Swimmers and parents,

I hope everyone is enjoying the very warm weekend.  There will be a large amount of information in this message, so read it all the way through.  

Practice 

Normal practice on Monday and full team practice on Wednesday from 4:00 - 5:30.  This practice will allow us to prepare for our first meet and get to know people in the other practice group.  

Meets

Our first meet is on Thursday August 20th vs Mid Carolina at the Newberry YMCA.  We will leave early from school to arrive at the pool by 4:45 for warm-ups.  Edwards students will be picked up and transported to Daniel to eat and load the bus.  Swimmers should bring chairs and swim suits to school.  The meet information will be posted on the calendar once I receive it from Mid Carolina.    

The second meet is The Einstein Splashdown on Saturday August 22nd hosted by Greenville High School.  There will be no bus to this meet and swimmers should be transported by parents to the Greenville County Aquatic Center.  The pool deck opens at 7:15 am and warm-ups will start at 7:30 am.  I will post our lanes and exact time to warm-up when I get that information from the host.  This is a great meet with lots of swimmers.  It should be finished around 1:00pm.  I still need 1 more timer to volunteer for the second half of the meet.  Volunteers get free admission to the meet.  General admission is $6 per person. 

Donations for Bus Snacks and Drinks

We like to have snacks and drinks on the bus for swimmers before and after the meets.  I am requesting donations to fill the snack boxes and cooler.  Granola bars, trail mix, fruit snacks, popcorn, goldfish, little oranges and other appropriate snacks will be in these boxes.  If you are able, please send these things to me so I can fill the boxes and cooler.  Small waters, gatorade, and body armour work well for pre and post meet drinks.  The small sizes are not wasted as much as the large sizes. 

We will provide a chick fil a sandwich to each swimmer prior to loading the bus.  Julane Hamon is going to serve the kids, but we also like to have chips and fruit.  If you are willing to help her or donate chips and/or fruit reach out to her.    [email protected]

Home Meet 9-2-26

We will host our first home meet on August 2.  We need lots of volunteers to run the meet.  Please see the jobs on the meet schedule and volunteer if you are able.  We will have the EVOLVE food truck at this meet serving various options.  Plan to support the food truck and have your dinner at the meet!

Email me with any questions.

See you in the pool,

Coach Henry
