Let's Get Started!

Hi all! We've finally got most of the details straight, I think... so here we go!

Practices.
We'll start practices June 8th at Randolph Park. This week (only) we'll practice 5:30 to 7pm. We'll practice M, Tu, and W. If there are enough folks interested (or if we can hold a training session - see below) we'll practice Th this week too.

Next week the pool goes to full summer hours and is open until 7pm, so we'll practice 6:30 to 8 on M, Tu, and W.

Meets.
The final meet schedule should be available next week (BCC and Hethwood are discussing a date-swap). We have confirmed that we'll host June 18th and July 16th at Randolph Park.

Info is still "Coming Soon" for the summer invitational; we do know it will be July 11th at War Memorial Pool at VT and will cost $15 per swimmer.

Inclement Weather.
We'll set up a phone tree to let folks know if practices or events are cancelled due to weather. For this week, feel free to call Randolph Park (674-1513) - they TRY to put closing info on the answering service. If the park closes early, we won't have practice. As always, feel free to call Janet or Hollie, or email to the team address (pulaskicountyaquaticsteam@gmail.com).

Thanks!

Welcome to the PCAT blog!

Welcome to the Pulaski County Aquatics Team (PCAT) blog!

We plan to use this space to keep current, prospective, and former swimmers and their families up-to-date on what's going on with the PoolCATs.

Our Short Course Season is coming to an end; last night we had our Last Chance Meet at the Salem YMCA, and next week a distinguished group of swimmers from our tiny club will be competing at the Upper Southeast Regionals in Cary, NC. Congratulations to the ENTIRE team for such a fantastic season.

This afternoon, 8March2009, we will celebrate our season (and the wonderfully nice weather)with a cookout at Randolph Park's Gazebo beginning at 2pm. All families are encouraged to attend and, unless specifically contacted, asked to bring a side dish or dessert and a 2L drink to share. We'll share a meal, fellowship, recognition, awards, and even a roast or two!

More information will be available SOON regarding the summer league. In the meantime, with questions or comments, please contact us at pulaskicountyaquaticsteam@gmail.com. Thanks!
