Schedule for June 22 - 28, 2014

According to Coach Kristi:

Fit camp is from 9-12 pm next week, we will practice from 11:30-12:30 on Monday and Tuesday. (This will give the kids either 30 minutes to play or rest before starting swimming). The "swim" portion of camp is from 11-12, which Terry told me will basically just be pool time for the kids. On Friday we will practice at 4:30 pm because there is no fit camp. Meet warmups will begin at 5:25 at Ridgeview pool on Wednesday. Please have your swimmer there by 5:10 so they are ready to get in the water at 5:25.

See you at the pool!

***UPDATE***

Don't forget, the Stroke Analysis Clinic will take place again at the Cam Henderson Center in Huntington, WV on Friday, June  27 from 4:30 PM until 6:00 PM.  The charge for the session will be $25.00, payable at the door.  Those who attended this past Friday's session enjoyed the clinic, learned a lot, and are looking forward to next Friday's clinic.

As such, Coach Kristi has adjusted the practice schedule to allow Stingrays members to attend the clinic in Huntington.  The third practice for the upcoming week will take place on Thursday directly following the Fit Kids Camp as outlined above.
