First Day Fun!

Hi Team!

The 2016 season is underway!  Just look at that amazing group of athletes! I am beyond excited about this team--I know we are going to accomplish amazing things together this year! 

Today we spent a whole lot of time going over rules and expectations and learning names.  I'm pretty sure if you asked the girls, they would say the highlight of the day was getting their team parkas. Tomorrow we start training like champions!  We will be getting in the water right away to go through a flip turn clinic with Iowa State swimmer, Kenzie Goudreau.  You won't want to miss Kenzie's clinic!

The girls should be working on filling out their goal sheet and deciding which team clothing they want to purchase.  The only things you are required to purchase are the team suit ($56.50) and the team t-shirt($14.99).  If you want your name on the back of your team shirt, there is an additional $3.50 charge.  All order forms and money is due by this Friday, August 12th.  Everything can go on one check, made out to Appleton West Girls Swimming.  Goal sheets are also due on Friday, August 12th.

Don't forget about tomorrow (Wednesday) night's team party at my house!  Bring your fleece, a pair of sharp scissors, and something to share with the group (please see the list in the tie-blanket post below).  Don't forget a towel or blanket to sit on--we will be in the backyard all night.

Thanks for a great first day, ladies!  Our adventure has begun!

Stay humble, hustle hard!
