Coach's Clipboard 8/10/21
HELLO GBY FAMILY!
Meet Info
USA swimming has their meet schedule put out and I will be adding the ones we attend to the Calendars by the end of next week. I am currently setting up some YMCA swim meets also and hopefully we will be able to host a few this year as well! Keep an eye out on the calendar and coach's clipboards for more info. All meets should be in the calendar before the season starts on August 30th.
You must be a USA register swimmer to attend the USA swim meets. Most of these meets have qualification times that must be met before you can enter these meets. I will put out a Team Unify sign up for those wishing to register for USA swimming mid September. I will keep you updated and remind you as we get closer to the time to register for USA.
Practice Info
Reminder that Gold has dryland training starting this Wednesday. Gold will do dryland workouts on Mondays 6:00pm-6:45pm, Wednesday 6:00pm-6:45pm and Friday's 6:15-7:00pm. Please bring the appropriate workout attire and gear. We will meet in the lobby at 5:50pm before heading up to the MX4 training room at 6:00pm.
Swim team practice begins Monday August 30th, 2021 for most swimmers. You can sign up online via the YMCA website not the swim team website or by calling or visiting the front desk starting Monday August 16th, 2021. Reminder that high school swimmers will still sign up for the season but will uncheck 2 draft months. Girls will uncheck the months of September and October and boys will uncheck December and January so you will not be drafted those months. If you have any questions please reach out to me.
