Dave's notes 11-19 WAG MAX meet. First a little background: "WAG" stands for Winter Age Group (championships). It can get confusing sometimes like in December there is a WAG MAX meet and the WAG championship meet. The two meets are complimentary. This means the earlier December meet is for swimmers with times from no time......up to a maximum of .01 shy of the WAG championship qualifying time. This represents 80+% of our swimmers. We would like to see as many of our swimmers entering the WAG max meet as possible....

The meet this weekend is for 13&O's who entered. It is split into 2 sessions each day BB max (anywhere from no time up to the BB standard in the mornings, and BB min (at least a BB std) in the afternoons. warmups:Please arrive an report to your coach by this time Sat AM:(session 1): on deck at 7:45 am estimated end of session 11:40 Sat pm (session 2): on deck at 12:00 estimated end of session 3:00 Sun AM (session 3): on deck at 7:00 estimated end of session...

Team Banquet 10-27: Originally I had posted that the banquet later this month would be a pot-luck. Then DawnElla reminded me that lots of different people cooking and lots of different people handling all of the food and serving utensils etc. was less than ideal with Covid still around. So with pot-luck out, I am looking to other ideas. We want to recognize swimmers and their achievements, and that is our priority. Having food is secondary. Whether it's individually boxed dinners, individual pizzas, individually packaged desserts or bring your own...
