Weekly Update: High School Swim Team/Candy

Aquadawgs!

Thanks for another great week.

This week all the groups worked on breaststroke and butterfly. The intermediate and advanced groups also put everything together in a 100 IM.

Thank you again to everyone who brought candy to donate to the YMCA trunk or treat. The winners of the raffle have been posted on the blog and will be notified by email with more information about how to set up the private lessons.

We have now decided to open up a high school swim team group. This group will be available to high school aged swimmers only. This group will partner with the other Aquadawg groups and the high school swimmers will be able to participate in those swim meets. The goals of this group are to help swimmers stay in swim shape all year round and prepare them for high school swim season. The practice times will be (Nov 3- Dec 19) MON/WED/FRI 5:00-6:30 pm at the Ahwatukee YMCA. It is $72 for facility members and $97 for program members. Swimmers who are moving up from advanced to the high school team will be charged an additional $21 for facility members and $29 for program members. If you are interested in this group (even if you are just moving from advanced to high school) please email Deb: djrothstein@vosymca.org

Please spread the word about this team if you know anyone that would like to join. If we can get this group running it will be a huge step for our team and provide a future for the swimmers who will be in high school in a few years.

Our first swim meet is November 8th at 7:00 am. The form has now been posted. You can get it on the top bar of this blog or on the Aquadawg webpage here. The form is due to me by November 6th. Swimmers are only allowed to swim up to 4 events. Please put those dates on your calendar and get the form to me ASAP.

Thanks

Coach Alisha
