Thursday, January 30th

Good Evening All,

Tomorrow afternoon is the last Ladue High School Girls Swimming and Diving home meet for the year.  It should be a competitive meet starting at 4:15 PM if you would like to watch. They also plan to have a senior celebration at the end of their meet.  In anticipation that their event will run a little long, we are going to move all of the swim groups back by a 1/2 hour.

On Thursday:

Group 1 (Ages 5 to 7) will practice from 6:00 to 6:45 PM

Group 2 (Ages 8 to 10) will practice from 6:45 PM to 7:30 PM

Group 3 (Ages 11& up) will practice from 7:30 PM to 8:20 PM

We will have normal practice times this Saturday starting at 10 AM.

One other thing I would like to let you know about:

This weekend, Missouri Water Polo is sponsoring USA Water Polo Growth Specialist and 2004 Olympian Genai Kerr's return to St. Louis to lead the Missouri Water Polo Players Clinic February 1st & 2nd at MICDS (just up the road from Ladue High on N. Warson).  Additionally, there is a free Splashball Clinic for players 6-10 years old from 4-5 pm at MICDS on Saturday, February 1st.  Here is some info on the clinic:  https://5meter.com/collections/splashball/products/saint-louis-missouri-splashball-camp

In addition to Olympian Genai Kerr, there will be several college coaches and athletes and Olympic Development water polo coaches in attendance.

If any of your swimmers ages 6 to 10 are interested in trying water polo for an hour on Saturday, the splash ball is a free event but you have to register in advance. Most of our current swim coaches are or have been water polo players in addition to swimmers. 

Thank you and see you at the pool soon!

Swim Club Cancelled January 23

Good Afternoon All,

Due to the current weather conditions and potentially dangerous road conditions we are going to cancel Ladue Swim Club this evening. (January 23)

We have practice this Saturday at normal times.

Please stay safe and warm.

No Swim Club on January 18th

Good Evening Swim Club Members,

This is just a reminder that Ladue Swim Club is not scheduled to meet on Saturday, January 18th, 2020.  Our next practice will be on Tuesday, January 21st.

Thank you and have a great weekend.

Water Temperature

Dear Swim Club Members,

I hope your new year is off to a great start.  Last week, we had a mechanical failure at the pool that caused our water temperature to cool off.  The part was repaired by Monday, but as some of your swimmers may have noticed, the water temperature on Tuesday was cooler than it normally is.  With the volume of water that we have at the pool, it takes some time to return the temperature to normal.  While the younger swimmers found the water to be to cool, our high school swimmers really enjoyed the cooler temperatures.   The water temperature has returned to normal and will be much more comfortable for the younger swimmers this evening.

Thank you,

Corey  Miller

Swim Club Canceled Tuesday

Good Morning All,

Ladue Swim Club will not meet this evening because the district is closed do to inclement weather.

Our last practice before winter break is Thursday at normal times.

 

No Swim Club Today

Good Morning All,

Just a reminder that Ladue Swim Club will not meet this morning December 7th, 2019.

There is an all-day high school swim meet at the pool today hosted by our high school swim team and the pool is not available.

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,

Corey  Miller
