Swimming Eagles Update

Our 4th practice went very well, as we timed the swimmers in the freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke. My thanks to all of the parents who volunteered and helped out on the pool deck getting the kids ready and timing them.

A few important announcements

Monday November 12:
No practice, as we will all be celebrating Veteran's Day. To all of our family and friends who have served in the armed forces through the years, we extend our heartfelt thanks and gratitude.

Turkey Challenge:
Our first in house meet has been moved to Monday November 26 (we will have a typical practice on Nov 19). This will give us one more practice before the meet. All swimmers should try to be at the pool by 6:30, especially those 10 and under. This meet will give our less experienced swimmers a chance to get used to swim competition as well as an opportunity to win some ribbons.

Swim Suits:
We will be ordering our suits within the next few weeks. A few of the older swimmers have suggested we change from our long time blue and gold colors to something different to coincide with our renewed and re-energized swim program. One suggestion is a black swim suit with orange highlights, which sounded pretty nice. I welcome any suggestions.

Looking forward to a successful and fun filled season.

See you all on the 19th.
