I will continue to post news on the team news tab and send e-mails home as things evolve this week.. Kroc - no update at this time - still assuming no water time available this week Alternate practice schedule for the Week: Tuesday PM all groups at El Capitan HS - Lakeside SD and SR 6:15 - 8pm AG 630-8pm N 630 - 730pm Wednesday AM SD and SR 6-730 am at Helix Charter HS (no practices for novice or AG) Thursday PM So this was a change from the...

Okay First thing - Kroc does not know when they will get the pool pump up and running. The longer it is down the longer it will take to heat up and balance chemicals. They said it may not be usable this week. So that's what we'll plan for and hope they get it fixed sooner. Unfortunately these plans are tough on everyone. But it was the best I could come up with on short notice. My most recent text came in at 11:10pm letting me know that Monte Vista...

Practices I am assuming most of you got the news from yesterday that the Kroc center pool was down. Kroc has no update for me yet. So I am exploring options. 1) All practices for tonight are cancelled. 2) The Grossmont district options are pretty thin - we can have El Capitan HS tomorrow night from 6:30pm on. The district is checking for morning options, and MRA can share some pool space with us tomorrow, but not the whole team. I am looking into other options outside of the Grossmont...

Dave's notes 10-22-23 Kroc pump is broken. The pool is currently shut down. They will be working on it on Monday, and will let me know the prognosis once they figure it out. Please check your e-mail tomorrow. The Kroc pool will not be open for practice tomorrow. I am looking for alternatives, and will post and send out news by 2 pm on Monday. I don't know if I'll be able to find alternate practice time for Monday night. The high school pools have water polo going on right...

Team outfitting Just a reminder that you can get all sorts of team apparel and equipment...

Practice this Saturday morning for AG SD and SR is at West Hills High School in Santee. I know this is a bit of a trek, but all of the nearby pools were gobbled up by a multi site waterpolo tournament. Luckily on a Saturday morning the commute is very quick with the high school only 2 blocks off the 52 freeway. The pool is straight back from the main student lot and at the East end of the football field. Time: SD and SR 7:45 - 9:30; AG 8:15...

MRA swim meet info. The meet is at Granite Hills HS. The meet this weekend is a pretty big meet 430 swimers on Saturday and 540 swimmers on Sunday. The timelines are pretty good for this number of swimmers: about 1:00 on Saturday and 1:30 on Sunday. Due to the large number of swimmers, there are 3 x 30 minute warmup sessions for the teams to get the kids warmed up. We have been assigned the early warmup both days. So swimmers need to be in the team area at...

AG practice will be moved this week from Wednesday to Friday. 3 of the 4 coaches are unavailable on Wednesday, and running AG and Novice together is not a great option for one coach to be able to give proper attention to everyone. So: No AG on Wednesday, and there will be an AG practice this Friday from 6:00 - 7:00 PM No other groups are affected. MRA meet: I do not have the meet details yet for the MRA meet this weekend, as soon as I do I will...
