Hi swim families--

Our practice schedule is in your handbook and on our website at aquagators.com

We're up to over 90 swimmers on our team. Over the next two weeks, we will continue to focus on drills, form and technique. ALL SWIMMERS benefit from this, as they continue to get into shape and get more ready for more challenging workouts. In fact, improving technique is the single most important key to improvement.

-If you're going to be on the West Valley Swim Team come early August, please spread the following word:

Low cost physicals and all the other paper work you need to be on the team happens this Saturday at the West Valley cafeteria.

It's low cost, socially fun, and comprehensive. Please help spread the word. Juniors and seniors 8-10 a.m.; freshman and sophomores 10-noon. While there, if you run across an athlete "on the bubble" about which sport to choose in the fall, please tell them they can attend a free practice with the Aquagators.

-Senior students planning on being on the WV Swim team come early August that plan to do College Connection--please keep in mind when signing up for classes that our practices start at 2:55p.m. Please email me if you are planning on doing College Connection--we may have to swing a deal.

Coach Carri, Coach Steven, and I will continue to evaluate swimmers to determine which ones should move up to the next group. Keep in mind, this is based on current and projected attendance, how well they perform the drills, their times in the I.M. and 200 free at last August's NVAL's, age, focus and maturity level, and attitude. Some swimmers, one by one, will move to the next group over the next 4 weeks or so.

Coach Marc
