Good afternoon Tide!
Congratulations on surviving week 1. You are doing great! I have seen some great improvement already. Just think of all the great things we are going to accomplish this season.
I am going to have to cancel our optional Saturday practice at Glencoe. I have not been able to figure out how to clone myself and cannot be at two places. I have a coaches meeting that will go into our time. Please let anyone not on the list know that we have canceled practice.
2nd. Suits. I have requested more suits in different sizes from BSN. Our ordering website is currently being finalized. I would like us to have gear as soon as possible. If you still haven't tried on suits, please do so by Tuesday to get a proper size.
3rd. Our optional team outing on Friday November 27th will start at Silver Falls state park. I have included the link. We will leave the Jackson School neighborhood about 10:30am. I cannot drive you, but you can carpool with other swimmers/families. It will take roughly 1 hour and 20 minutes to get there(at the woodburn outlet mall exit) I will provide pizza to any swimmer who finishes the hike with us. Takes about 3 hours (I have small children who like to stop and eat snacks along with way) You and your family, friends, neighbors are more than welcomed to come along. Please email me if you are interested in going and if you have a ride or are willing to drive others. We will grab pizza in Silver Falls before heading back up to Hillsboro.
4. Please email me if you are going to be on vacation or unable to make the Thanksgiving week of practices for any reason. Communication is always best done before hand. Thank you in advance!
5. Our first meet will be held on December 4th as a Quad meet with the 4 Hillsboro HS teams. I will need parents to volunteer. This meet's goal is to introduce swim meets and races to new swimmers and to have veteran swimmers lead the way in longer distances. We will need parental participation as well. The meet will start at 3pm at the Sharc
5. Finally, if there is a parent or sibling who isn't in the water, I would love help next week video taping. I have been told that the HEAT does have an underwater camera and if someone would be able to persuade the coaches/team to let us borrow it for a practice, I would really appreciate it. I would like to use this as part of our bench mark and goal setting for the season. Otherwise, I have a nice camera that we can use for above water taping. Again, please email me directly.
