Hello again everyone!

Welcome to another year of Carroll swimming. I just wanted to let everyone know that we will be having a meeting on Monday November 29th and 7:00PM. It's in the cafeteria that nobody eats in (I can't remember if that's east or west). There will be order forms for suits and suits to try-on after the meeting. Also, if you don't already have them, we will be providing you with the necessary forms that you need to hand into the athletic department. Please hand in your forms right away. I can't let you start swimming until your physical form is on file with the athletic department.

Please make your appointment with your doctor so you can have these forms completed. If you know of any new people who are joining the team please let them know about the meeting. If you are unable to participate this year, please let me know so I don't keep bothering you with emails. Thanks! I can't wait to see you all next week!

Hello everyone!!!

Congratulations to all of you for swimming so well at championships last weekend. Thank you for an amazing season and I can't wait for next year! As per tradition, we are having an end of the season party for the swimmers, family, and friends. This year, our party will be held in the cafeteria at Carroll on March 18th at 4:30PM. This party is potluck. Please bring your favorite appetizers, main course, or dessert! If you plan on bringing some yummy food, please email me. If you're not sure what to bring, email and ask and I'll let you know what we need more of. I also have a case of water and a bottle of gatorade left over from the pasta party that I'll bring. We'll need some more drinks, plates, and plastic utensils. So, just pop me an email and let me know what you'd like to bring or find out what else we need and we'll have a great party. I'll bring big blue (our radio) for some entertainment. Remember to bring your families so we can all have a good time! I'll be talking to everyone soon.

Girls Preliminaries
Warmups: directly following the end of the boys (approx. 12:30PM)
Start time: approx 1:45PM

Please be there no later than 12:30PM. Also, parking is sometimes a problem since the boys are leaving when you're coming, just a heads up. Also, you're not allowed to enter the pool area until the boys are finished. If for some reason the boys meet runs long and you're there, just wait outside the pool until they're finished.

We need to provide a runner for the girls afternoon session.

We will need to provide two timers for Lane 2 during finals.
Again, if there are extra volunteers you can split the time.
There will be quite a few of our swimmers that will be participating on Sunday. Even if you did not qualify in the top 18 to swim again on Sunday, I encourage you to come and cheer on your teammates. Sundays finals are fun and exciting so it would definitely be worth your while.
If you have any questions, please give me a call or send me an email. Remember, our pasta party is on Friday! Also, I'll be sending out directions to both Widener and LaSalle tonight.

Thanks!
