We're very close to the start of season!

Here are a few important updates.

We will not have practice this Saturday, many coaches have conflicts and there seems to be a lot of HS graduations or graduation events going on.

For summer practices, the schedule will be:

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday - 7:45am-9am and 9am-945am

Fridays - everyone together 8-9:15am for Friday Funday

Next Thursday, after practice I'm hoping my speedo rep will be coming for anyone that would like to buy a suit or goggles.

If you know anyone that hasn't found a team please send them my information. I'm happy to talk to them about the Marlins.
We're very close to the start of season!

Importan Updates

Hope everyone is doing well! We're just under a month until the first meet of the season!

I have a few updates and reminders for everyone!

First, remember this Thursday we will have preseason practice 3-4:00pm, I will however not be there due to schedule conflict with my 2nd/3rd job I have.

In addition, this Saturday's practice will be cancelled due to graduation on campus creating a schedule conflict for all coaches.

I have attached a pdf of some important dates coming up. Any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

If you have not registered on the marlins website www.conversemarlins.com please do so. If you have registered but not paid, please mail or drop off payment at earliest convenience.

The parent meeting we had two weeks ago got great feed back with:

Meet morning will have fruit and bagels for swimmers

Friday Fundays will be freezypops

I do have one thing I would like some feed back on, to try and help families with morning practice schedule. If we started the older group 7:30/7:45am - 9:00am and second beginner group 9-9:45am. Again we're accommodating if your family needs to attend the first or second even if split in the advanced and beginner group.

Look for another email next week with some updates for preseason practice and sign up for the kickoff party!

I'm excited for the great year ahead!

Blessings,

Coach Corey White

The parent meeting tonight will not take the full hour and will be in the Piedmont Natural Gas Room in the Montgomery Student Center. I want to use this time to begin planning for season and answering any questions about the registration process, volunteering at meets, signing up for jobs and swimmers for meets.

Any questions, please email or contact Corey White by cell.

Many are completing the online registration and mailing or stopping by one of the onsite registration dates to pay.

If you have not done the online registration yet please take the time to do so, to help us better start looking at numbers for each practice group to help facilitate a better program.

For practices, especially in the younger groups, will be a more focused progression.

Example:

Swimmer - Tommy is able to swim laps but does not understand turns, starts, butterfly, or a breaststroke pull out.

The coaches will be given check lists of how to progress Tommy in the most efficient way. In order for Tommy to do turns he most have a proper and correct push off with streamline. Why? Without a good push off or streamline the turn will not help his time.

Simple progressions like this you will see this year.

With the Thursday preseason time I've heard some concern of being able to make that time coming from school. I'm open to switching the day and time and adding a few more May sessions.

Finally we have the first parent and swimmer meeting April 26th 6-7:00pm

Please any questions, concerns, feed back do not hesitate to reach out.

Blessings,

Coach Corey White

We will help setup your account for signing up for meets, jobs, take payments, and answer any questions about how this season's training will go with each group.

The progress of training, technique, difficulty will build throughout season, modeling the programs and training from USA Swimming and ASCA. Any questions about how practice will differ from previous seasons, don't hesitate to ask.

Hope everyone is ready for the season! Registration, dates, practice schedule, and letter/email on some changes to enhance the swimmers experience will be out shortly. All of this information will be on the new website we're lunching for Marlins by next Friday at latest. The website will allow swimmers and parents to sign up for meets, jobs at meets, see times from meets, etc. Will also have an app linked to it so you can track all this from your phone as well.
