Already missing the pool?  Here’s a note from the school about an upcoming swim clinic:

We have some very exciting news. We are proud to announce that Fitter and Faster is coming to Grand Rapids for a two-day swim camp at Northview High School on April 13 & 14.

This camp is focused on the fastest parts of every race: the start and the turns! These are two of our swimmer’s biggest opportunities to drop time. Session sizes are limited. We cannot wait for this event and we strongly recommend everyone click the link below to register ASAP!

CLICK HERE for details and registration

The curriculum at each session will be:

April 13th:

•     Session 1 (11 & Under): Starts, Underwater Dolphin Kicking, and Breakouts
•     Session 2 (12 & Overer): Starts, Underwater Dolphin Kicking, and Breakouts

April 14th:

•     Session 3 (11 & Under): Flip Turns, Open Turns, and Finishes
•     Session 4 (12 & Over): Flip Turns, Open Turns, and Finishes

Sign up for one or SAVE by signing up for both sessions for your swimmer’s age group!

Leading each session will be Elite Clinician and Paralympic medalist Tucker Dupree! Tucker was specifically chosen to lead this clinic so that participants can get a deeper appreciation for what the start and turn FEEL like when swum at a high level.  Your swimmers, no matter their ability level will get lots of feedback and leave the clinic better prepared to have better starts and turns in practice and in races. We can’t wait to learn his tips to improve.

Great Meets this weekend!

Hope you and your family had a great season!  Thank you for all your help donating, volunteering and getting your swimmers to practice.  We truly appreciate it.

Stay tuned for information on the end of season celebration.  You will be able to pick your Championship awards at the party.

But keep reading below!

So, yeah, the word is the High School has no power.  All evening activities are cancelled, including us.  I guess that means y’all are ready for the championships!

Speaking of… plan on the championships happening.  Should anything change from the host teams, we’ll let you know as soon as we hear via email, web, Twitter and Facebook.

If you can’t make it, please send us an email.  We’ll then let the coaches know.  It’s easier if we centralize the communication.

Finally, double check the addresses and directions below.  It’s was brought to my attention that I was previously giving your directions to the athletic fields and not the pool, where you will actually swim.  The addresses below are correct.

Championship A Meet Tomorrow

Please double check the addresses below.  Remember that Saturday morning we start at event #37.  If for whatever reason you cannot make it, please email us and we’ll coordinate with the coaches.

Championship A Meets are this weekend. Here we go!  It’s show time!  Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty.  Let’s get this show on the road!

Some notes about the Championship A Meet

1. The competition is going to be tough
2. The officials are more strict about proper stroke.
3. Athletes can participate in only 2 individual events.  And they can only compete in an event they have already competed in during this season (a seed time).
4. Each team can only have 1 relay per age bracket – so a few athletes will compete in a third event on the relays.
5. There is no admission fee.
6. Please remind your swimmer that the Warm Down pool is for warming down, this is not open swim time.  Don’t get worn out before the big event.
7. Remember that Saturday morning we will be starting at event #37.  Don’t be late thinking that your swimmer doesn’t swim until later.

Please note the time for Friday night.  Yes, 3:30 is the correct time.  The hosting team gets to decide the time.

We know you are all going to do your best to get to the meet on time… but, in the event that you cannot make it, please let us know via email.  We’ll be coordinating with the coaches directly.  Thanks.

Thank you to all the volunteers, donators, parents and swimmers who helped out Saturday!

I hope your swimmer is proud of how they ended their season.

We encountered a scheduling conflict with our end of season party, so we’re still working on a final date.

Practices continue this week for our A Meet swimmers.  We’ve added back in the Silver Practice tomorrow since the High School Meet was cancelled.
