SWIM WITH THE TIGERS!

Dear Parents,

The Rhodes Swim Team participates in the Memphis Summer Swim League. If your swimmer is ready to take their talent to the next level, Tigers is holding an open house next Monday & Tuesday at the U of M pool. Come check it out!

The website is memphistigerswimming.com.

End of season awards

If you missed the party last weekend, you can pick up your awards from Tracy Word.
Her email address is:
fivewords at bellsouth dot net

Contact her and let her know when you want to stop by to pick them up! :-)

I hope you are enjoying the end of your summer!

Have a great school year and I'll see you all back at Rhodes next summer!!!!

Coach Molly

Thanks!

Thank you to everyone for a great end of the season picnic/awards night! I'm sorry we had to get out of the pool early - darn thunder!!!!

Here are the "official" results from the City Meet. It's 63 pages, so you probably don't want to print it off!!!!

I had a great summer and I hope you all did too! I know there are always things we can improve on, so if you have any suggestions for next summer, please let me know!

I hope you will all keep swimming during the winter. There are many opportunities to join teams in the Memphis area. Obviously, we LOVE the Tigers Swim Team that practices at University of Memphis, but there are other programs too. We saw the Thunder Team in action at the City Meet (they are the ones who hosted the meet); Bartlett Rec Center has a team; Germantown has a team; there is a small team in Cordova (called Dova Swim Team). So lots of teams for you to choose from! :-)

For those of you in Middle School, there is a swim league for you too! You get to compete against other Middle Schools in the Memphis area.

What ever you decide to do, I hope you will come back to Rhodes next summer for another round of summer swimming with us!!!

Love to you all

Coach Molly

Marking your swimmer

Here is the information (with a picture) on how to mark your swimmer. This will help the clerk of course get your swimmer to the correct heat and lane!

Tomorrow - Friday - we will practice at St George's in the evening to help us get used to their pool. All 10 and younger swimmers will practice from 5 - 6pm and the 11 & up swimmers will practice from 6 - 7 pm

I'm hoping they will have heat sheets for sale tomorrow night, if not you will need to buy one on Saturday morning. The cost is $5.00

IMPORTANT - some of the relays have been switched around, so check this out!!!

You will find your swimmers events HERE

You can also see the "psych sheet" HERE

The heat sheets will be for sale for $5.00 at the meet on Saturday and hopefully at Friday nights practice.

Remember to "tag" your swimmer with their first initial and last name on the back of their right shoulder. This helps the clerk of course line up the right kids in the right heats/lanes.
