Next week we will practice our contract groups from 4-5:45 in the water on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings at the Webb City pool.  Please have swimmers bring their gear and be prepared to run.  We will start practicing at Schifferdecker on Monday, June 2nd and will be in the water from 6-8pm Monday through thursday there every week. Mornings for next week will be announced later, but I would like to encourage silver and up swimmers to make some of them since we are only doing three evenings due...

Next week was intended to be our first week practicing at Schifferdecker but that plan has changed.  We don't quite have a plan B yet but I wanted to give everyone a heads up before the weekend starts to check your email before Tuesday... -We are not quite sure where we will practice in the evening yet.  We might keep the same schedule at WCHS, but we might find an alternate pool since the summer team has their first official week of practice and it is going to be crowded...

Coach K will be offering morning practices on Thursday and Friday morning this week at 5:45am.  You know you want to come.  Time to get to work!

It looks like this storm is gonna hang over us until about 7 tonight according to futuretrack radar.  (Of course now that I am canceling it will clear up by 3:30...) I will be adding a Tuesday morning at 5:45 and a Friday morning at 5:45 for Silver and up to make up the water time we are missing due to weather. Please help spread the word to anyone who might have a longer drive and could miss the message. also, if you want to check with me about practices,...

Coach K is offering a make up practice Friday at 4:15. I hope contract swimmers can make it.

Radar says our worst chance of storms is between 4-6pm so I figured it would be best to just cancel and get the word out as early as possible.  Please spread the word so we don't have anyone accidentally drop their kids off at the door when no one is here!   Sorry for any inconvenience.

Coach K has told all Silver group and up swimmers that they need to swim those events that they have NT's for long course during one of the May meets.  The bare minimum requirement is the 200 of each stroke and the 400 freestyle so that we can have target times to train all strokes when we get to Schiff...   I have extended the Jenks entry deadline and can take entries tonight in case anyone has just realized that they can't do the NWAA meet to fulfill that requirement....

From the Hendrix Aquakids Coach Tony:   As you know, Mayflower and Vilonia were hit by a devastating tornado this past Sunday which resulted in tragic loss of life and left thousands of families without homes and basic resources.  Aquakids Swim Team has many family members that live in both communities. All our swimmers are safe and no families lost their homes. Unfortunately, one family did lose a loved one on Sunday and has another in the hospital.   We are receiving word from our families that live in these...
