Quick Look Ahead to December…

 

  1. Hope all had a great extended weekend. We had some great practices over the last few days, and already back at it with a full schedule ahead of us.
  2. Looking ahead, we have a Nitro at the Races meet coming up on Saturday, Dec 10th. This meet will be at our Bee Cave facility, and is specifically designed for our Intro to Nitro swimmers as well as our less meet experienced Bronze and Technique & Fitness (TF) swimmers. Meet entries are due by Wed night, Dec 7th, before 11:59PM CST. You enter online through our website. We suggest entering all 4 events, one of each stroke. If pretty new to the swim meet experience, OK to enter 25 yard events. If a little more meet experience under the belt, then OK to enter the 50 yard events.
  3. There is also a meet on Sunday, December 18th at Southwestern University in Georgetown. This is a great meet for our more experienced Bronze and TF swimmers, and our Silver swimmers. Meet entries are due online by this Thursday night, Dec 1st, 11:59PM CST.
  4. Our Advanced Silvers, Gold, HS, and Senior Group athletes who are not attending this weekend’s COR meet up in Dallas are certainly welcomed to enter the SASA meet in San Antonio weekend of Dec 16-18th. This will be a prelim/finals meet on the Sat and Sun sessions. Meet entries due online by 11:59PM CST this Thursday night, Dec 1st.
  5. Sneak Peek ahead to Christmas/New Year’s practices at Cedar Park: We’re planning on having all practices as usual EXCEPT Dec 24th, Christmas Eve. However, anyone who participates in a Saturday group at Cedar Park is welcomed to come on over to our Bee Cave location, where we will be conducting our Saturday AM practices over there on that day. Be sure to go online and see the practice times/groups as the Bee Cave times are a bit different than the Cedar Park Saturday schedule. We will have a Practice Challenge this year allowing the kiddos to qualify for a specially designed long sleeve t-shirt based on completion of the requirements set up by the coaches during the Dec 19th-31st time frame. The coaches will be communicating the requirements for each of the groups in the next week or so. Exciting times ahead, and each season a handful of athletes get shot out of the cannon as a result of how they approach their December practices. Who will it be this year?

Thanks for being a part of Nitro, and we’ll see you at the pool! Coach Mike
