Coaches Note 09-28-10
It seems that this week may be our last gasp of summer. Let’s get out there and make it count! The coaching staff is excited about how we’ve started the season, and it seems as though everyone is getting into a rhythm. If you have any questions about how things are running, or what your coaches expect, please ask us before or after practice. Here’s a LONG list of the upcoming events, I would like to emphasize the Developmental Meet that is coming up on October 9th. It’ll be a lot of fun, I hope to see you all there.

Pumpkin Picking at Greenbluff--Saturday, October 16 at 1 PM
Finally, we wanted to end this week's note with a bang, so here it goes. We are scheduling an informal get together at Greenbluff to simply hang out with each other outside of a pool. There are tons of great activities and it's a great way to spend a fall day with family and friends. The only thing we'll ask everyone to do is join Kevin and Keddy in watching Pumpkin Launch .
Team Order
The Team Order is done with our team's sponsor, Speedo, via Northwest Swim Shop. This is for competition gear such as suits, caps, warm-ups, backpacks...you name it, all of which will have our team logo on it as well. Since they are our team sponsor, all items will be Speedo brand, and will be discounted 25%. Additionally, Northwest Swim Shop is giving us a discounted price on our team order (20% more off Warm-ups and bags). The order form will be sent out in the next two weeks, and everything should be delivered by December 17th. There will be sizing available at both pools soon.
