Week Of September 19, 2010

REMINDER for all SMAC families:

SwimPro, Inc., will be at the pool this coming Sunday, September 26 from 3:00 p.m. until 4:30 p.m. All families are encouraged to come by and have their children fitted for swim suits, buy equipment (mesh bags, snorkels, goggles, fins, etc...), and pick up anything else you may need for the swimmers in your family.

If you have any questions about what your particular child might need, feel free to email me at erikcollins19@gmail.com


Balcony Update-

As we've mentioned before, no parents are allowed on deck during workout (or meets, unless working as an official), as per USA Swimming's Insurance Regulations. The balcony here at the Hall Aquatic Center is the ideal spot for any parent to watch workout if you plan to stay at the pool while your child is swimming. However, the balcony is not yet finished and subsequently, still closed. The plexiglass necessary to finish the job should be here anyday to be installed, then all that is needed is an inspection by the county. Once the inspection is completed and the county is satisfied with everything, then it will be open. Parents are encouraged to make use of the balcony to watch your child during workout.


SCHOOL- Believe it or not, we're already into the last few days of September, which means the "honeymoon is over" for the new school year. Everybody should be on top of their school work, and have a routine that helps them work well (and work in a timely manner). Parents are reminded that each student-athlete on SMAC needs to show us a copy of their report card so we know everybody is doing well in school. If anybody is struggling with any part of their curriculum, we encourage them to get some extra help immediately - don't wait until the end of a marking period - so a small issue doesn't snowball into a major one.


That's all for this week; don't forget to come by on Sunday between 3 & 4:30 to get all your swim equipment from SwimPro. We're looking forward to seeing everybody on Sunday!
