Conditioning Time Change!

This week and hopefully next week, conditioning will be bumped up two hours earlier than usual.

Swimmers that usually swim 6 -7pm will swim 4-5pm

Swimmers that usually swim 630-8pm will swim 430-6pm

I know we have a lot of families that would like to be home or with friends for the Ravens game on Sunday and then hopefully next Sunday, too. But now there is no excuse for missing practice for it!

End-of-Season Celebration Issue

Things have changed from last year… The group prices have gone up. Although still a discount from the regular day pass, they said it would be $49 per person on the weekends in May

They are raising prices in the month of April because of various school districts having spring breaks during that time. It would be $70 per person on the weekend selected initially, which is not really a group discount at all! Prices drop significantly after April 28^th.

I created a quick poll to see what people think….

1. Switch to Saturday, May 3^rd. This would get us the lower price($49)  without conflicting with the start of Swim Team Sundays. Swimmers with Saturday lessons would be affected, though.
2. Pick a weekday around Easter when most kids are off school. Possibly the Monday after Easter? The price would would be more like $35.
3. Keep our original date and just find a new activity.

Long Course Meets

The events have been posted online and are within the January-April Calendars.

These meets are mainly for the experience. It is nice to expose the swimmers to another avenue of the sport and gain the experience of swimming in an Olympic-sized pool! It also gives them something to focus on and train for throughout the spring. Occasionally, we have a swimmer qualify for States, and we take advantage of those opportunities. But, most will just enjoy something new and challenging during the break between champs and Summer Swim.

We will only go for one day to both of these meets.
