages. Come dressed in your best 4th of July outfit. Best dressed wins a prize! And no practice on the 4th of July (or meet).

See everyone next week!

Practice Schedule for the week of July 4th

Hey everyone!

First, I want to say congratulations to our Guppy Meet swimmers. They helped Rhodes get 3rd overall and Sam Tremaine and Gray Nix tied for 2nd place High Point winner for the 9/10 Boys. Great job everyone!

Now, for practices next week:

Monday and Tuesday will be our normal practice times.

Wednesday July 3 there will only be ONE PRACTICE from 9 am - 10 am
This practice will be for everyone! We're going to have a major game day! We encourage you to come dressed up in your best 4th of July/Red, White, and Blue outfit. This winner will get a prize! In addition, we'll have other prizes for our relay winners. This is one of the most fun practices, so whether you have a 5 year old or a 15 year old, we hope to see your child there.

There will be NO practice on July 4th (and no meet either).

I'll remind everyone this week and next, and probably post a reminder next week.

Coach Kirsten

Guppy Meet Heat Sheet!!!

Here is the heat sheet for Sunday's Guppy Meet. No heat sheets will be sold or available at the meet. So make sure you print it off before coming to the meet. 

Here is what those who are entered are swimming.

The Y closes the pool at 5:45 pm, so plan to arrive between then and 6 pm. We will start warm ups at 6:15 pm and begin the meet as close to 6:30 pm as possible. You may park in the Y lot. 

Bring folding chairs to sit in! 

Look for the coaches for where to sit. We really need to sit all together (there are 192 swimmers entered). Most of the deck should be in shade by 6 pm though, so that's good!

A concession stand will be available- cash only. 

Each swimmer will receive a t-shirt, although sizes cannot be guaranteed. There will be a table for distribution- swimmers may go and pick up a shirt any time during the meet.

Ribbons and trophies will be distributed after the meet, so if you get any, I will give them to you at practice on Monday. Ribbons will given for 1st-16th place and standard breaker ribbons will be given if you go faster than the time set.

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to call or email me. 

Coach Kirsten

Windyke Meet Results!

Great job tonight everyone!!!

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that the times on tonight's heat sheet were yards times, and the pool we swam in was a meter pool.

That means that most of you actually dropped a lot of time!!!!!

Many of our swimmers had best times tonight in at least one event, if not all the events they swam tonight! This includes the 11 and ups as well! All that hard work we do at practice is paying off!!! And we're only half way through the season!

That being said, no score was announced at tonight's meet, but triple winners were!

So without further ado, our triple winners for the evening were:
Meredith Brittain
Holden Smythe
Madeleine Hays
Seamus Fitzhenry

See everyone at practice next week!!!

Coach Kirsten

Here are the swimmers events for the swim meet tonight.

Thursday June 13th Meet Volunteer Workcrew Assignments!

Both Camille and Katy will be out of town for the meet this week so we need everyone to step in and help.  A big thank you to Barbara Jennings for stepping in as League Rep for the meet!  We NEED a starter if you are interested email me and I will tell you what it entails.

Below are the work crew assignments for this week's meet.  This is a home meet so there are more jobs and we still have a few empty spots so PLEASE email me (kmleopard@gmail.com) if you can help out.  It takes a village to pull off a home meet and seriously ANYONE can do these jobs - it is not rocket science.  Also, everyone is assigned to help with clean up so that we all get home at a decent hour. 

THANKS and GO RHODES!
