o   Team Picture Day June 11 at 3:30pm

Picture day starts at 3:30pm this Friday (June 11) at American high school.  Individual picture will be the first session, and ALL SWIMMERS NEED TO BE AT THE POOL AT 4:30 PM for team picture.  WEAR YOUR TEAM SUIT.  If you haven't gotten yours yet, don't panic, just wear a plain black or dark color suit. If you don't have a dark color suit, a CDST T-shirt would work as a last resort. Remember to bring your checkbook and filled-out form. If you need another form there will be extra available at the pool. 

We will also have some team suits for sale at pool tomorrow if you are interested in buying one for your swimmer.

Gold and Silver groups will still have practice after picture event from 5:30pm -7:30pm on Friday at Kennedy High.

o   Welcome on board - Coach Robert Moreside

I would like to introduce coach Robert Moreside, who will join our coaching team starting this summer. 

Coach Rob has more than 30 years of coaching experience under his belt, and he is competent coaching at all levels.  In the past, he has coached Olympic Trial qualifiers at senior level, and had ranked #1 swimmer for 10 & under in USA swimming in age group level.  I believe he will be the one who can bring CDST to the next level in long term.  

He will be mainly coaching Elite and Platinum groups with coach Wang, and also may involve with Gold and Silver groups.  Don’t be hesitated to talk to him on deck this summer and get to know his philosophy and valuable tips in swimming. 

o   2010 Summer Practice Schedule

  Summer Practice Schedule: June 21 – Aug 15, 2010

• Friday from 7:30am-9:00am for Silver/Gold group swimmers is optional practice at American High.

Note:

1. We may need to make schedule changes if requested by school district.

2. We offer more training hours for Platinum, Gold and Silver groups in the summer which will benefit all parents and swimmers, but we may have to go back to original training schedule in fall and winter due to limitations.

o   Water Qualify Concern

Swimming pool (Kennedy & American) use chlorine to sanitize the pool waters, and the chlorine level is monitored 24x7 and automatically controlled by a computerized chemical controller. In addition, the pool is cleaned by school district once every week.  Both of our facility and the equipment should meet the governmental inspections and requirements.

Sometime you may see dirt, leafs or bugs at bottom of the pool, we will try to pick up any unwanted stuff, and have swimmers practice in other side the pool. Hope I address some of your concerns.
