Update 6 July 2010
Practice Schedules:
Wednesday: normal schedule (I talked to some of those shaving for sectionals/AG State about what practice to attend on Wednesday).
Thursday: normal schedule
Due to Senior Circuit meet have to change a few practice times:
Friday: AM Group (Lane/Stewart/Schick/Durmer/Stafford(?)) 6:30-8:30 AM
PM Group: Everyone 3:00-5:00 PM (would like for our group to time finals for the Senior Circuit Meet. Meet starts at 6:00 PM, done shortly after 7:00 PM. A good way for us to support our Teammates that are attempting to qualify for Senior State etc. Need at least 9 of you to stay!
Saturday: 10:00AM-12:00PM (Fast)
Sunday: Swim on your own 2,500 on the house/aerobic and technically great
Monday: 6:45-9:00 swim/9:00-10:00 dryland
3:30-5:30 for those not shaving for sectionals.
Tuesday: 7:30-9:00 Swim (Aerobic recovery for all)
Wednesday: 6:45-9:00 AM for all
Thursday: meets starts in Athens/Dynamo!
About the Senior Circuit: This is a small but important meet. Several years ago, the Senior State time standards became faster to manage the size of the Senior State meet. These faster time standards "cut out" some senior swimmers who historically had participated in this meet. Dynamo stepped in to host a Senior Circuit meet with a prelims/finals format for this specific group of swimmers.
Suits: Those shaving for Sectionals can go through Kastaway and get a Team discount, but history has shown that better deals are out there on the Internet. You want the LZR Elite, and remember we are a Speedo Team and compete only is Speedo suits.

Team,
Below is the flight information we are using for Seniors and Juniors Travel. Some notes:
o The request/expectation is that athletes will stay together at the Team Hotel as of the 7th (Irvine Marriott) for the Juniors Meet. Our goal at Seniors is to get some second swims at a selection meet (it will be fast! and so will we). Juniors is a Team effort to win events, and win the meet. We request the athletes stay as a Team as we get many more hours of coaching away from the pool, and the athletes get behind the Team effort. We will swim better in a Team environment, without doubt. We are going to put multiple people on USA Swimming Teams at the meet(s). I think we have spoken to all the Senior National swimmers about their trip and arrangements.
o All athletes make their own travel reservations, preferably on Team flights if not traveling with your family.
o GA Swimming reimbursement is $600 for the Seniors or Juniors. If swimming both, and you did not receive a reimbursement for the December SC Juniors in Columbus, you will receive $1,200 from the LSC. Those with World Ranking will also receive ‘shares’ and fill out that paperwork at the meet.
o Those swimming at Seniors will travel on their own schedule on the way out.
o I will arrive in Orange County on the 1st at 6PM.
o The Team outbound flight for the Junior meet is Delta Flight 1167 on Saturday August 7th departing at 4:19 PM (ATL to SNA (John Wayne Santa Ana)).
o The Team return flight for the meet is Delta 1042/departs on Saturday the 14th at 8:45 AM (Sadly, no mad dash for the airport at the end of this meet Friday night). Last event of the meet is the Medley Relay, one of our better events.
o Please forward your flights to Jason as soon as confirmed to keep track of everyone.
o We will send out another itinerary for the trips as we get closer. This year will be similar to other travel trips, where families will need to submit a check with payment for the hotel portion of the meet ahead of time. The total of our reimbursement will then be forwarded to you after the meet.
Also,
o Friday morning the 2nd of July I will run a 6AM- 8AM practice for those in the Dekalb Swim League.
o There is a Friday afternoon practice on the 2nd 3:30-5:30 PM, and continued normal schedule through Wednesday of next week.
o I have attached the entries for Sectionals. Please review and make any suggestions you may have to your event list by Monday, when it will be sent it.
o Plan is for those who have a full event list at Juniors to skip Senior State. Those still looking for cuts will be entered in Senior State, and we will manage the event list as we go.
Thanks for a good trip to Jacksonville, and particularly the Haas family for allowing us at the Ponte Vidra club, and the Schick’s and Mrs. Christy for their help chaperoning the meet.
Please make sure you register by the 20th of this month for 2010-11. As of the 21st we are going to suspend everyone, and then activate those who have registered in an effort to manage the roster better.
Thanks,
JT
