The official towels, t-shirts and hoodies for the 2013 Spring Arkansas Championship meet are now on the main page at www.swimmerstuff.com.  The deadline to order is February 1st.  It's good looking stuff and can be customized.  Check it out and be sure to order before time runs out.

I started looking over the entries for the NWAA meet next weekend and noticed that SEVERAL swimmers were entered in too many events.  Rather than try to find the time to contact each family individually I would like everyone to look over their entries and make sure they are correct.  The deadline is tonight so please find time to do this today. The limit is 3 events per day, and a total of 7 events for the weekend.  The only event on Friday is the 1650, so if you have...

Mornings this week are Tuesday and Thursday.  We will also be offering a Friday afternoon practice this week for contracts.  We are hoping to get some parents to come in during that time to help us get the final set-up done for the Clinic on Saturday.  It is going to be an exciting week!

Holy Cow there were some big improvements down in Springdale on Saturday!  Results are posted here.

Please check your email or check the website before driving to the pool Saturday morning.  The crew will be doing repairs on Friday and if they are not able to get the job done they have been told to call me if I need to cancel Saturday practice.  It might be a last minute announcement so please watch for it just in case!

Since we can't offer a Thursday or Friday evening this week, our contract groups needed a Saturday practice...  but it needs to be done in time for Coach Kurt to drive to Springdale for the Developmental meet: So practice will be bright and early from 6:30-8:30am!  Please attend if you need it to make your contract number this week.  It will be a sprint workout and might be kind of fun!  You have my permission to go home and climb back in bed when it is over!

because that's how we roll around here... they called me and told me to just cancel it right after I sent the last two messages.  I promise I won't punch any walls.  kind of.  

I had originally scheduled a practice in the morning because Webb City has no school on the 2nd. Since the other schools are in, Coach Kurt will offer an evening practice at normal times for blue, black and contracts. Coach Shawn will offer a 5:45am. Elite group is expected to do both. Others who are not in school have the option to stay longer in the morning rather than come back again in the evening. Please remember that there is a home high school meet on Thursday evening, so Thursday...

Contract groups were gonna start at 8, but we need to move it a little earlier.  7:30-9:30am.  Don't worry.  We aren't expecting the kids to be well rested.  :)

I spent the morning updating the calendar on the team website to reflect our plan for practicing over the break.  I decided to do it this way rather than just sending out an email so that if there are any changes we can make updates on the fly.  Please go to the team website and click the Calendars tab and then choose the calendar for your practice group.  And don't forget to double check it before you drive to the pool!  We are planning to have some work done at...
