Weekly Rapids Update

Dear Parents,
WELCOME to the first week of morning practice. As you can see the coaches are also adjusting to the new schedule, but don’t worry practices will start to run more smoothly as we all figure it out.
I will be sending out a weekly email with reminders and information about events, practices, or anything else you all need to know about. Here are a few things to think about for this week:

1.) Practice- We know that peoples schedules fluctuate, but to make practice run as smoothly as possible try and stick to the assigned times below. If you have talked to me personally about a different schedule, don’t worry-

13 and up 6:45-8:45
Age 9-12 7:15-8:45
Age 8 and under 7:45- 8:45
Please remember that you are responsible for your child until they are supposed to get in the water. We encourage swimmers to come early and stretch before swimming but please do not let them get in the pool. It becomes way to chaotic for the coach.

And PLEASE bring your goggles and cap to practice!!!!!!!!!!!

2.) A T- Shirt order information sheet will be placed in your box on this week so be looking for it.
3.) Swim suits can be purchased at Kiefer Swim Shop in Plano. Remember our suit color is solid royal blue, and be sure to have them put the Rapids logo on the suit. You can also take your own suit and the logo can be added for a fee.
4.) YMCA Campers- The coaches now know that you all need to get out a few minutes early to be on time to camp. After you change be sure that you come back outside and sit under the covered area so that we know when you are leaving and can take you where you need to go.
5.)Results from last weekends meet will be sent out and I will update them as soon as possible.
6.) MEET ENTRIES- Be sure to fill out your meet entries page and turn it in to my file in the box BY WEDNESDAY”S PRACTICE. If you don’t get it in on time you may not be able to swim in the meet this Saturday.
Remember you have to swim in at least 2 meets if you want to be eligible for the Lone Star Championship meet.


Thanks to everyone for the great meet on Saturday. It was coach Stacey’s and my first meet with you guys and we are looking forward to more. Have a good week. Email your questions. Thank you,

The coaches
