Weekly Check in November 6th
Hello Team,
Our meet against Nashua went well although we do not have the official results. Nashua just reentered our league and this was the first meet they have hosted. The computer failed for a bit and they need to type in all of the results that we taken by hand. When I get the data file I will be able to generate personal best ribbons. Nashua will also mail us place ribbons when they sort things out, so they may be delayed a bit. I will email the team when both personal best and place ribbons have gone into the family folders, which are stored in the file cabinet on the pool deck. After home meets ribbons are usually in the folders by the end of the meet and away meets by the middle of the week.
As a note most parents/swimmers keep a personal best log that they update every time they get a personal best ribbon as it is an update of their top times. We do not post the result times to everyone on the team as not everyone likes their times read by everyone else and we do not have a system to email out individual results automatically.
Swimmers 13 and up only: Have a friend who thinks they might like the team, but not sure? Thursday, November 9th is bring a friend night. If you bring someone who joins the team you win a prize!
You be the Coach!: At the Worcester & Charlestown Tri-Meet on November 18th our swimmers will be allowed to select one solo event that they would like to compete in. Selections must be made by Tuesday, November 14th at 9 pm.
The event must be in their age group (sorry 15-18s: no 25 free for you!) and we will not offer the 500 as an option as this is an away meet and we are not sure if the other team will offer it.
