IA Meet and LCB Meet
The deadline for committing to these meets is this evening.  I would like all of our Group 3 swimmers to swim on Friday and Saturday of the IA meet.  If they would like to swim Sunday they are of course free to select that day also.  High School swimmers will need a waiver for this meet.  Waivers are done by each school's athletic director

NASA Sprint MeetThe meet letter and our entry our attached.  You can always log in to your account on our website to find your swimmer's events.  You can also use the OnDeck app.  Parents please write your swimmer's event numbers on their hand/arm.  It will alleviate quite a bit of work for our coaches if this is done prior to your swimmer arriving at the pool.

Here are the pertinent times for this weekend's meet:
Saturday and Sunday AM Sessions (all 10 and under swimmers)
Warm-ups 7:00-7:50 our swimmers need to be on deck by 6:45
Meet starts 8:05

Saturday and Sunday PM sessions (all 11 and over swimmers)
Warm-ups 12:00-1:00 -- our swimmers need to be on deck by 11:45
Meet Starts 1:15
Evaluations for G1 and G2
Over the last week or so our coaching staff has been handing out evaluations to our Group 1 and Group 2 swimmers.  Parents should have also received an email copy of the evaluation.  Our staff has been looking for ways to increase motivation and find ways to improve swimmer's (and parent's) experience with our club.  This is our first attempt at this and we will be evaluating ourselves and the tools we are using in the process.  We plan to do two more evaluations this season.  One prior to Christmas beak and prior to the February CON meet. If you have any suggestions or would like to share your thoughts, good or bad, please let me know.  If you did not receive an evaluation please contact your swimmer's primary coach. 

2nd T-shirt order
We have had a few swimmers join the team after we placed our initial order.  I have also heard from some of our parents they would like to order some shirts as well.  I spoke with our vendor and if we can get at least 12 shirts ordered we can place an order.  If you are interested in a T-shirt or your swimmer has not yet received a T-shirt please let me know ASAP.
 
Golden Goggles
The Golden Goggles is USA Swimming's annual awards ceremony for their athletes and coaches.  It also serves as their fundraiser for the USA Swimming  Foundation.  Each year they recognize several outstanding performances.  This year one of our very own has been nominated for an award.  Bethany Galat, a senior at Texas A&M and former SBSC member, has been nominated for the "Breakout Performer of the Year".  You can click here to read Bethany's short bio and to cast your vote for her.

Advertising Credit 
Selling a one year ad on our website could earn you anywhere from $50 to almost $500. Here is the link for more information. 

Another easy way to earn credit for your swim club account is to hang our recruiting posters out in the public. For every poster you hang you will receive a $5 credit up to $25. Once you hang the poster post a pic of it on your Facebook page (or other social site) and tag the club.
