Practice Tonight (Wednesday) & Tomorrow (Thursday)

Hello Everyone,

Well! Quite the weather we have been experiencing over the past few days. I hope all of you got your power back. Mike and I were lucky enough this time around not to lose power. I just want to let all of you know that there is practice today for the Tier IV & Regional Group from 4:00-5:30. Sarah will be there with practice to coach. Tomorrow (Thursday), there is NO practice in the morning. Practice tomorrow will be in the afternoon from 4:30 till 5:30. I will be there to coach the practice.

I know some of the swimmers are writing exams this week and now have to write on Friday. If you swimmer cannot write their exam early or can't get it bumped to Monday, can you let me know ASAP so I can scratch them from their events that they are swimming on Friday.

Please please try to get your swimmer to the pool today and tomorrow. The meet this weekend is a Championship meet and they have worked hard all year to get there.

See you all in Moncton!

Practice Time Change For Saturdays

Hi Everyone,

In order to ensure that we receive our complete practice time for Saturday practices, the practice time has been changed to 7:15am to 8:45am. This will allow the Wellness Centre to open and our swimmers to get changed without losing practice time.

Thank you
