FROM COACH LAURA

I wanted to thank all of you for coming to the parent meeting yesterday. It was great to see all of you and to meet many of the new families joining our amazing team! I also wanted to apologize for not having enough packets for each family. I took into account how many student athletes we have on the team and made a few extra just in case. Apparently it was not enough. I will have copies with me all week at practice so if you were unable to get a hold of one please don't worry, you may pick one up when we see you at practice this week.

Please make sure to read over the "Code of Conduct" and sign it and also take time to fill out the form "tell us about you." This helps us to get to know you a little bit better and lets us know what events you like to swim. It is our job as your coaches to inspire you and to help you obtain your goals for the season. You as a swimmer or diver on the team must know that you will have to dig deep every so often and maybe make some sacrifices along the way to really obtain your goals. Your coaches are going to ask you to dig deep and work through the pain and the suffering during practice and in meets. We understand that it's hard and it sometimes hurts along the way but we are here to support you every step you take or even better.. every stroke you take! You're not alone and you have your teammates and families to support you as well. Remember.. it's not just being physically strong.. it's also being mentally strong. You can't have one without the other!

So I will leave you with this "cowards never start, the weak never finish, and winners never quit!"

IT'S OUR TIME!
