The rest of the week of August 22-25th

Hello all!
It has been a rather crazy and slightly disappointing week with the COI pool being closed due to a filtration issue.  Here is the schedule for the rest of the week:

Thursday, 8/23 and Friday, 8/24
Meet at the Spurwing Golf Course Pool at 6:30am - 7:30am.  It is an outdoor pool so please dress appropriately.  There are no locker rooms so you have to go home to get changed.  Mrs. Oldenkamp has given us permission to be late to school.  Try to be at school no later than 8:30 am.

Team suits arrived today and will be handed out at practice in the morning.  Cross your fingers they fit. 


Saturday, 8/25  Hailey Swim Meet


  1.  Meet at the school right before 5am if you need a ride or want to caravan.  It takes roughly 2 hours and 50 minutes to get to the pool.  
  2. You must dress for both winter and summer.  The meet is an outdoor meet and it is cold in the morning, then hot in the afternoon.  I do have polarized goggles you can use to race outdoors to help minimize the glare of the sun.  
  3. You need to bring camp chairs, towels, breakfast, snacks and lunch. (think about the swim meet as day camping)  If you are riding with me, I stop in town to get lunch before we go home. You are responsible for paying for yourself.   
  4. Warm ups are at 8:15 am and the meet starts at 9:00 am.   It lasts right around 2 hours.   
I am really excited for our first meet!   We always do well at the Hailey pool.  Below is the Invite to the meet, along with directions to get to the pool
