IMPORTANT
INFORMATION FOR RHODES SUMMER SWIM TEAM!!!
Parent Representatives – Katy Leopard (kmleopard@gmail.com) and Camille Gamble (auburn92@gmail.com)
Twitter - @rhodeslynx
I want to welcome to all our returning swimmers and
parents, as well as our new swimmers and parents! The other coaches and I are looking forward
to a great summer! There is some
important information for all of you below, so please take the time to look
through it.
New Swimmers: It is a requirement that your child can swim one length of the pool, some form of freestyle and face in the water (no doggy paddling), without holding onto the side.
This blog will be how we communicate with you. Any information we need to get to you
(especially if practice is cancelled due to a thunderstorm) will be distributed
through this medium, so check it often. The
meet schedule is also posted on the blog. There will be no emails.
In addition, our twitter account will show the same information and is
sometimes faster as far as cancellations go. If you have a twitter account,
please follow us.
We will be trying something different this
summer. Instead of signing the book for
which meets you will miss, you will instead sign up for the meets you will
compete in. Starting the first week of
practice, there will be a roster with everyone’s name and you will check the
meets that your child will be at. IF YOU
DO NOT INDICATE YOU WILL BE HERE, YOUR CHILD WILL NOT BE ENTERED INTO THE MEET! For USS swimmers, Lori Patterson has volunteered to be our parent liaison, so please let her know which meets you will be at (or feel free to text me), and she will let me
know so we make sure your swimmers are in the meet.
Parents, please sign up to work the meets. We cannot run the meets without you and we have lots of jobs at the home meets and away meets. If you know you want something specific sign up early. Please sign up for something at every meet.
Our last meet is the City Meet on July 27. We need EVERYONE
to participate!
PRACTICE WILL BEGIN MAY 28 and are Mondays - Thursdays. Practice times listed
below:
8-9am – 9 and 10s and Camp Lane
8:45-10am – 11 and ups
10-10:40am – 8 and unders
8:45-10am – 11 and ups
10-10:40am – 8 and unders
Please do not forget to get your swimmer a pair of fins. They will need them. The younger kids especially will use them often. You can get them through All-American, who also provides our suits, and will be at practice May 28 and June 3, or swimoutlet.com. Please make sure your child's name is on both fins.
Our goals for the summer are:
1. Stroke instruction and improvement
2. Time improvement
3. Good sportsmanship with teammates and opponents
4. HAVE FUN!!!!!
