Hi Team-

I want to take this time today to give you all a few necessary reminders and updates. 

First off, I want to congratulate Sumi Koerner, our one 10&Under Age Group Qualifier for a fabulous meet. She bravely faced some fierce competition and took down some time in her 100IM and 50 fly. Way to go Sumi! 

Next update, is that our team shirts are in! I will try to be to practice early today to hand them out, assuming I have tunneled out of my house by then. I better start tunneling now. I would love some help from a few volunteers to hand out the shirts, so I can focus on setting up practice. I also want to say thank you to our sponsor Folino's Pizza for making these shirts possible. 

Moving on to outstanding balances, please pay them. We have roughly 6 weeks left of practice time and need to have funds in our account to finish out the season. I will print out statements to include with the shirts. If there are any questions on how to settle up your bill please reach out to me. I will be sending out more reminders this week or next. 

Sign up your swimmer up for the Cupid's Cup home meet by 8pm today. We will do warm-ups at 5:30pm tomorrow and start the meet at 6pm. After the meet finishes, I would like to have a brief team meeting. So please stick around. It will not be long and all of your kiddos will be in relays at the end of the meet anyway and I am sure they would welcome more time in chatting in the locker room (especially the 11-12 girls)!

I haven't opened up sign up for our 2 session home meet yet (March 7th and 8th), because I am trying to see if I can get it sanctioned (so it can count). The biggest hurdle I am running into is no Administrative Official (AO). This is a problem I am going to keep running into unless I can convince one of us to go through the training...hint, hint. I have nearly convinced my husband, but it would be nice to have someone I am not related to doing it because I do have 3 kids that need someone driving them around when I am on deck. 

Last item of business, I am submitting draft NHSA (March 14th and 15th at UVAC) entries tomorrow. Please let me know if your family cannot make it otherwise you are entered. See the attached entry list. 

Thank you all. I hope you all are staying safe and warm out there. Take care and see you at the pool in a couple of hours!

Coach Hilary
