Firewood

In case you missed this post from August:

Swim Parents,

If you have a fireplace at your house/apartment, please drive over to our Lake Ridge property and pick up some firewood!

Most of it:


  • is oak (with some hedge apple and ash as well)

  • came from smaller trees that needed to be thinned

  • was cut in May of 2010 (hot summers dried it out quite well)

  • has been cut short, so it'll also fit in a smaller fireplace/chiminea
Address is 2361 Royal Lytham Court, Grand Prairie.

All firewood is right in front, so feel free to just pull in and load up.

There are a few larger pieces of hedge apple that y'all are also welcome to load up and split. That will be the longest/hottest burning wood we've got.

Also, we rented a chipper/shredder last year to chew up all the brush. There are several piles all around the property. Feel free to shovel some into the back of your vehicle if you want it.

Finally, snakes are a possibility when picking through the wood pile. Keep an eye out so you don't get a surprise.

Thanks,

Button

Notes

This weekend we'll be hosting several college teams at the natatorium.

Friday (6:00 p.m.) and Saturday (noon) will be the Southwest Collegiate Plunge. Men's squads from Missouri, Southern Methodist, Texas, and Texas A&M will compete.

A dual meet between women from Missouri and Texas A&M will follow Saturday's men's meet (estimated start time is around 3:00 p.m.).

Admission is FREE! Fans can watch some of our nation's best collegiate male and female swimmers/divers in action.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our next meet will be at Highland Park HS on November 1. Let's continue to work harder...and smarter!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Results from last week's Highland Lakes Challenge are here.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Log books will be due after Friday morning practice. Several of you still owe yardage for missing last week's deadline. Take care of that tomorrow, please.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The more you discipline yourself, the
less you will be disciplined by others.

Time is free, but it's priceless.
You can't own it, but you can use it.
You can't keep it, but you can spend it.
Once you've lost it, you can never get it back.

GWG Clinic Follow-Up

Diane posted a few of the questions she got from parents during the September 24 clinic. Read them all here.

Finally, there were lots of questions about nutrition. Does it really make a difference? Yes.Yes.Yes!!! But you need to be consistent, and as parents, that starts at home. Eating well is a lifestyle, not a fad or something you expect your swimmer will do just before a meet, but everyday. You can always check back at past posts to find out about all types of nutrition questions. Lastly, get your swim team to only serve healthy snacks for its athletes, at swim meet snack bars. Our experience was, they sell pure junk. Pack your kids healthy snacks for practice and meets.

Laws of the Pack

This is a good time to go back and read your Laws of the Pack.

In particular, we've got to take care of business in the locker room:

Behave in the locker room (keep your locker locked, keep your hands to yourself, clean up after yourself, minimize time spent, etc.).

When lifeguards check the locker rooms in the evenings, they'll be gathering up loose items and placing them in Lost & Found. Please do not leave anything on top of the lockers, on the bench, or on the floor.
