Coaches Update 10/13

I Would like to start by saying thank you to all of the parents who helped with timing this past week! Without you it would be hard to run a swim meet successfully!! We had two fun meets last week starting with Saguaro and then ending Saturday night with the SNF Invite. The athletes had a lot of fun at both meets, especially the SNF Invite.. there was quite a bit of dancing going on in between their events! I think this helped by keeping them warn and also helping them warmup for their events! :)

Here is our schedule for this week: Monday is our mandatory practice as we have a meet against Liberty on Tuesday. Please remember that everyone has to be at PHS no later than 2:30 to catch the bus to the meet. After the meet we will be celebrating our seniors with pizza and drinks. 

Thursday is our annual pasta party which will be hosted by the Tatman's. A big thank you to the Tatman's for opening their home to the team!

Friday is our District meet at Foothills Aquatic Center. Warm up for this meet is 5:30PM and meet start time is 6:05PM. So, as you can see.. we have a bit of a busy schedule this week.

Once again, I will be asking for volunteers from our fabulous parents to help with timing for our meet against Liberty on Tuesday and we also have to supply our own timers for the District Meet. Please let any of the coaches know if you would be willing to help us at either meet or both meets if possible. Thank you in advance for your help.

October 25th we would like to go to Castle & Coasters to do the Team Building Rope Course. The cost for this would be $18.75 per individual. We would like to get as many of you as possible to do this. This would be a fun night to relax and have fun doing this agility course and then hanging out after and riding the roller coaster and enjoying all the fun activities that are provided by C&C. If you would like to attend please have your money to us no later than Wednesday. Thanks!

STRENGTH does not come from winning. Your struggles DEVELOP your strengths. When you go through HARDSHIPS AND DECIDE not to surrender, THAT IS STRENGTH.

IT'S OUR TIME!

See you on deck,

Your Coaches

Coach Update - 10/7/2013

Hi to all,

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and got a lot of rest because we are now into our second half of the swim & dive season and we will be very busy for the next several weeks. 

This week we have a home meet against Saguaro on Thursday and the Saturday Night Fever Invite on Saturday night! The coaches will go over all information regarding both of these meets this Wednesday at mandatory practice.

Also, Wednesday is our team picture night. For those of you who are planning on having individual pics taken.. please arrive no later than 6:15PM.. and everyone else please be on time at 6:30PM. Please wear your team suits!!

We are in need of a few things this week from parents. For our home meet we will need 12 timers along with a head timer and a runner to pick up the timer sheets..so a total of 14 of you lovely parents to help out with this would be terrific. 

We also need to have two timers for the SNF Invite for Saturday night. Please let me know who would be available to help with this so I can add your names to the list of timers for the invitational. Those who would like to help with this have free admission to the invite.

Whew.. I think that's everything! :)

FAILURE: It can destroy you or make you really mad that you WORK EVEN HARDER to become the WINNERS YOU KNOW YOU ARE!

IT'S OUR TIME!

Enjoy,

Your Coaches
