The radar doesn't look good and we are under a tornado watch, so we are going to cancel practice today.  Coach Shawn plans to offer a Friday morning practice for his groups.  Coach Kurt will also be at the pool on Friday afternoon from 4:30 - 6:30pm for those who can make it.  PREP groups please watch for a plan from Mallory and Faith.  Sorry!!  Please spread the word.

The Meet Director for the Jenks Trojan Swim Club sent out updated files for their Aloha meet and I had to start over with a new event file.  If you have already made entries, please log in and double check that your entries are there and that they are correct.  It looks like the website took care of the transition but I need to be sure before entries are sent.  Thank you and sorry for the hassle!

We can't swim if there is lightning and it doesn't look like these storms are going away until around 7pm...   Practice is cancelled!  Sorry!!

Don't forget that Rufus Racing, one of our JCKW sponsors, is hosting the Go Green Triathlon this Saturday morning at the WCHS pool.  It is not too late to register, but you have to do it online at this link by Thursday night (tomorrow) at midnight!  The course is a 300 yard swim, a 13 mile bike, and a 3 mile run.  Sounds like a pretty good early season workout to me.  I wouldn't mind swapping the swim distance with the run though.   here is the link: http://www.rufusracing.com/go-green.html I...

Don't forget: The pool will be closed tomorrow, so NO TUESDAY PRACTICE!  We will make it up Friday at 4:15pm. Also, the banquet is coming up.  Don't forget to log in to the team website and sign up!   Thanks

Coach Klosterman is back on duty after his two weeks off.  Time to get back to business.  Two announcements: 1.  Wednesday practice has to be early, so contract groups please try to be there by 4:15pm. 2.  It is time to get your swimmer a mono-fin (bronze and up) and a front snorkel (silver and up) for the summer season.  We will be using these a lot, especially at the long course pool.  There should be options if you click the swim outlet link. 3.  The door is now open...

While there are still practices through most of March, I want to make sure everyone understands that the contract groups have NO REQUIRED PRACTICES through the end of this month.  Your coaches want to encourage a healthy couple of weeks off for all.  If you want to come have some fun, laid back practices we are here for those of you who feel weird if you don't get wet every day.  I was one of those kids so I'm feelin ya. Next week (spring break) we won't practice, but the...
