Storm Forecast for January 10th, 2024

MACs Share Night

From 4-8pm tonight, mention you’re with Storm at MACs for dinner and the team will get a portion of the sales.

Winter Wonderland

After a very quiet December, we’re about to be knee-deep in it after this weekend.  For in-water practice, things are pretty self-explanatory: If there’s a Winter Storm Warning, school is closed.  If school is closed, they cancel outside rentals.  Things get a little fuzzier with dryland, as that’s an outside group.

The pool staff at SP was kind enough to set up a makeup date for yesterday morning’s missed practice.  So tomorrow, Thursday, there’s a 5:30A practice for Typhoon, Senior, and Masters.

Friday, things get complicated again.  A Winter Storm WATCH starts Friday morning at 6.  If that turns into a Storm Warning, we’ll lose some of our weekend programming.  I’ve sent separate emails to each meet group with details for those variables.

 

USA Registration

Now that we’re into 2024, anyone that didn’t register through USA Swimming this fall or winter is technically not a member of USA Swimming.  Looking at the roster…that’s a lot of our kids.  If you haven’t already done so, please register for USA Swimming at this link.

In talking with the BAC coach, it’s looking like there’s a high probability that the 1/27 BAC Groundhog meet turns to 1/28 at Middleton.  Surely we’ll have final answers by this weekend.  Thanks for your patience.
