State Meet info, Practice updates

Hello Seals Families,

The state meet entries are finished and sent!  I will post the events (by athlete) on the website, so please check and print as needed.  We have a total of 23 swimmers and a total of 8 relays!!!  We are looking forward to an exciting meet in Mitchell.  When I receive updates about warm-ups, I will forward them to you and post them on the website.  Please make sure your athlete has a team cap for all events at State.  Contact Sharon Chontos for caps.

Please have your athletes read the latest _Splash_ magazine.  We will be talking about the articles at practice.  We read the nutrition article this morning.  Take the time to read it-it is great!   Please save all old Splash magazines, as I have a plan for them...

I will be attending the USA Swimming Senior and Junior National Championships in Irvine, CA after State.  My son, Paul, will be swimming for the University of Iowa at Srs, and my daugher, Haley, will be swimming in the Junior Nationals.  Seniors will be partially televised on NBC.  I will also send updates on the meet from Irvine.  I would like Seal swimmers to become aware of swimming at every level, so this is a great way to learn more about our sport.  Please encourage them to look at www.usaswimming.org for results and articles on these meets.  I will no doubt tell you all about them when I get back...

Please feed, water and rest your athletes this week so they can compete to the best of their abilities!  I can't wait for State!!!

See you at the pool,

Coach Paula
