Coach's comments.....
  I was impressed with the competition today. All the swimmers were focused
at the task at hand and I am always happy to see that attitude come through. Thankfully, there were no stroke and turn judges present because I think quite
a few of the swimmers may have been disqualified if that were the case.
This annual event brings the team together and gives the swimmers a
moment to relax before the real swimming starts.
 Have a great Thanksgiving. Enjoy the time off. Help your parents with
chores around the house. Rake some leaves. See you Monday.
--Coach

TWO IMPORTANT ITEMS

1. Each student who wants to participate on the swim team MUST
    have a health physical completed before he/she practices.

2. To compete in a swim meet for the school you MUST have a
    current team suit.  There will be one exception, and one exception
    only, and that is a swimmer may compete in a fastskin suit in lieu
    of a team suit.

Ordering a Team Suit

If you have not provided me, as of 2:00 PM on November 15, 2006,  with the information needed for an order
you can now place the order personally.

Transportation
 Students will be responsible for their own transportation to and from practice and also to all meets. In the past upper class students, with cars, have transported underclassmen to school after practice. Students should park on the left hand side of Franklin Street. The right hand side of Franklin Street is a tow-a-way zone. I stay at practice until ALL students have left to make sure no student is stranded at VCU. I have, and am happy to, personally drive a student to school that does not have a ride.
Maggie Walker is on my way to work so it is not an inconvenience.


Comments
 The Athletic Department and Sports Boosters fund the swim team. Please consider joining the Sports Boosters and contributing to MWGSGIS athletics per their schedule.

I understand that the school has swimmers that compete year around with clubs in the area. I encourage them to try to practice with MWGSGIS as often as they can, however I understand they are already practicing upwards of six times a week and they might not be able to fit any more practice time in their schedule. I do expect them to come to our meets if they have told me they are available.  For those swimmers practicing with their club team I require that they
provide me this form with the number of times they are practicing per
week and have it signed by their club coach.
