Strength Training


Hi to everyone!

Just wanted to send a quick reminder that we will begin strength training on July 8th at the PHS weight room. We will meet Monday through Thursday from 4:00-5:00PM. I'm very excited to inform you that your coaches have partnered with the Center for Athletic Performance and Physical Therapy. Their conditioning coaches have put together an amazing strength training program for you that is geared especially for swimmers!

This is mandatory for all athletes who plan on swimming for PHS ...

News from Coach Laura - Meeting May 15th and Summer Strength Training


Hi PHS swimmers,

I hope all of you are doing well and I'm sure all of you are ready for the school year to be over! I know I am! :) I wanted to touch base to let you know that there will be a team meeting on May 15th during your lunch time. We will be discussing training over the summer and I will also be introducing to you the new assistant swim coach.

I'm hoping by the time we meet on the 15th that I will have our meet schedule. We will start swim practice on August 12th. I have not been given our practice time as of yet. Again, I'm hoping to have that information for you on the 15th. I also wanted to let you know that we will start strength training and cardio training July 8th. We will be meeting Monday-Thursday from 4:00-5:30PM in the PHS weight room for the month of July. This is mandatory. I know many of you may be traveling & vacationing during the month of July and that's great and I have no problem with this. However, if you're in town you will be expected to be in the weight room with your team. If you're a club swimmer you do not need to be there unless you have the free time and want a little more training time in the gym. 

This is something that the PHS swim team hasn't done before.. but I feel strength training is an integral part of our training and you will feel the benefits of this once we're in the pool August 12th. I'm really looking forward to this part of the training with the team and I can't wait to get started!! :) We will talk more about this at our meeting on the 15th.

If you're receiving this email and you are either graduating or not planning on swimming with the team next season.. please let me know and I will remove you from the email list. Thanks for your help with this. 

I look forward to seeing all of you on the 15th!!

Enjoy,
Coach Laura

2012 Fundraiser


TO: PHS SWIM AND DIVE FAMILIES


RE: 2012 FUNDRAISER

This year the Captains have decided to try a new venue for fundraising.  The attached forms will tell you more, but the idea is that each swimmer asks family and friends to sponsor them and their swim program.
By partnering with eTeamSponsor.com, we have a tried and true group working with us to raise funds for the team efficiently and hassle-free.  These are the steps to take:

1. Each swimmer enters logs on to eTeamSponsor.com through the link that was sent to their PVlearners account. 
2. They are asked to enter 12 email addresses of friends and family worldwide that can afford to sponsorship.
3. A letter explaining the fundraiser is sent to the emails, it is from the swimmer and there is a link to sponsor.
4. There are 3 more letters that are sent as reminders over the course of 1 month, and at the end of that time nothing more is sent. 
5. If someone does donate, they receive a 100% TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATION letter and a THANK YOU from the swimmer.

There is much more information in the handouts attached to the email you received.  Please read everything before your swimmer logs on so that you are aware of the program.  

There will be incentives for the swimmers and divers to enter in their email addresses, for the most money raised and so forth.  

Please help your kids by supporting them and giving them ideas of who to contact.  Take a minute to remember all the different groups and fundraisers you have personally supported and get those people on your list!  Every donation, from $10 to $100, helps our team with the many expenses that we have.

The kids need to input 12 emails by Tuesday, September 18. They should of all received the email on their pvlearners account on Thursday, with the instructions. 

Good luck to everyone and let's get started!
