First meet/ suits/ sweatshirts/ pictures and more

Hello all!

Our first meet is quickly approaching!  I am very excited to see all your hard work come to fruition.  Here are a couple of reminders:

1. Team suits should be in no later than Thursday of this week.  It is sooooooo important you try on your suit Thursday.  If it doesn't fit, you need to have it back in my possession no later than Friday so I can re-order.  
2. You will get your team cap with your suit.
3. Sweatshirt orders went out on Friday.  I should have our team sweatshirt the Friday before our first meet.
4. Team pictures will be taken this year by our own talented Mrs. Baughn (Maddie's mom) and will be scheduled after team sweatshirts arrive.
5. First meet - Saturday, Sept 12th at the  College of Idaho. Warm ups - 4:30pm - Meet -5:30pm More meet information will go out next week. 

***Warm ups mean you must be at the pool, dressed out, stretched out, on deck, ready to go*****

On Team meeting Tuesday we will be discussion the importance of Nutrition.  All hand outs will be posted on the blog.  

Suits and Sweatshirts sizes needed by this Friday

Hello!

It is that time again to order our team gear.  Remember this is something I pay for out of my swim budget but I do need sizes.  Please click the following links to size your gear.  All gear is non-returnable so please take the time to figure out what you really need and either email me or talk to me at practice.

Swim Season official has begun!

Tonight, marked our first swim team practice.  We had a pretty good turn out but if you know someone who is interested in joining, there is still time.  I will take new recruits or returning swimmers up until the first week in September.

Here are a couple of reminders:
1.  There will be an Officials training session offered on:

Thursday, August 27.  

6:30-8:30PM 

at the Boise Library located on the corner of Cole and Ustick.   

Remember, Vision Charter must supply two officials for each meet our team swims in.  If we don't have Parent Officials, we can't compete.   Please email me if you can attend this meeting no later than August 20th.  

2.  I will be sending out a link for swim suit sizing next week.  Just as a reminder,  I buy the team suits but it is up to the parents and swimmers to tell me the right size.  Maddie, our returning team captain, picked out some really amazing team suits this year.  Click the links below to view.

                     Ladies Racing Suit                                                 Men's Racing Suit      

3.  I will also be sending out pictures of our possible team sweatshirt.  The team will vote on their choice and majority rules.  I am still looking for quotes printing the sweatshirts.  If you know someone who works in the business and is willing to help us out, please forward their info on.

4.  Our first swim meet is scheduled for Saturday, September 12th.  I don't have a time yet, but this meet should only last about 2 hours.  I look forward to seeing all our parents cheer our team on.   

As always . . .questions, comments etc ?  Please don't hesitate to call, email or drop by.  Coach Kara Evans
