Team,
Congratulations on yet another win! This week we will focus on preparation for our final meets as we near the end of our dual meet season. Here are some things to keep in mind and be aware of!
Monday, July 14 - All Day - Eat a PJ Whelihans (Wash. Twp.) at any time and 15% of your bill be donated back to the Team!
Tuesday, July 15th at 6:30 (COACHES EVENT) at Nifty Fifties. Mini Golf and Milkshake for $7. This event is geared for the 8 unders, but open to all! See you there!
Wednesday, July 16th at 4:45 (B MEET vs BROOKSIDE) we will host our final B meet of the season. With this being said, Tadpoles and B meet swimmers (who do not swim in A meets) last day of practice is on Tuesday. Just as last week, I will be asking swimmers Monday/Tuesday what they would like to swim in the B Meet. If your child will not be at practice either day but still plans to swim Wednesday night, please email me the events they'd care to swim by Tuesday at 10pm. Also, just as last week - non B meet swimmers will have the following practice times:
13-14 15-18 at 7:15am to 8:45am
8 unders 9-10 and 11-12 at 8:45-10:00am
Saturday, July 19th (A MEET vs WESTWOOD) marks our final dual meet of the season. Many of you will complete your season, some will continue to swim through Tuesday, July 22nd at Peachbowl, and others will continue through to Tri County Championships. Saturday is the last opportunity to qualify for Tri County so let's get up and race! This weekend we are missing many swimmers, but that will not stop us from reaching for that 4-1 record. I will be completing the A meet lineup on Thursday. If you have yet to tell me that you will be absent from the meet I must know no later than Wednesday evening at 10pm.

* IMPORTANT CHAMPIONSHIP INFORMATION (Changed Practice Times):
Peachbowl (Gloucester County Championships) is a week from Tuesday (on July 22, 2014). Attached is the finalized Peachbowl Entries which have already been submitted.
Peachbowl swimmers - it is extremely important that Sunday through Tuesday you are resting, eating well and staying hydrated. I ask that you stay out of the sun, away from Greenwood Park and uninjured. Relaxing and staying in the air conditioning will be more than helpful when preparing for fast swimming.
Practice times are as follows:
Monday, July 21st
13-14 and 15-18 age groups 7:45-9:15am
8unders, 9-10s and 11-12s 9:15-10:30am
Tuesday, July 22nd - Day of Peachbowl
No practice in the morning, but we will have two warm up lanes at Greenwood Park that afternoon before heading to GCIT. I will give you more info later this week on times for Tuesday the 22nd.
Wednesday, July 23rd
NO PRACTICE
Thursday, July 24th - Practice for only Tri County Qualifiers begins
We will have practice on Thursday, July 24th through Friday, August 1st (everyday including Sunday) for Tri County swimmers. It will be extremely important for you to be at practice in order to benefit from the full taper.
Practice times will be decided and emailed out later this week as well.
