Bend January Team Information

Good Evening Bend Swim Families!

We had an excellent week of practices last week throughout the entire team and that leads into another great week at the pool. We have about 60 swimmers traveling to Medford for the Rogue Winter Invite this coming weekend. We have sent out the meet information including the psych sheet and the initial timelines to the families that are attending.

Due to the meet we have an adjusted schedule at the end of the week. All practices are normal this week except:

Friday, January 30     
            Gold (swimmers not in the meet)       6:30-8:00 AM
            Silver, Bronze, Orange                       4:30-6:00 PM

Saturday, January 31
            Senior Elite                                         10:30-12:30 PM
All other groups not Saturday practice

Upcoming Meets: We are VERY excited to be able to offer some Team Intersquad Challenge Meet Sessions that will be sanctioned. Coach Meghan will offer a Team Zoom Thursday evening 6:00-6:30 PM to give more meet details and make sure all families understand the opportunities (announcement will be sent Tuesday with link). Coaches will also send some notes this week and an overview for these sessions will be on the event page.

All the meets below will be at Juniper. Warm-up will be 4:30-5:15 PM and the meet will be done by 6:30 PM. Events details are on the team web site and you can commit soon. *Please put the dates you would like to participate in the notes section*

Staying Healthy – we want to make sure everyone knows the team policy about attending practice when you are not feeling well. If you have a fever or you have flu like symptoms please stay home and rest!

A personal note from head coach Jim – I have seen some amazing advancement in skill development and training abilities throughout the program over the season. I am working on a parent discussion and education program and I hope to unfold this out over the next few weeks so that everyone can understand and appreciate the vision and process that is happening at our practice and training sessions.

You Can Get There From Here - Go Bend!
