Way to go Cudas!  Even though the final score did not turn out in our favor, there are many highlights from Saturday to celebrate!  Times from time trials dropped like crazy; we have the most courageous swimmers as no one shied away from jumping in; our first time swimmers successfully completed their first meet and most, if not  all, had a great time.  Looking ahead to this week, I wanted to mention the following:

Swim caps are still for sale and are $10.  See Julie Lundquist (Anna and Rune's mom) if you are wanting one.  Also, Tiffany Graebner (Cam and Carter's mom) will be placing the final Tshirt order Wednesday morning.  Please see her if you would like a Cuda Team Shirt for this season.

Practices:  Now that the season is off and going, we will be needing to restructure some practices. Coach Melissa will be letting parents know if specific practice times will be best for their swimmers.  If you have a conflict and your swimmer cannot swim in that practice, see me.  We are also needing swimmers to swim in one practice only.  With so many swimmers this season, it is not only a safety issue but it also takes away from the coaching time of the other swimmers.  

Tuesday and Wednesday will be meet entry days.  I will have the computer or ipad (or both) at practice to show everyone how you can register your child for the meet on Saturday.  This truly does help us get meet entries entered, confirm that you will be attending, and allows Coach Melissa to strategically plan for the meet better as she is not spending all of her time on entries but instead on the whole picture.  

Friday:  We will have another pep rally.  It will be a potluck dinner and there will be a signup online for those willing to bring a dish.  We will have the pool open for some fun games and free swim after practice.  

Saturday:  Our meet will be at Enchanted Valley.  The address is 14910 Enchanted Valley Dr.  Cypress, TX 77429.  I will be sending more details later this week.

Looking forward to swimming stronger, faster, and more confidently this week!  Let's mark of some swimming goals!  See you at the pool.
