Weekly News (October 9th)

Coach Corry Day

Hello to all Panther Swimmers,

Congratulations to our 43 Puppy Cup participants who competed last weekend at Bangkok Prep. Everyone swam great, the weather held up and our hosts at Bangkok Prep did a great job. We will definitely make this part of our annual schedule

 

Important information for the upcoming weeks:

 

  1. NIST entries and transportation sign up

All details for NIST Falcons Extreme meet must be completed by next Wednesday, October 18th. We are on the October break the whole week before the meet. So, we will not be on campus to make changes, add swimmers or book buses for transportation. Therefore, if you want to go to this meet sign up before Friday this week. The transportation google document will come out tomorrow.

 

  1. Volunteers and Panther Swim Meets:

We are very fortunate that we have a very large team and coaching staff. Because of this we do not need to have the 100s of volunteer positions necessary in the past.

For our large meets like Swimfest and Splash (1000 swimmers) we need just under 30 volunteers over the weekend. We have 365 swimmers on the team, so we should have plenty of bodies to fill these rolls. Although we do not need as many people in the past, we do need to have these positions filled or we cannot run the events. So please sign up today for meets that you will be attending. We need you!

 

  1. Reminder: 5th annual Thanyapura Panther Swim Winter Camp (Phuket, January 4-6th)

This is training camp for any of our swimmers that train at the 50m pool. We will have swim sessions, strength and conditioning training and team building exercises throughout the days. We guarantee this will stoke the passion and love for our great sport. Sign up on our website and I will email the details for booking hotel rooms and flights.

 

 

 

  1. October Break Training:

We will have 3 days of training for our 50m pool swimmers (grade 3 and over). This is to help prepare for NIST Falcons meet Oct 28/29. We will have no training at 25m pool during this time.

 

Events to sign up for on our website:
