Hello everyone!! 

We had a great weekend!! I am so proud of all the swimmers and divers for their accomplishments this weekend at the Big 9 meet. Below are a few notes for the whole team. I will send a separate email to the Section swimmers. Divers, wait to hear from Coach Andy. 

 

  1. The banquet is on Monday, December 1, 2025at the Mayo High School cafeteria at 6pm. It is a potluck; stay tuned for more directions soon.
  2. If you have not written a note for the seniors, the envelopes are in the pool area. I also have one for our two senior managers, Jerrinee and Elsa, as well as Sayuri. 
  3. You will get a list of your times/scores at the banquet. If you need them before that, let me know.
  4. Swimmers, please clean out your lockers sooner than later. If you do not, the contents will go in the trash at the end of the year.

 

It has been a joy coaching the JV swimmers. You have raised some very thoughtful, hard-working amazing individuals. I will them, and all of you, very much. 

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MAYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Section team and families!

Congratulations on an amazing meet Saturday!! I am so proud of your tenacity, mental toughness and your ENERGY!! It was a joyful day

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.

Hello everyone!

1.I am sad that this is the last week with our JV swimmers. This group has been amazing – hardworking, versatile and very sweet and enjoyable. I will miss them.

2.Tomorrow the JV swimmers will fill out secret swimmer forms and get their secret swimmers. They will buy a gift worth no more than $20 for their secret swimmer for the meet on Saturday. If JV swimmers want to leave a note for their secret swimmer every day this week, that would be fun. I will explain more at the team meeting tomorrow.
