Swimming Preseason Information

Swimming Preseason Information

Parent Meeting: We will be having a parent meeting for all 2020 Swim Families on Thursday, February 6th at 6:00pm in the St. Francis Dining Hall. We will cover a number of things during the meeting for the upcoming season and hope you can attend.

"Office Hours" Each Wednesday between now and the end of the season I will be on campus during Lunch for the swimmers to come and ask questions, talk to me about their goals so we can set up a plan towards achieving those goals, etc. During this time I will be located in the gym or the athletics area of campus.

Team Store: Our apparel store is now open! At the below links you can find shirts, jackets, sweats, hats, etc. These stores close on Sunday, February 16th at 11:59PM. Please do not wait until the last minute to place your order!

Team Unify: Just a reminder that each swimmer must register on the team's Team Unify website BEFORE Monday, February 10th. We will utilize this website for meet sign in/sign out as well as for any parent volunteer opportunities throughout the season. Swimmers will not be allowed to swim on Monday without registering for this site and the absence will count toward their unexcused absences. Team Unify Link www.teamunify.com/rechssfhs

Final Forms: A reminder that all swimmers MUST be cleared to participate for the spring season prior to Monday, February 10th! Please make sure you have logged into Final Forms and completed all the necessary paperwork and have submitted your physical form by the end of this week so that you can participate on Monday. Swimmers will not be allowed to swim on Monday without completing their physical/related paperwork and the absence will count toward their unexcused absences.

Schedule for the First Two Weeks: As stated at the Interest Meeting, the first two weeks of the season (2/10-2/21) are an evaluation period used to determine which group each swimmer will be placed in for the season. This time will be used as an opportunity for each of the swimmers to get to know every member of the swim staff as well as a time for the staff to get to know each of the swimmers. Practices times during these two weeks will vary day to day but please reference the schedule below (as well as the Team Unify Site). The finalized group rosters will be posted on the Team Unify site by midnight on Saturday 2/22 (I will also send an email when it has been posted).

Practices will begin on 2/24 by assigned group (please see schedule distributed at Interest Meeting for those times)
