NOTES FROM THE COACH FEBRUARY 2ND 2015

BAKER CITY HIGH SCHOOL SWIM MEET

I hope everyone had a good time at Baker City. It was the first overnight trip the team has had since leaving the Inter-Mountain Conference when we went to Bend for the Friday afternoon prelims and the Saturday finals. I didn’t expect best times for this meet but there were several highlighted by Andrew setting a new all-time school record for the 500 Freestyle where he beat his brother’s time by over a second, Allie breaking 1:08 for the 100 Fly moving up to third on the D-21 fastest 100 fly times, and  the girl’s 200 Free A relay breaking 1:52 for the first time this season. It was a nice meet to end the regular season and I hope we can do it again next year. And now on to districts.

LAST TWO WEEKS

For this next to the last week of practice, we will be keeping up the intensity and then begin to taper next week. We will practice in the morning this week and next Tuesday but skip the morning practice on the Thursday before districts. Keep up the hard work so we can be ready to do your best at districts.

PICTURES ON WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 4^TH 3:45

Pat Shortt will be at practice on Wednesday for pictures. The packets should be available soon. Be at the pool by 3:45 so we can set up for the pictures and have them completed by 4:30. We need to get in a decent practice on Wednesday. You will be able to buy an individual picture as well as a team picture.

PEE ON FRIDAY THE 13^TH BEFORE DISTRICTS

We will have one more PEE on the Friday night before districts. If your family can host the PEE talk to me or Bri. Spaghetti is the traditional menu for the dinner before districts.

DISTRICT SWIM MEET IN HOOD RIVER ON SATURDAY FEBUARY 14^th

We are still working on the time schedule for districts, but I’m guessing warm ups will start at 10:00 and prelims at 11:00. Warm-ups for finals should start at 3:30 and finals at 4:30. The bus will leave the high school on Saturday at 8:00 AM.

ANNOUNCER NEEDED FOR DISTRICT SWIM MEET plus parents to bring finger foods for coaches and officials.  Contact Scott if you are interested in helping.
