BISD 
Back
We are officially rocking and rolling with the swim and dive season - and as promised, here is the first official newsletter! Since this has a little more information than normal I wanted to send it out early. My apologies for the lengthy read!
All pool practices continue as normal this week. Strength and conditioning training begins Tuesday in the BI weight room. As a reminder the first session is 4-5pm and the second 5-6pm.
Monday (11/13) the spirit wear store closes. Make sure you place orders prior to 11:59pm!
Wednesday (11/15) there is a spirit dinner fundraising event at Haute Dog & Fries in Old Town. It is from 4-9pm and 20% of the proceeds go to the team.
This Friday, November 17 we are holding swim time trials at The St. James. Meet details are below.
- Where: The St. James (6805 Industrial Rd, Springfield, VA 22151)
- When: 11/17, 3:20pm bus departure, 4:15pm warm ups start, 4:45pm meet begins
- Entries: All swimmers should pick the 2 individual events they would like to swim through this google form or let Coach Gerke know at practice by Wednesday. Only athletes who sign up for entries will be entered into the meet! As this is a time trial and not a scored meet, there will be no relays.
- Volunteers: All families should have received an email from Mr. Joe Ferguson regarding meet volunteers and officials. In that email he included the sign up genius we will use this year for all meets. Since this meet is only for our team, we have a greater need than normal!
- Dive: Coach Katie will be out of town so we are not going to hold a dive portion on this date
Looking ahead, Tuesday, November 21 vs PVI.
- Where: The St James (6805 Industrial Rd, Springfield VA)
- When: 11/21, 4:20pms warmups, 5:15pm start, should be done around 7pm
- Transportation: Bus details TBD
- Entries: Swimmers must let Coach Gerke know if they have a valid met absence no later than Sunday, 11/18. I am expecting that some athletes will already be out of town for Thanksgiving! The meet entries will be sent out in next Sunday's email.
- Volunteers: Volunteer slots will be on the sign up genius.
- Dive: Coach Katie will be out of town so we are not going to hold a dive portion on this date. The first dive meet will be on November 28.
Lastly, thank you to Stefani Nick for putting together the sign up genius for events! if you are willing and able to help out with either hosting a team night, senior night or the end of the season banquet, please fill out this form.
Please reach out if you have any questions.
Go Cardinals!
