Calendar

HERE

This Week (8/30 to 9/2)

A few updates for this week:
  • Meet Tuesday  Our meet Tuesday is at Allegan.  We will be meeting in the parking lot next to the pool at 3:00 and departing at 3:15.  We are using parent transportation, and have enough parents signed up to accomodate the team.  If you plan on taking your swimmer on your own, please call or email me at some point today.  Allegan IS providing an after-meet meal!  Warm-ups begin at 4:00, with the meet starting at 5:00.
  • Wednesday Practice Change  We will be practicing on Wednesday from 8:00 to 10:00 am, as I have Open House at Baseline Wednesday afternoon.  Sorry for the short notice!  Hopefully, we can all be flexible with the change.
  • Thursday/Friday  We will be practicing from 8:00 to 11:00 as the calendar states. 
  • Suits  They came in today, so we'll have them for the meet tomorrow!
If you have any questions, feel free to email or call me!

Calendar, Clothes, and Contact Infomation

Calendar The calendar can be accessed HERE. As soon as the divers get their season practice figured out, I will add those times to the calendar as well.  

Clothes Each swimmer can get a team sweatshirt and team sweatpants.  Just the sweatshirt is $30.00.  If you want the sweatshirt/sweatpants combo, the cost is $49.  These prices include $4.00 for printing the last name on the back of the sweatshirt.  If you or your swimmer does not want her last name on the back, you can subtract $4.00 from each of the prices listed above.  Swimmers are to give their sizes to Dea, Alison, or Jocelyn by tomorrow.  They need the money by next Tuesday (8/30).  Checks payable to Tracy Hiatt.  

Contact Info Tomorrow, I will be passing out team contact information to each swimmer (I'd rather not post it here online where it's more public!).  Make sure it comes home!

That's all for now.  Thanks for checking the blog!

First Update - A LONG One!

Welcome to the new blog for South Haven Swimming & Diving!

Here are the updates for the week:

  • Diving Coach  Yes, we now have one!  I'd like to welcome Justin Hulsebos as the new South Haven Diving Coach.  Coach Hulsebos comes to us from Olivet College, where he was a two-time NCAA DIII national qualifier and graduated from in '09.  He went to high school in Wayland.  Currently, he is living in South Haven and working for All State Insurance.  We are excited to have him on board!
  • New Diver  Speaking of diving, we also have a new diver!  Kayleigh Townsend, a sophomore, will be joining us from Las Vegas.  She begins practice tomorrow.  Welcome, Kayleigh!
  • Practice Schedule  On Wednesday and Thursday, swimmers will be practicing from 8:00 to 11:00.  On Friday, we will be practicing from 1:00 to 3:30 because I have new-teacher orientation in the morning.  Divers will be practicing on Wednesday at 7:00, and will figure out a new practice schedule with Coach Hulsebos.
  • Suits  Our suit order should be in by this Friday.  The suits cost $55, checks payable to South Haven High School Athletics.  Girls must turn in their money in order to get their suit.  
  • Concessions  Those who signed up to work the booster concessions for the first football game this Friday (8/27) should be getting a reminder call from Mary McDaniel.  I know we did not fill the volunteer list for our other two games in October, so please contact her if you're able to work one or both of them.   
  • Team Wear  The captains are putting together an order for team sweatshirts and sweatpants.  As soon as I get more information, I will post it.
Make sure to add this blog to your bookmarks and/or sign-up to follow it.  I think it's the most efficient way for me to disseminate information.  Look for more to come!
