Happy October SWIVE!

We have had a few weeks of swim practice and one cancelled dive practice (Due to weather). Here are some important things to know. But first, HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY, ANA MCDONALD! (:

1. Saturday is open to swimmers. It is labeled as Dive Only but you may swim as well. We have 9 spots available for swimmers. Practice is 8 am to 10 am. Most of the Divers need to leave around 9:15 am in order to get to Gymnastics. Lockers are available for changing as long as only (2) are in the locker rooms at a time and the doors remain open.

a. Bring extra towels, chamois, parka. The pool is warm but the outside air can be a bit chilly.

b. Swimmers should bring the clearest goggles. Dark goggles will make it difficult to see as the pool is not well lit in the morning.

2. We will be starting afternoon Dryland Workouts on Wednesday specific to SWIVE and run by our captains. Coach Draggoo will be overseeing these practices. The practices are at Miller Field and go from 3 pm to 4 pm. Mrs. London is working on setting these up.

a. Do not bring valuables in your car or on the field. (IE - Laptops or purses)

3. There are some conditioning practices for ALL SPORTS on Tuesday and Thursday that you may also sign up for. These are run by our athletic trainer and a great way to meet other athletes if you are new to Holy Names.

4. The captains and coaches are working on some lunchtime bonding. I will send some more information out on this if we decide to move forward with it.

5. Sadly, I found out that we will not be allowed to have any friendly competitions during this Out-of-Season time. (I knew it was too good to be true.) 

6. If you have not signed up for SwimTopia, please do so at this time. It is the main way I can communicate with all of you and a necessity when doing swim meets. The link is below. You just need to click on the green button to register. Both parents and athletes register.

Have a great weekend! And do not feel pressured to do practices. This is for fun right now and a way to get some exercise and connect with your teammates.

Official Season begins March 3rd through May 3rd

Take care and be healthy,

Coach Loy
