Weekly Email:  October 19-24, 2015


Hello Everyone - 

I hope you all had a good weekend, and are ready to go with swimming. We start our full regular schedule this week.  Our meets start November 6, so we only have 3 more weeks to get ready, get attendance numbers in line, and get everyone eligible in registermyathlete. You should have already gotten my email with the practice schedule. 

First - registermyathlete - this is getting close.  Nearly all of you have cleared your physicals and registration requirements on the website.  A few stragglers physicals haven't yet cleared. Ramsey Fautin needs to get on there and e-sign as an athlete.  Jack Rutter needs to register. The East treasurer has not yet recorded the fees - but make sure you have paid your $50 participation fee. Swimmers will not be eligible with the UHSAA to swim in the meets until that is cleared through the treasurer. 

Second - attendance - Several swimmers need make-ups.  A few are in pretty bad shape.  JV swimmers can always come twice on Mondays; one counts as a make-up.  Varsity-Invited can also come on Wednesday mornings as a make-up.  Make-up opportunities for Varsity swimmers are rare. Also - be on time!  Being late is a killer.  
Swimmers are not eligible by the team rules to participate in meets unless attendance is at 85%. Attendance numbers are at the end of this LONG email.

Halloween Party: Remember, the Halloween Social will be on Saturday, October 24 at 6:00 pm at Rob Colgan's home, 1467 Gilmer Drive. We'll eat dinner (chili!) then go to the Haunted Village. All swimmers are to bring $5 to pay a portion of their ticket - the team will pay the rest! After the Village, everyone will return to the Colgan's for desert and an outside scary movie. Be sure to bring a warm jacket or coat and a camp chair for the outside movie. Thank you Marilyn, Chris and Rob Colgan for hosting!!
