Last week of Practice News

Erica Wheatley
 
 
It's the Last Week!
  • Last day of Practice is Wednesday 3/13
  • Race Practice/Time Trials are Tuesday 3/12 and Wednesday 3/13 during your practice group time
    • ​Family and friends are invited to come cheer!
    • Munch and Mingle after both days (and after Homeschool Group)- Bring a snack or drink to share after, pot-luck style 
We made it! What a great season! I hope all the swimmers have had a good time, felt some successes and made some friends.
 
Next week is our last week of practice - Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday only. Thursday kicks off our State Championship meet with Caleb and Charles RACING the mile! We are excited to have 50 swimmers attending the State Championships; we are the third largest team in attendance! Way to represent. 
 
On Tuesday and Wednesday we are having Time Trials and Race Practice for all swimmers. Don't miss it - swimmers who are not attending Championships should be excited to get end-of-season times on the books. Meet attenders should be there to practice a "dress rehearsal" of their events that weekend.
 
Invite family and friends to come watch, cheer, take pictures and movies! Also, let's all celebrate by bringing snacks and drinks for the swimmers and families to hang out after practice for a bit. 
 
Popcorn Pick-up: Monday March 11th,  1-2 pm and 6-8 pm
Thanks all for the successful Mountaineer Popcorn fundraiser!
 
Popcorn will be at the Wellness Center starting at 1 pm in time for Homeschool Group pickup (and any parents there can help us start sorting them out).
 
Pick-up 6-8 pm on Monday. We don't have a lot of room to store it after that, so best if you can get there Monday to grab yours. Please reach out if you need to make other arrangements.
