Hi Everyone:
As I sit watching Nationals (USA
swimming's biggest swim meet) Swim Meet I am excited for what is yet to come
for all the swimmers on FutureSwim. Tomorrow starts the first day of our
season. I look forward to meeting all the new swimmers.
For those of you joining later
please send your registration 2 weeks prior to your start date.
Our website is up and
running. Go to www.futureswim.com
All emails sent out, will be posted on the website. The registration form
is posted under the "blog archive" on the far right side. The
directions to Lovett are also found under the tab "Practice
Facility". For your convenience here is the direct link. http://www.futureswim.com/p/practice-facility.html
Here is the bad news I found out
late today, Lovett did not authorize the Wed. practice day. The reason
for this is that this is a very busy time on the Lovett campus during football
season. The AD is very concerned about traffic and parking. This is not a
permanent no and I hope to change his mind with more accurate
information. Once I really know who all will be coming I want to present
to him the real number of cars we have coming to FutureSwim and hopefully show
we will not impact parking or traffic negatively. So I'll of course let
you know if there is any change. I apologize that this is late getting you
the decision, but all my conversations so far with the Aquatics Director
have been positive for Wed. happening. I am very pleased that the Sat.
and Sun. times will continue as planned. Please contact me if you need to
discuss options or let me know what you plan to do. Go with Sat. and
Sun or switch to one day. Luckily, this change didn't affect
too many, but for those of you that it does let me know.
The equipment needed for your
swimmer is a suit, (board shorts for boys not ideal but will be accepted until
you can get some jammers, one piece suit for girls) goggles, competitive swim
fins, swim caps for girls and boys with long hair and should be brought to
every practice. The school has kickboards that we use. If you have
any questions or don't have an item for this weekend, we will work around
it. We will post pictures of fin styles and suit style pictures and
places they can be purchased. We should have this on the website in the next
couple of days.
See you all soon!
