Rochester Mayo High School Athletics

All-Conference winners will be announced in the next few days. 

There are a lot of details in this email; please read it carefully. If your daughter is not on this email, please share it with her.

1. Taper practices start tomorrow. We will swim right after school (getting in at 3:45 SHARP) until 5:30ish at first. As the next two weeks go on, those practices will get shorter.
2. No one can miss any taper practices. It is imperative that you are at every practice. If you’re late because of a club or schoolwork, please make up the yards you miss.
3. The Section line up may change; I will share any changes as soon as possible.
4. Section prelims will be Wednesday, November 5, 2025, at 5:30pm at the Rec Center. (Warmups start at 4:00pm – we are in Lane 1). The entire team will swim at this meet. The team will wear fast suits for this meet. If you need a new one, I would work on that tomorrow. Let me know how I can help you.
5. Section finals will be on Friday, November 7, 2025, at 5:30pm. (Warmups start at 4:00pm– we are in Lane 1) The whole team should be there, but only those who make it into the top 16 will compete.
6. Starting on Monday, October 27, the swimmers will be exchanging secret swimmer gifts. They’ll get their secret swimmer early this week. They can get their secret swimmer a small gift for Monday through Thursday of that week, then a larger gift for Friday to exchange before warmups. I will explain more to the team. Please reach out if you have any questions.
7.  There are two new rules this year
   1. No Photographers on deck (sorry, Andrew!)
   2.  We can only have 4 coaches on deck, and no other team members other than swimmers. I will submit a list and you will get stamped in. It will be me, Scott, Jessica and Ella.
