Hi CB Swim Families!

Tomorrow, we’ll be traveling to Frances Meadows again to compete in the Fall Frenzy meet hosted by West Hall High School. While several items are still the same, there are some important differences this week, so please read carefully!

A. Transportation:

This is going to be a significant change. Unfortunately, Coach Goodwin is still not feeling well, so I will be unavailable to drive the bus tomorrow. Therefore, ALL swimmers will need to be transported to Frances Meadows by personal transportation! Please have your swimmer at the facility and checked in with Coach Grace and Coach DeZur by 8:50 AM.

Warmups will begin at 9:30, so swimmers must be behind the blocks, behind their assigned lane, with suits, caps, and goggles on by 9:25 AM, ready to warm up.

If your swimmer swims with Lanier Aquatics, PLEASE have them swim warmups with Lanier earlier in the morning. This will allow them a longer warm-up time, help with later warm-ups, and lessen the number of swimmers in each lane!

B. Gear:

If your swimmer still needs to pick up his/her sweatshirt and swim pants, you can do so this afternoon from Heather Failyer in the CBHS parking lot from 3:30 - 4:30 p.m. OR tomorrow morning at the meet.

New to the team swimmers will also receive a mesh swim bag for their belongings at tomorrow’s meet. They can also contact John Rowland at [email protected] to arrange a pick-up time this afternoon/evening.

C. What to Bring?

This hasn’t changed. We will have a food table for the kids to snack on during the meet. (Thank you to our amazing volunteers and boosters for taking care of this each week!) Swimmers can also bring their own healthy snacks. Remember, junk food in = junk swims out… so keep it healthy and protein/carb-rich. Also, things to keep them busy in-between swims, a sharpie for marking events, and their cap, 2 pairs of goggles, and 2 towels as well.

D. Spirit Wear:

We’re planning to place another order for spirit wear for parents and families if you’d like it. This will be the team t-shirts and they will be $15 each!

Use the order form below to order!

E. Next Week

Next week we will have a teacher work day on Tuesday. We will have a bit of an altered schedule due to this. We will have NO morning swim practice and move our Dryland Speed and Strength Training to Tuesday afternoon from 3:45 - 4:30 pm. Since there is no morning practice, I would like to see as many people as possible there that afternoon. GroupMe is an excellent place to set up carpools to ensure students can make it. This training is essential to keeping our swimmers healthy and improving performance. We had some of our best times ever for some of our swimmers last weekend, and these are also swimmers who have consistently been showing up for these sessions. I don’t think that’s a coincidence!!!

Sign up for our meet on the 9th closes on Sunday at 6 PM, so you MUST have in entries before this time!

Thanks everyone! As always please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
