Hello swim families! 

We are off and running and have made a GREAT start to the swim season already. We were so excited to get to finally see our swimmers in the water on Wednesday and Thursday and we are excited to see where it takes us. Here are a few details for the upcoming week. 

Hopefully most everyone has gotten their gear. If you haven't yet, please reach out to either Coach Goodwin ([email protected]) or Twila Masaschi ([email protected]) to make arrangements to get it. If you have sizing issues, we are working on those. Please keep in mind that competition suits are going to be a little smaller than normal, so is it too be expected. If you can't make it work, reach out ASAP and we'll try to make sure that your swimmer has appropriate clothing and suits. I highly suggest that you have at minimum two practice suits for your swimmer in addition to your competition suit. SwimOutlet is a great option for this and there is a store linked on the homepage. Competition suits have been ordered, but we are waiting on them to ship from the warehouse and unfortunately have no control over this. We hope to have an update soon. 

We will have a full week of practice this week. You can find the practice schedules for each week posted by clicking on the "Calendar" tab on our homepage. They will be the same moving forward each week. 

Middle School Practices: 

• Monday - 5 - 6:30 PM 
• Tuesday 6 - 7 AM 
• Wednesday - 6:30 - 7:30 PM 
• Thursday 6 - 7 AM

*All middle school practices will be held at the JA Walters YMCA. (2455 Howard Rd.) 

High School Practices: 

• Monday - 7:30 - 8:45 PM 
• Tuesday - 6 - 7 AM 
• Wednesday - 5-6:30 PM 
• Thursday - 6 - 7 AM 

**Monday's HS practice will be at Frances Meadows. All other practices will be at the YMCA

A bus will once again be available for the morning practices. It's going to be COLD on Tuesday and Thursday morning, so make sure that your swimmer is dressed warmly. The bus heater can only do so much! 

If you have not already, please use the "Upcoming Events" link on the homepage OR click on "Calendar" and then "Meets" to indicate whether your swimmer will be participating in our first upcoming home meet on Saturday, October 29th. 

Please note: There is an option for you to indicate what your swimmer might like to swim. You can choose this or not. Please note that we as coaches do consider what a swimmer might like to swim, but ultimately we have to look at the team as a whole. Only a certain number of swimmers can be in each event, so we look at the strengths of each swimmer and make our decisions on what is best for our swimmers and best for our team. If you have concerns about what your swimmer is swimming, please first ask your swimmer to talk to his/her coaches about WHY they were selected for that event. If you still have concerns reach out via email to set up a meeting to discuss. 

Event registration is closing soon, so be sure to get those in very soon and check the deadlines. We also still need volunteers to make sure that we are able to fulfill all of the roles (and get us home before the start of the UGA/FL game!). 

Thank you again for all the support and we are looking forward to our best season yet! 

Coach Goodwin and Coach Smith
