Meet Results
Swim and Dive meet results from Monday's home meet with Cottonwood can be found on the blog, http://slccswimanddive.blogspot.com/p/results-and-records.html.
Meet Questions
Some parents were asking about the order of the meet. Please know that some older age group events are combined so swimmers should always be ready to go several events early. Here is a link to the league website, http://ccswim.com/pages/resources.php, which will give you more information about how the meets are run. Take a look at the events order sheet to get a better handle on the order of events. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Girl Swimmers
While we are happy to have any age swimmer join our team, we are thin in our older girl swimmer age groups. If you know of any 13 or older girls who may be interested (and are children or grandchildren of a member) in swimming and/or diving this Summer we would love to have them on of our team.
Meet Sign Up
Our next swim and dive meet is this coming Monday, June 22nd at Home against Northcrest. Please remember to volunteer for the meet either at the pool or on the blog. SWIMMERS AND DIVERS MUST SIGN UP TO BE ENTERED INTO THE MEET. Sign your athletes up by Saturday, June 20th @ Midnight. Anyone who can swim the length of the pool is welcome to sign up for the meet. Sign Ups can be done on the blog, http://slccswimanddive.
League Regulations
The Conference Championships are our league's culminating meet, it is a chance for swimmers and divers to compete against the best in the league. It is also a great chance for our team to showcase all of our hard work. We would like to send as many swimmers and divers to conference as possible. In order to be eligible for our Conference Championships swimmers must compete in at least 3 swim meets, in order to be eligible for the dive championships divers must of participated in at least 2 dive meets. These rules and more can be found on the league website, http://www.ccswim.
Team Breakfast and Picture
This coming wednesday, June 24th, will be our team breakfast and picture. We still need more volunteers to help with the breakfast. Also it would be great to have one parent volunteer to take the pictures. ALL Swimmers must arrive to the pool at 8:45am. The team picture will be taken at 9am, no retakes. Breakfast will follow the team picture. The 7am, 10am, and 10:45am practices will be run during their normal time. The 8:45am practice will have an abbreviated work out. Diving will run during its normal time.
Master's Practice
I would like to invite you to join our Master's Swim Practice on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning from 6:15 - 7:15 am. This is a practice for any of you who are too old to swim for our team (anyone 18+). Seamus will have an elite level workout which those of us not in that level of shape will adapt accordingly.
Morning Practices
Please help us in running a smooth program by making sure your athletes arrive 10 minutes before practice starts. Practice times can be found on the blog.
