Allatoona High School Swim and Dive Team

PRACTICE TIME CHANGE! FEB 1st

2010-02-01T02:42:00.000-08:00

Swimmers,
There has been a change in the practice schedule for today Feb, 1st. Practice will be from 8:00pm to 9:00pm.

County Finals

2010-01-26T13:30:00.001-08:00

We would like to congratulate all of our swimmers and divers who have qualified for the County Championships. Good Luck!

Swimming
The pre-lims are Friday night at 6:00. Warm-ups are at 4:00. This means
the kids must make their way to Mountain View directly after school.
Mrs. Smith is making goody bags for all the kids with leftovers from
food table last weekend.
Finals are same times on Saturday. The relays go to finals no matter
what. I need all the swimmers to stay until the end of the meet on
Friday night in order to find out if they made it to the finals.
Allatoona is asked to provide 2 volunteers per half for both Friday and
Saturday. It would be smart to ask other swimmers on our team who aren't
competing in the meet to volunteer! A lot of them will probably want to
be there anyway!

Diving
Saturday morning, warm-ups at 7:00, meet starts at 9:00. It is 11 dives.
Grant and Josh are both competing.

Qualified Swimmers:

Lauren Comer: 200 IM, 500 Free (the 500 is only swam in Finals, no
prelims), 200 Free Relay.

Snack Table

2009-11-11T17:57:00.000-08:00

AHS Swim and Dive Families,

For each meet, families will be asked to bring a specific snack item. Please check your email for spreadsheet with food assignments. If you do not see your name on the snack list for the Cobb Relays this Saturday do not worry. You will be asked to provide at an upcoming meet. As the season starts off, we will need to provide all the snacks for swimmers. At subsequent meets, we will only ask for what is needed. When the meet is over, if there are any non-perishable items they will be stored and used for the next meet.

For those who will be bringing sub sandwiches, please bring either ham or turkey and cheese without any condiments. The subs will need to be cut into smaller sections, at Publix this is a tennis cut or 8 sections per 12inch sub. Sub sandwiches do not need to be purchased at Publix. Also, ask that ALL condiments (lettuce, tomato, mayo, mustard packets) be places on the side. The swimmers can arrange their sub snacks at the meet. For this weekend, subs need to arrive by noon.

We are asking for individually packaged snacks as much as possible to minimize the spread of germs. We can try at least!

If you are assigned snack duty and will not be at that meet, please let Denise WestSmith or Leslee Chafee know by Monday of each meet week.

Because we need a couple of wheeled coolers and a folding table for each meet, we are asking if anyone could lend / bring them to the meets during the season. Please contact Leslee Chafee via email at lhcinga@bellsouth.net or call our home 770-419-1291. Thanks for your help!
