Feb 26th Update: Championship week(s) schedule update
Good afternoon team!
We are quickly approaching our championship meets and I wanted to send out a quick update about our schedule:
- There will not be practice on Friday, February 28th as we are preparing to attend Y State on this Saturday.
- [Update]: There will now be practice on March 6th and March 7th for those NOT going to Y Regionals.
- Coach Artemiy has offered to work with swimmers who are not going to Boise that week! We will have normal practice times those days.
- Our awards ceremony / team banquet will be on March 14th
- Doors open at 5:00pm for set up. Food to start around an hour later
- This will feature a potluck! I will have the signup once we are finished with Y Regionals
- We will be at the Mount Baker Middle School / Little Mountain Elementary cafeteria (same place as our last team dinner in December).
- If there is anything that anyone would like to suggest / add to our championship banquet / ceremonies, please feel free to send ideas to: [email protected]
- As of now, the facility is not offering projector/speaker capabilities. I will probably bring a mic and sound system of my own
- There is a USA Swimming finale meet that our team was assigned/invited to. The qualifying times are listed in the meet announcement that I have attached to the event page [linked here]
- We will attend if there are more than 10 swimmers interested in the event.
For those going to Y State, (if you haven't already) I recommend starting to carbo-load! This is a gradual increase of carbs in a diet, which helps swimmers get ready for a big meet. Start by adding more carbs (pasta, grains, fruits/vegetables) while replacing proteins/fats.
There is a meeting at 6:00pm tonight for Y State. I will receive more information at this time, and will share ASAP with those going on Saturday. Coach Artemiy will be covering for me at this time, so Tsunami swimmers please do your best to listen to him!
See you all soon,
Joseph Shelly
