Weekly Update 8/24/2014

Good morning!

I hope everyone is having a fun and relaxing weekend.  The amount of hard work being put in and out of the water has been great! Let’s keep it up! On Wednesday, I was very excited to see the team, as a whole, looking so strong and powerful. I’m sure Andrew can say the same for the divers! All the small details count towards achieving individual and team goals; whether it is giving 100% (not 95%) on fast swims or focusing on doing a perfect turn/dive. These first few weeks of the season are a crucial time for making sure technique and speed are a high quality.

A couple of things for the good of the order:

  • Picture day CHANGE…Instead of having our picture day this Wednesday, we will be having it on Wednesday September 10th. Please come to the pool at 5:30 pm to take individual pictures and then we will follow up with the team picture.

  • We have 4 Invitationals (for limited swimmers and divers) scheduled for the following dates:

Wolves Invite at Chandler High School:
Boys Diving: Tuesday, Sept. 16th
Girls Diving: Wednesday Sept 17                                                                                        
All swimming: Saturday September 20th
Brophy/Xavier Invite at the NEW Brophy Aquatics Facility (really excited about this!):
All swimming and diving: Saturday October 4th

AMDG Invite at Brophy Aquatics Facility
This is on November 1st
More information on this one to come!  

District Meet - TBA

  • We have 13 families who have still not paid the booster fee. Make checks payable to Pinnacle Swim & Dive Boosters. I am checking with the finance office for unpaid sports fee ($200). All fees are due by September 2nd or you are in jeopardy of not competing on September 4th.

  • ATTENDANCE: In the first couple of weeks, I have noticed everyone is still sorting of their schedules and routines, but starting this week I must receive communication, in advance, from every swimmer regarding any practice they miss. To achieve our individual and team goals, I expect attendance at every practice.

See you on deck!

Coach Paige
