Our practice season is set to start this Monday, Oct 15th at Bethpage High School. The first session (for all swimmers 10 & under) will start at 6:30pm and end at 7:30pm. Please have your swimmers on the pool deck by 6:30 so we can get started.
The second session will start between 7:30 and 7:45 and will end at about 8:45.
I do apologize for the late notice (an e-mail to all those already registered will follow), but we just received the permit today.
We are very excited about the upcoming season, we have close to 70 swimmers registered and we are expecting 10-15 more to register in the next month. So...if you are still interested in swimming and have not registered, it is not too late.
Practices will continue every Monday (except when the school is closed) through the end of March, with our dual meets starting in January. We will have 4-5 home meets at the Bethpage facility, most likely on Saturdays at 3:00pm and 4-5 "away" meets. The venue for the "away" meets will depend upon the parishes against whom we will swim, but in the past we have competed at Chaminade, Hofstra, SUNY Farmingdale, Farmingdale High School and the Aquatic Center at Eisenhower Park.
In addition to the dual meets, we will also have a few in house meets, so that the less experienced swimmers can get used to the competition and have an opportunity to win some ribbons.
I ask any of you who will be taking pictures to forward them to me via e-mail and I will be happy to post them on this website. I will also post meet results and highlights. If there are any swimmers who would prefer to not have their picture and/or name on the website, please let me know.
Last, I welcome any comments, advice, suggestions and most importantly, parent volunteers during practice and at the meets - on the pool deck, at the scorer's table and in the stands.
Looking forward to seeing you all at practice.
