REMEMBER the YMCA Pool is closed on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week.
We got special permission to practice at the College of Idaho pool those days from 5:30 - 6:30
The COI pool is in the back part of the campus. There is a parking lot in back, just off of Oak Street. Park back there. The pool is one of the first buildings you run into. It is labeled. Just go down the stairs to the main deck area and I will meet you there.
Suit orders went out last night and are due to be here on Thursday . . .cross your fingers they fit.
Jacket orders will go out on Friday afternoon. If you want names on your jackets, you have to pay .75 a letter. I do not cover these costs. I will do my best to catch you all at practice on Wednesday and Thursday.
The Wood River Swim Meet is this Saturday, August 26th at the Blaine County Aquatic Center in Hailey ID. Here are the details:
- You must have 10 practices in before the meet. If you don't, you can't swim. These are the State rules. You are still welcome to come support the team.
- Jaden Mikesell's family owns a large van and has offered to drive. Depending on the number of swimmers going, the team may all fit. I'll be helping arrange rides on Wednesday.
- This is an outdoor meet. Be prepared for all types of weather. Bring your own camp chairs etc. Limited concessions will be available so it will be important to pack your own breakfast, snacks and possibly lunch.
- Dry clothes and towels will be important. Hats and sunscreen may also be needed.
- We will caravan from Vision Charter at 5:00am. Please be on time. It takes 2 hours and 40 minutes to get to the pool.
- Coaches Meeting is right at 8am. Warm Ups are at 8:15. Officials and Timers Meeting is at 8:45am. National Anthem - 8:55am. Meet starts at 9am.
- I am guessing the meet will last anywhere from 2 - 3 hours.
- If there is a quick place to grab lunch, we will stop for fast food only. Then book it back to Caldwell.
