We're number 1!!!!

Conference Champs in the 200 Free Relay!!!! Awesome job!

Tuesday - Pool Temp Holding!

Practice at the middle school again today (10/29). See you at the pool!

Practice for the Week of Oct 28-Nov 1.

Practice will be at the Cloquet Middle School pool - the pool temp is still holding! The rest of the week we will take day by day - when/if the pool temp drops, we will be practicing most days at Denfeld Middle School. We will have a bus take us from the Middle school, leaving at 4:00 and returning after practice, arriving back at the middle school between 6:30-7.

These last 2 weeks are really important, please try to make the practices.

See you all tonight!

Only 4 More Meets!

Wow, the middle of the season flew by, and now we only have 4 meets left!

Tuesday, Oct. 22 - BETA Tri at Babbit
Saturday, Oct. 26  -  Conference at Lincoln Park Middle School
Saturday, Nov. 2 - Little Giants (7th-9th Invite) at Mesabi East
Fri and Sat, Nov 8 and 9 - Sections at Sauk Rapids

We have a week left of normal practices before we start rest for Sections. Make sure you are working hard and putting all your effort towards these practices.

As some of you may know, the pool heater is done. We will practice in the pool today but we are working on other arrangements for the rest of the week, we will keep you posted as soon as we figure out where we will be.

Hope everyone had a relazing MEA weekend, see you tonight at practice!

North vs South Invite tonight at Lincoln Park Middle School, 5:00

I just wanted to send a quick message that the meet tonight is at Lincoln Park Middle School, NOT Two Harbors, there was some confusion. The meet starts at 5, hope to see you there!

Practice over MEA - Oct 17th and18th

To try to accomadate and encourage as many swimmers as possible to get to practice over MEA, we are switching the practice time to 8:00-10:00 am on Thursday and Friday. Hopefully with carpooling from some of the upper classman, we can get most of the team to practice.

I know a few of you are going out of town but we'd like to see as many of you as possible!

Parent's Night Update

The Parent's Night has been moved to the FACS room in the Middle School after the meet on Tuesday, I will post signs before the meet for those that have crockpots that might need to be plugged in. Sorry for the short notice, another group needed the cafeteria that night.

Hope to see everyone there!

Something to think about...

2012 16th Place Section Times

200 Free - 2:18.3
200 IM - 2:40.8
50 Free - 27.2
100 Fly - 1:14.7
100 Free - 1:02.9
500 Free - 6:20
100 Back - 1:15.4
100 Breast - 1:20.7

These are very acheivable times for many of you. If you are new to swimming, the Section meet is a 2 day qualifying meet, you must meet a certain time standard to swim in the meet. The first day, everyone swims who has made the time standard. The second day of swimming is for the top 16 swimmers, 2 heats for each event. To qualify for state, you must be in the top heat (1-8 times) and reach the state time standard or finish 1st or 2nd in the race.

We have 6 regular season meets remaining, make sure you are all setting time goals for each meet, think about your splits, think about swimming a perfect race (good start, solid turns and reaching for that finish).

Parent's Night - Tuesday, Oct 8th

Our last home meet is coming up (Tuesday, Oct. 8th) and that means Parent's Night! We will host a potluck in the middle school cafeteria after the meet on Tuesday. Hope all the parent's can make it, you all deserve some recognition for this great group of girls.

We will have a sign up at the pool this week. Hope to see you there!
