We have 3 weeks left of swim team.  Here is what you can expect:

The Nampa Rec scheduled their meet for 4 pm.  Swimmers are excused at 2:50.  This allows you time to drive, eat (bring dinner) and change to be ready to swim.

The District meet is also on a Tuesday.  We have to be on deck, ready to go at 3:45pm.  Swimmers are excused 2pm to drive to the West YMCA, eat and/or bring dinner and change to be ready to swim.  District is a long swim meet.  Bring things to keep you occupied, like homework.  J

The State swim tournament is Friday, Nov 4th.  Swimmers have to be in line to get a spot at 9am.  Doors open at 10:30.  Warm ups are at 11:45 and the Meet starts at 1:30.  It is an all-day event.  Again, you need to plan on sitting around so bring things to keep yourself occupied.  Even if you aren’t swimming at State, you are welcome to come along and support the team.  Bring pom poms, cow bells, paint your face etc.  If you are racing, you will need to bring breakfast, lunch and a snack.  We have over 700 swimmers racing that day and it takes a long time to get to all the events. 

Swim Team Pictures are coming up after the District swim meet on Wednesday, October 25^th at 5:30 at the Caldwell Y.  Please wear your team suit and your team SWEATSHIRT.

We haven't had a meet in two weeks but have been training hard for our next home meet, which is this Saturday at the Caldwell Y.  Warm ups start at 9.  Please be dressed out and on deck before 9.  Remind parents to bring camp chairs and water.  

We also have practice all of fall break.  I understand if you booked trips at this time.  I, too, am sneaking away for a few days.  Remember, you can still exercise away from the pool while you are gone.  :)
