What To Expect At Meets...

Athletes & Parents,

Wednesday is our first dual meet against Palmer High School. All athletes participating in the meet will be excused from CHS at 2:45 with the expectation they will arrive and be ready to get in the water at Palmer no later than 3:15. If your daughter does not drive and you are unable to give her a ride to Palmer, we will assign rides on Tuesday at practice to ensure everyone has a ride. If you are NOT comfortable with your daughter riding with a teammate, please let me know via email or text.

The meet will start promptly at 4pm. All dual meets run in the below order:
200 Medley Relay (50 backstroke, 50 breast stroke, 50 butterfly, 50 freestyle)
200 Individual Freestyle
200 Individual Medley (same as relay but one swimmer completes all strokes)
50 Individual Freestyle
BREAK- DIVING (6 dives per individual)
100 Individual Butterfly
100 Individual Freestyle
500 Individual Freestyle
200 Freestyle Relay
100 Individual Backstroke
100 Individual Breast stroke
400 Freestyle Relay
*There will be 2 heats of all above events.

All swimmers are expected to stay until the end of the meet unless they have been excused prior. All athletes are expected to clean up after themselves. We always leave pool & gym areas BETTER than we found them so you MUST pick up after yourself. All athletes are on their own to find a ride home from Palmer HS. If this is an issue, please let me know.

Unfortunately suits are not scheduled to be delivered until Friday so if you have swam for Coronado before, please bring your last year's suit and any prior year suits to loan out if you are comfortable with that. If this is your first year, please try to have a solid color suit, ideally a black or red one. If you expect this to be an issue, please talk to me.

We are a classy team so please keep that in mind. Good sportsmanship is a must. While some teams and athletes may not act accordingly, we choose to be the bigger team and always congratulate our opponents and cheer everyone on. CHOOSE CLASSY!

Last, I can't stress how important it is that an athlete contact me ASAP if they are sick the day of the meet whether that be not attending school at all or leaving school early. YOU MUST LET ME KNOW  so I can make the necessary changes with the meet lineup.

I am more than excited for our first meet. We've been working hard and now it's time to show it. Let's have a great meet!

Palmer Entries (Wednesday, Dec. 3rd)

This may change depending on attendance Monday & Tuesday. You must be at practice BOTH days if you want to swim. If you are sick Tuesday and/or Wednesday, you will be removed from the meet. Please let me know ASAP via text.

Touch The Wall- Swim Documentary

Touch the Wall is the story of two amazing women and their journey to swimming's highest stage - the 2012 London Olympics. The young phenom(Missy Franklin) is just beginning her career and is saddled with mile-high expectations; the veteran (Kara Lynn Joyce) is trying to rediscover the juice that took her to the previous two Olympics. Touch the Wall is a story of winning and losing, of commitment, and triumph through adversity. It’s also a story of family, of loving what you do, and having fun with the people around you. WEDNESDAY, NOV. 26TH AT 12:30PM AT CARMIKE 13 CHAPEL HILLS MALL. Tickets available at www.tugg.com/events/12007

November 14th Swim/Dive-A-Long Info

We will be having our annual swim/dive-a-long Friday, Nov. 14th 7pm until Saturday 7am (12 straight hours) the following morning. As this is one of our largest fundraisers of the season, please begin collecting donations based on roughly 160K yards 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 14th-15th. During this event the Cougars anticipate to swim roughly 100 miles collectively as a team as well as perform 200+ 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!

As this event gets closer I will communicate the amount of money you need to bring to cover the costs of pizza and crafts as well as what type of food you need to bring. All donations will be due Dec. 15th.
