<DIV>All,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We appreciate all the effort that the parents, swimmers, and coaches put into the swim team to provide what is needed for the meets and practices. As we have seen this season, there have been a few changes that have happened and several modes of communication are being used:</DIV>
<UL>
<LI>One of the modes is directly with the swimmers. With the level and age of the swimmers, they need to be responsible for their training (and information) just like the coaches are responsible for providing the appropriate training and information. This includes letting parents know of any changes.</LI>
<LI>Most of the information is posted on the SJHS Swim Team Website, http://swimming.stonewallhs.groupfusion.net/modules/groups/integrated_home.phtml?gid=37228&sessionid=8bfdbef53f8c511622973794e5a60686. It provides email contacts for the coaches and the swim team board president (Darlene Thornburg) and does not require a login. </LI>
<LI>The <A href="mailto:SJHS-Swim@lists.macserve.net">SJHS-Swim@lists.macserve.net</A> email list was also setup to assist in communications. Anyone on the list can send an email to everyone on the team by sending an email with the address: <A href="mailto:SJHS-Swim@lists.macserve.net">SJHS-Swim@lists.macserve.net</A>. As a parent, you can use the email list to clarify any communication. If an email is unclear to you, chances are that it may also be unclear to others.</LI></UL>
<DIV>Before the winter break, the coaches informed the swimmers at practices about the schedule for the winter break. It is also posted on the website. That said, perhaps a reminder email should have been sent. We will work on it for next year. The feedback on keeping the practices at the same time during the winter break will need to be considered for next season.</DIV>
