Huntsville AT College Station Meet THIS weekend

Entries and volunteer jobs are OPEN for the meet against Huntsville this weekend at Adamson! Entries are due NO LATER THAN Thursday at NOON!

Reminder: Please mark your swimmer appropriately for RELAYS. We had a relay unable to swim this past meet because one of their swimmers was not there. This is very difficult for the swimmers as they are all planning to swim the relay & it's really disappointing when one swimmer does not show up. It's also difficult for the Coaches and Ready Bench as they struggle to find the swimmer and/or a replacement. It's VERY important that ALL swimmers check out with the Coaches before they leave the swim meet. Even if they may be done with their events. 

There are also plenty of Volunteer Jobs to be signed up for as well! Be sure to select something to help our team! 

General & Practice Reminders

If you need to schedule Time Trials, pick up a shirt, have a question about awards, etc. Please email me. When the Coaches are on deck they are focused on your swimmer, they will not be able to leave the pool deck to help you. If you email me we can schedule a time to talk if you need help or we can get your request ready & scheduled for the next time your swimmer is at practice. There are many questions that our front desk personnel can handle, but there are also many they cannot.  

8 & Unders

A PARENT MUST BE IN ATTENDANCE during practice & meets. You do not have to stay right next to the pool but please be where your swimmer can find you when they get out of the water. Coaches will be moving immediately to the next training group and helping to find a parent takes them away from their job. 

NO Practice Wednesday May 22nd

This is for an ALL STAFF Inservice held here at the pool I have had a few people ask if their swimmer can make up a practice on Tue or Thur. My answer is the same as always, we will do our best to get all swimmers in the pool. The likelihood of us filling up if everyone comes on one night is about guaranteed. We will always do our best, but please be patient as we get swimmers checked in & counted & understand if we exceed a safe capacity for practice we will likely have to turn swimmers away. 

If you would like to email me I can put you on a list for EITHER Tue or Thur & I can let you know how crowded it's looking.

Please choose ONE Practice per day for your swimmer to attend. It does not have to be all mornings or all evenings, they will just attend once per day. If we start to have issues with capacity we will institute a Signup Genius for practice selections. 

On a personal note. I truly love coaching swim AND your kids! Please keep in mind, I do have a family and a "day job" as well. This is a part-time/seasonal position. So if I get emails at times when I am otherwise busy I may not be able to answer right away. I try to manage emails in the hour or two before practices or when we have a lighter attendance load with enough Coaches here to manage. If you have a question or a request please be sure to give me time to answer. There are far more of you than there are of me, I appreciate your patience. 

As always, if you have any questions please let me know. 

See you at the pool! 

Coach Michelle
