Weekly Update 9/14/2014

Good afternoon!

We have our 3^rd dual meet against Aracdia High School on Thursday. It is at El Dorado Pool which is located near Thomas and Miller (2301 N. Miller Rd
Scottsdale, AZ 85257).  Again, everyone will be traveling to this meet but not everyone will be swimming. We will meet in the usual location. Please wear your polos to school! Make sure you bring your swim stuff because we will warm up together (hopefully we won’t be late this time!). Also, the coaches would like to see more spirit and enthusiasm during the meet, while your teammates are competing.

This Saturday, we have our first swimming invitational in Chandler. Divers will be competing during the week. We wish the best of luck to Kaitlyn and Blaise! The following swimmers will be attending the meet on Saturday:

Please meet at the school at 5:45 am. It is going to be a VERY long & hot day. Come prepared with the following: a chair, a to-go breakfast (if you don’t want to eat when you wake up), water/Gatorade, brown bag lunch, lots of snacks and sunscreen. There will be a snack bar so bring cash as well! You may bring a racing suit, as long as it is FINA approved (we can ask an official). Also, no bikinis and no deck changing. Meet starts at 9:00 AM and probably won’t finish until late afternoon. Parents, if you would like to attend (highly recommended), it is located at Chandler High School.

Other reminder: progress reports come out this week and I will be checking grades. If you need any help, please come me and I will help you or direct you to someone who can. Academics come first! 

We are having an EXCELLENT season so far. The coaches are seeing small (or big) improvements every week! This week’s meets are a chance to set the tone for the state championships in November. Have fun and be confident in your abilities to compete like you never have before! Your coaches and your team believe in you! Go Pioneers!
