LAC Email 12/16/2023

   I hope this finds you healthy and ready for the Holidays.   This is going to be a short quick one.  I am still working on some statistics from our swim meet last weekend but am excited to share those with you by the end of the weekend. 

Some of you have asked so I will let all of you know, my grandmother has made a spirited effort and rehab and we are excited to announce that she will be released from her rehab facility next Friday, December 22nd. My family cannot thank you all enough for all of the prayers and well wishes that were sent her way.  It is truly a testament to the power of positivity, prayer, and a bit of tenacity and stubbornnes that she would not be there on Christmas on her part.  Thank you all for you thoughts, concerns, and patiences as you allowed me to navigate that.  

The reason for this email:

• There will be no afternoon or evening practices on Tuesday, December 19, 2023 for any groups as that is our annual Holiday Party at Liberty University's Montview Bowling Alley from 5-8pm.  We hope that you all can join us.  I have created an event similar to a swim meet on our event page and believe you should have received an email about that. Please use the signup link to RSVP.  That link can also be found here. 
• Our winter break schedule is as follows, if the day is not listed below, we will hold regularly scheduled practices. 
  • No practices on the following days
    • December 25 & December 26
    • January 1 & January 2
• We are looking at potentially adding a meet in Williamsburg MLK weekend.  More info to come Monday evening.  Be on the lookout for that email as we will have a short turnaround time for you to commit and to get our entries turned in.  

That's all for now.  Thank you again for all each of you do for our team and your swimmers.  

Yours in Swimming, 

Clyde Smith
