Good Luck at States!

(Please email me NLT 1900 on Wednesday if you plan to ride the bus to cheer for the team. The bus leaves the school at 12:30 and returns at midnight. Bring $20 for admission and dinner. Also bring a water bottle and snacks.)

Hi Everyone!

The NHIAA State Championships are next Saturday! Twelve swimmers made individual cuts this year - a record!

The bus leaves at 12:30 from the school. Swimmers who would like to come cheer are welcome (please email me and let me know you are coming.) I expect to return around midnight.

Hi Everyone,

Since all the other teams scheduled to come to UVAC have to drive over the mountain, our meet was cancelled and we have been rescheduled to participate in the Lebanon meet at CCBA. Please be there at 6pm. Our warm up is at 6:15 sharp.

This is especially important for those swimmers trying to get the four required meets to compete at States. (We only have two more and the Dec 6th meet doesn't count because there weren't NHIAA officials.)

If you are unable to make it, due to the weather, please let me know ASAP.

See you there.

And we now have 12 swimmers qualified for States!

In spite of illness and injury, the girls were undefeated and the boys were 7-1 this evening against Lebanon, Concord, Keene, Kearsarge, Derryfield, Pembroke, Plymouth,and Fall Mountain.

Thank you to all the parents, siblings and friends who helped time. We couldn't have done it without you! It was great seeing some of last year's swimmers back to visit (and help time!)

The results are posted on Direct Athletics and the website.

Hi Everyone!

Hope everyone had a nice holiday and is ready for the New Year!

Our next practice will be Wednesday, January 4th; and will be the Lapathon. I've attached another copy of the Lapathon form, which was handed out at the Parent-Athlete meeting. Feel free to duplicate!

Our next meet is Friday January 6th, at UVAC.

See you Wednesday!

Coach

Both the girls and the boys were undefeated last Friday in our meet at Colby Sawyer College. There were two more State Qualifiers (James and Connor) and lots of best times.

The results have been posted at the RESULTS tab above.

There were MANY last minute emails from people who could not come to the meet. This causes two problems:

1.) We have a contract for the bus. We cannot cancel a 5:30 bus at 5:15. We had to pay for the second bus, even though we could have all fit on one. That was several days of pool time.

We will be having (optional)practices during break. If you are in town, I recommend coming so you don't get out of shape and have to start over.

Week of 18 - 24 December:
M - W regular practice times
T - no practice
F - 10am - 12pm practice, 12pm - 2pm Start & Turn Clinic

Week of 25 - 31 December
M- W - F 10am - pm practice

Week of Jan 2 - 6
M - T no practice
W - Th regular evening practice
F - Home meet at UVAC

Hi Everyone,

Due to scheduling at Colby Sawyer, we will not be allowed into the pool area until 6:35. Therefore, we will be leaving later. Please be at the high school at 5:15pm instead of 4:30.

Thanks

Coach
