2016 Eagle Swim Team
Welcome Back!
Are you ready for an awesome swim season? We are getting close to jumping in the pool! Despite losing some talented Seniors, our Mustangs should be even better this season - We have several key swimmers returning - plus quite a few freshmen joining us next month. Let's beat last years group of 16 swimmers who made it to State!
A lot of you are wondering when the season starts and what the scoop is - so let me try and hit some bullet points
A lot of you are wondering when the season starts and what the scoop is - so let me try and hit some bullet points
- The YMCA Pool is closed for repairs from July 25-August 22nd
- Practice | Tryouts are tentatively scheduled Monday, August 15th from 8-9am at the Boise Racquet & Swim Club at 1116 N. Cole Rd., Boise, ID 83704. I know it's not the most convenient, but the Racquet Club has been very accommodating, they have starting blocks for tryouts, and the Y is covering our cost to practice there for just the one week. We will practice all week from 8-9am at the Racquet Club. The Boise Y pool reopens on 8-22 and we will begin practicing there on the 22nd.
- Head Coach Aaron and Coach John are leading the way! Coach Andrea wasn't able to return this season because she was promoted to a position at the downtown Y. A-Aron and John are pumped for a big year - and the huge amounts of FUN we are going to have
- Team Captains will be named......soon! We have a strong Senior class to choose from
- REGISTRATION: Please print and complete the Registration forms and bring to tryouts / first practice on 8-15-16. Please note, the Registration forms linked to this website are now updated!
- SCHEDULE: Click on "2016 Schedule" on the right hand column for practice and meets.
- TEAM PARTY: Tentatively scheduled for Friday night, August 19th at the Carter's house. Pool, Hot Tub, Zipline, Volleyball, Basketball, Trampoline, Music - Relaxing.... More details to come!! (Is the Egg toss making a comeback?)
TEAM SNAP! (* * * * Important * * * * )
No, I'm not referring to the team picture we are going to take in a few months. I'm talking about a new way the Eagle Swim Team is going to communicate this season. When a coach wants to message the team, send a photo, or get everyone to get together before a meet - we will simply use the TEAM SNAP application on your phones. It's really cool, simple to use, and you get an immediate alert to your phone. Other teams have used it and they LOVE it. They said they will never go back to email (We will still use email a little bit :)
Please follow these instructions - swimmers and parents send your individual info to me (John) at luv2cdo@yahoo.com
- First & Last name and email address
- Your phone number and phone carrier (i.e, AT&T, Verizon, etc). That's it!
I will add you to the Eagle High Swim Team in TEAM SNAP and you will get an invitation to join. Once you get the invitation - please click the link, join the Eagle Swim Team, and download the TEAM SNAP App (it's free). This way you will get all the ALERTS, Team Photos, etc. Don't be left out! You may start to drift into lala-land and wonder where the Swim Team is - we're over on TEAM SNAP getting the GOODS.
Looking forward to a great season. Hopefully you can all beat me at the 50 Free during tryouts :) It's not too high of a bar (high 27's, low 28's). Coach Aaron is a different story - only the few and the proud can stake that claim - Haha!
