Homecoming
This Friday is homecoming. Parents, your swimmer or diver should have been sharing the information that was given to them at practice about this event.
The girls will be swimming for an hour after school on Friday. The girls chose to do a leau theme for this years homecoming parade.
Following practice on Friday, the girls will walk to Costello Elementary school to particpate in the homecoming parade. If the girls would like, they can bring a bag of candy to toss at the children. We will be arriving to Costello around 4:30ish. The parade will begin at 5:30.
Due to my brother getting married this weekend, I will be out of town starting Friday. Hope everyone has a great time at homecoming!

Oakland County Meet
Oakland County Meet is this weekend at Waterford Mott Highschool. Those who have qualified will be swimming in the meet. Usually, the county meet is mandatory for all to attend even if you have not qualified. Since we are only taking relays this year, the meet is not mandatory that you attend. It is a great experience to see and nice to have other team members there to cheer on those who are swimming. Feel free to go even if it is for a short time! It will mean a lot to the girls who will be swimming in the meet.
The girls who are swimming in the meet are: Nina Lu, Lizzy Roen, Lynsey Williams, Carrington Sheridan, Megan Sterba, and Michaela Smith! Congrats Ladies
For the girls who are swimming, be at Waterford by 9:15 for warm ups. The meet will start at 11:00.

Labor Day Practice
Practice is from 3-5 on Monday. Please do your best to make this practice. We have been working so hard in the pool and missing three days of practice will definitely be moving us backwards not forwards. We will most likely be getting out early due to school the next day!

Things to think about during a meet!
Meets and races are the best part of competitive swimming. They are the reason that we train. Competition is the testing ground for the training that you do. Every set you swim, every repeat, every turn, every workout gives you something to use in your races. Swim meets give you the opportunity to face new challenges, competitors and environments. But, hopefully, your preparation that you have done in workout will allow to work toward success!
Here are some things to remember and think about for every meet:
1. Talk to your coach before your race. Have a plan for how you are going to swim your races.
2. After you finish your race, the FIRST thing you do is head to the cool-down pool. Cool-down is critical to recovering from your race and helps prepare you for your next race.
3. After you finish your race, check in with your coach to discuss your swim and check your splits. Take ownership of your race and know what went well and what needs to be worked on.
4. Bring fluids and snacks to help you maintain your energy level. Drink lots of water!! Gatorade is a great recovery drink AFTER your swims.
5. Cheer for your teammates. There is nothing better than competing when you have your team cheering you on!
6. No matter what the results, there is a lesson to be learned from EVERY swim. There is always something you can do better to go faster the next time! If you have a rough swim, you learn from you and work on things to make the next one better. If you have a great swim, use that excitement and energy to keep going faster the next race!
7. Remember that if you have done the work in practice, the meet will be no different! You get the lane to yourself and get to put your hard work to the test!
8. And most importantly, last but not least – HAVE FUN!!
