Hello Swim Families,

No practice Friday, January 23.   The Y will be open so a workout will be posted but no coaches will be on deck. I'd call ahead of time to make sure they will stay open.   Stay warm!!!  

No Saturday clinic on the 24th.


A big thank you to all who came to picture day!!  We had a great turn out of 55 swimmers out of 75.  When the pictures are delivered, a message will be sent and they will be put in your swimmer's mailboxes.

     March 14-15  SEA Sectionals Meet in Racine, WI  This is a great meet for all swimmers and a favorite meet for the viewers ;)  You can wear pants and a long sleeve shirt (think sweatshirt!) and be comfortable!  Yes, you heard that right.  Seating is in the pool area and is very breezy and roomy.  If your swimmers is trying to go to State, this is the last chance to make the cut off times for their events.

      March 20-22  State Meet at Schroeder.  This is an invite only meet based on qualifying times.  Times will be posted on the Swim Team board soon.  Heads up... if your swimmer is going to State, there will be a pasta party at our Y on Thursday, March 19.  More information about State below.

       March 28-29.  Regional Swim Meet at The University of Minnesota Aquatics Center.  This is also a qualifying swim meet.  Times will be posted soon.  The Regional Swim Meet is a huge meet consisting of teams from 8 surrounding states!  It is a great experience swimming in a D1 university pool.  A nice end to the season and a fun weekend away.  

Practice Schedule:
        
        ** If your swimmer is NOT swimming State or Regionals, the last day of swim practice will be March 13!  
        ** If your swimmer is swimming State but NOT Regionals, the last day of swim practice will be March 20!
        ** Regional Swimmers - your practice schedule will be sent out soon.  
        
       
      End of Season Banquet  Date to be determined.  

** State Information:  At this meet, there are individual races and relays.  Even if your swimmer doesn't make the qualifying times as an individual, coaches can still put them in a relay.  Please declare "yes" or "no" as soon as possible.  If you already have plans for this weekend or your swimmer is not interested, select "No" and we will not put your swimmer in a relay.  If there is an interest in possibly getting on a relay, please select "Yes" and we will know your swimmer is available.  How do you know if your swimmer has qualified for individual events?  If after selecting "Yes" events are in black, they've qualified.  You can select these events and sign them up.  If the events are in red, times have not been met for that event.


As always, if there are any questions, please contact your swimmer's coach or Coach Cortney @ 920-377-0854

Thank You!
