Good Afternoon Mill Creek Swim and Dive Team!

We are SUPER pumped for day one of practice tomorrow; the journey starts here!  Since it's the first day, we have a few friendly reminders of some basic necessities every swimmer needs to bring:

• Water Bottle: (EVERY SWIMMER should have one)
• Goggles (and ideally backup goggles)
• 2-3 swim caps
• Swim suit
• TOWEL 
• Running/Dryland Shoes/exercise attire - we will have 30 minutes of dryland exercise prior to every swim practice, beginning at 3:30 PM at Bogan Park Aquatic Center
• Additional individual items – inhalers, snacks, etc.
• Clothes to wear after practice - there are locker rooms at the aquatic center swimmers can use to change into suits prior to swim practice, and change back into clothes after practice if you so choose.
• A positive attitude, a desire to swim fast, and promote team spirit!

Please arrive at Bogan Park Aquatic Center around 3:25 PM and be ready to begin dryland at 3:30 PM.  We will run dryland practice from 3:30 to about 3:55, allowing some time to change into suits prior to getting in the pool at 4:00 PM.  Swim practice runs from 4:00 to 5:00, so please make sure your ride is aware of practice end time and is prepared to pick you up beginning around 5:05 - 5:10 PM.

Rank One Reminder: in order to participate in practice tomorrow, your name needs to appear green on your Rank One account.  If your name appears red, you cannot participate until the issues or missing documents from your Rank One account have been resolved.  Once you've been approved as an eligible athlete (name highlighted green) in Rank One, you can join us in dryland and in the pool for swim practice.  If you have any questions about this, please email me at [email protected].  I am working closely with our athletic department to resolve these issues as quickly and efficiently as possible.  

We can’t wait to see you all tomorrow to start what I am sure will be a phenomenal swim season!
