Hello Coaches,

We hope this holiday season has treated you all well and you have gotten some good training in over the break.  Our meet is fast approaching and we wanted to get some updates out to all of you.  Please read through everything and feel free to email me if you have any questions at all.

1.)  We have a change to the start times on Saturday and Sunday PM at both Marmion and Vaughan.  The changes are as follows:

• Warm-ups for Marmion for the PM session (11/12) has been pushed back 30 minutes to 12:30 PM with the session starting at 1:30 PM. 
  
  
• Warm-ups for the Vaughan PM Sessions (Open Girls and Boys) will now be 30 minutes earlier at 11:30 Am with the session beginning at 12:30 PM. 
  
  
• All other sessions, including the 1650 Free remain unchanged. I will send out reminders about this change during the week.

2.)  As of right now, we will be limiting the 500 Free events at both pools to the Top 11 heats (88 swimmers) after positive check-in. I will be posting a preliminary psych sheet for Friday PM on our web site on Monday evening.   

3.)  We currently have 12 heats of the 1650 Free on Saturday PM.  Per our meet information, we are currently planning on running 2 swimmers in a lane for this event.  Swimmers must provide their own counter and 1 timer for their lane.  We will start one heat, and stagger the 2nd heat approximately 125 yards after. Swimmers will swim on one side of the lane only.  Details on this will be discussed at the coaches meeting.

4.)  The Andy/Beanie swim caps should be arriving in the next 24 hours.  I will have them all for you at the pool on Friday.  We will be wearing them on Saturday. 


Finally, thanks for choosing to attend our meet.  We are excited about the new format this year and the high level of competition we will be having for all our athletes.  Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Todd Capen
