Roayls 1-2-3 – Week 3
What a great week of training. I am getting to know more kids. Hopefully they came home this week with some good information. Still working out training days and what the kids need this time of year. All the coaches are trying to get to all the swimmers about stroke techniques and things they need to change. It was nice to have Coach Dan and Coach P on deck helping.
The week of September 22, 2024, I will be out of town on vacation that was planned long before I got this opportunity to coach your kids. We are having a coaching meeting this week to make sure that every practice is covered while I am away.

ADDITIONAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
HSE Swim Team Chili Cookoff: This is an annual event where the HS parents gather and have a chili cookoff. Great way for Freshman parents to meet the rest of the parents. Save the date of October 27th, from 1pm-5pm. More details coming soon and check the HS parent Facebook page.
SSC Barn Dance: This year’s barn dance is October 26th from 5-8pm. More details soon but please plan on attending.
Team Suits: There has been some confusion on what suit to buy this year for the senior team. All Royals swimmers just need to buy one suit. You can leave it blank or have the high school logo put on it. You will only need one suit for club and high school.
Equipment: We still have swimmers with missing equipment. Very important that they get their gear this week. Please ask your swimmer if they are missing something.
Snorkel, Pull Buoy, Hand Paddles, Short Fins, Long Fins, Drag sox
(Size 45) D-Band, Tempo Trainer (Royals 2-3)
Absence: I have attached an absence form for the swimmer to fill out if they are missing a practice for any reason. They need to turn this in before they are absent. It helps me know who to expect at each practice and I can keep track of those who do not show up. Thanks for your help.
Breakfast: The Laneline Café has been stocked and the kids have been getting some good breakfast food. Thanks to all the parents that help get this put together. The swimmers are responsible for keeping the café clean throughout the season. Let’s hope they do a good job.
Senior Trip: The trip itinerary has been posted to the website. All communications will be to those who are going on the trip.
Questions: If you have any lingering questions, please email me and I will get back to you.
Thank you all and look forward to a great week of training
