November 26

Good Afternoon Ladue Swim Club Parents,

Swim club is off to a great start this season.  Your swimmers have been working hard in the pool and hopefully you are already seeing some improvement in their skill level.

I just wanted to touch base about the schedule.  We do have swim club this evening Tuesday, November 26th. 
We will not meet on Thursday (Happy Thanksgiving) or this coming Saturday, November 30th.  We'll resume practice next week on Tuesday, December 3rd.
We also will not have swim club next Saturday, December 7th.  There is an all-day high school swim meet here on the 7th and the pool is not available.

I just looked at the forecast and there is a possibility of severe weather in the area this evening.  The last forecast I saw predicted that it would begin between 8 and 9 PM this evening which would mean that swim club is finished or near finished for the evening.  If severe weather (including lighting) occurs during swim club we will clear the pool.  Swimmers would be directed to safe areas and it may be necessary to close down for the evening.  I will email you if we were to cancel and we would also post it on the swim club blog:  http://www.ladueschools.net/swimclub
The blog also has an updated calendar page with all swim club dates for the winter season posted as well.
Also remember that anytime the Ladue School District closes for inclement weather, Ladue Swim Club will be canceled as well. 
Hopefully, the weather holds off for us this evening!

A couple of other notes, please talk with your swimmers about not being in other parts of the building before, during, or after practice.  Swimmers should come to the pool only.  Also please have a conversation with your swimmers about appropriate locker room behavior and about changing quickly before swimming and following swimming.  Swimmers should not be hanging out in the locker rooms.  Coaches and lifeguards periodically walk through the locker rooms but can not be stationed in there full time and effectively coach/supervise the pool.  Please let myself or one of the coaches know if you or your swimmer has any concerns.

I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving. 

Thank you,
