Hi Everyone!

Happy Sunday! I hope you all have had a great weekend. :-) Friday was a great meet! We had 2 birthdays, 3 "duck heat" wins, and several life time best swims! (Results are attached.) It was the first time we have hosted a full meet that large and it ran so smooth! A huge THANK YOU to the parents that donated food, showed up early to help set up, stayed late to clean, stayed for the whole meet to help, timed, stroke judged, ran, and all the things it takes to pull off a great swim meet! I know it is a lot for our team but we are the only school in LISD that can host meets and I love that we can provide that. We only have ONE more left to host in November. :-) 

For this week we only have a few things since it's a short week: 

• HERE is the schedule for this week and HERE is the schedule for next week through Thanksgiving. There are some small adjustments for next week (Oct. 17th) through November so please make sure you take a look!
• I mentioned the possibility of practice on Tuesday of this week, but we do not need it since we won't be missing while I travel for IB training at the end of this week. So enjoy the 2 days off and I will see everyone on Wednesday at the normal time. 
• STAY HEALTHY! Hopefully this longer "fall break" will clear out some of the school germs. The flu has been going around and it has taken some people out for several days to a full week. Emergen-C or any other high Vitamin C supplement is helpful during this time of year. I just add it to my water bottle that I take to school. :-) Don't forget the Ear Care too! Several swimmers use it right after they get out of the pool from practice so they don't get busy and forget. If your swimmer isn't doing that, please get a bottle and add it to their routine! 
• We are in the "fall wall" season and hitting our heavy training cycle/heavy meet cycle at the end of October. Routine and discipline (physically, academically, and emotionally) are important this month. Just stay the course and it will all work out! 

That's all for now!! Have a great week and as always, thank you for sharing your swimmers with me!! :-) Let me know if you need anything from me.
