Yuma Heat’s

Stuff …

It has been suggested (strongly) that we drop practice on Wednesday. Okay, I get it … No practice on Halloween, Wednesday, October 31 ! Have fun, be safe, and bring your coach some treats on Thursday !

We will return to Marcus Pool on Thursday, November 1. The high school kids will be off to Tempe for the State Championships so the pool is ours. The practice schedule will remain as it has been through this week. The Winter Schedule is listed below.

With the new practice schedule will come some new practice group assignments ! Changes are as follows …

Red 2: Christian Bretschneider, Nicky Files, Gwen Flori, Miranda Flori, Abigayle Gill, and LuLu Wiley

Red 3: Nate Burden, Vanessa Fair, Veronica Fair, and Sarah Gill

Orange 2: Jay Flori, Desiree Howell, Morgan Howell, Keziah Pauly

Congratulations !

Scottsdale Turkey Invite Meet Sign-up Forms are due Tuesday, October 30 !!!!

High School swimming is about done. Our Heat swimmers have been awesome ! At last week’s Regional Championships Heat swimmers won six of eight girl’s events and four of eight boy’s events. Tyler Bhirdo and Myriah Frabasilio were names Regional Swimmers’ of the Year. There will be a large contingent headed off to the State Championships this week (Friday & Saturday @ ASU) … Katelyn Weddle is the top seed in the 100 Breaststroke ! GOOD LUCK TO ONE AND ALL !

Meet Info

We have made a change !!! Instead of the Palomar “AB” in San Marcos, CA, our November meet will be a NTS at Scottsdale November 16-18. Between the fires in San Marcos (though they may not be a problem by the meet date) and the restrictive meet qualifying standard; the Scottsdale meet started looking like a better fit. The Scottsdale meet will be a NTS (No Time Standard) meet … meaning everyone is eligible and it is still three week prior to our December meets. Because of this change, there will be NO MINI MEET in November.
