A Few Things...

Swim-A-Long: Awesome, awesome, awesome job to everyone who participated in the Swim-A-Long. As a team, coach included, we swam roughly 100,000 yards or 62.5 miles as well as 100+ dives. GREAT JOB LADIES. Now get out there and collect your donations if you haven't started. I will be collecting those December 2nd. A huge thanks to the LaRoys & Terry Martinez for all their help!!! If you haven't signed the thank you card for Terry, please do so Monday.

T-Shirts & Suit Orders: Please have those for me TOMORROW. I need to place these orders. If I do not have this tomorrow you will unfortunately have to order a suit on your own.

Goals: Be thinking goals. Chat with your coaches if you have no idea where to start. Forms are due Thursday, Nov. 21st.

Practice Times: Please note tomorrow we break into 2 groups. The 1st group will be in the water 3:15-5:15/ dryland 5:15-5:45. The second group will be drylanding 4:30-5:00 and then in the water 5:00-6:15. Please note if you have been practicing in lanes 4 & 5, you will be with the second group starting at 4:30. For now, lanes 1,2 & 3 will practice with the 1st group but this is NOT permanent as coaches need to see where some folks are at who just showed up last week. We will be doing some time trials as well as accessing stroke technique, turns and starts to better place swimmers.

Swim & Dive A Long

We will be having our annual swim/dive-a-long tomorrow evening 7pm until Saturday 7am (12 straight hours). Please make sure you are collecting donations based on 160K worth of swimming. This is roughly 100 miles that will have been swum collectively as a team. Please feel free to cut and paste the below message to email/ text out to friends and family in an effort to collect donations.

To Whom It May Concern:

I'm writing you to ask for your support during CHS's Ladies Swim and Dive A Long on November 15th-16th. During this event the Cougars anticipate to swim roughly 100 miles collectively as a team as well as perform 500+ dives from 7pm until 7am. Through this event we hope to raise money to help support necessary expenses such as pool maintenance, equipment, meet fees, uniforms, etc. Not only is this a fundraising event but an opportunity to bring the team together for team building and fun. Please make out any checks to Coronado High School. Thank you for your support of our team and- GO COUGARS!
