Williams Meet

Written by Lynn Oneil Posted at 10:12 pm
 

Hi all,

 
I will be entering the Williams meet in a couple days.  Remember, it is a 12 and under only meet for us.  It is a Sunday morning session.  And the meet is 3 hours away.  Just wanted to get an idea of how many people want their LCM meets bad enough to make that trip.
 
Thanks.  Please let me know by Tuesday at 7pm.

Practices for long course season start back up this coming  Monday, April 11 in  Kingston.

I have alot of swimmers not registered and you must be registered in the system prior to coming to practice on Monday. 

If anyone has any questions regarding moveups, or what group you should be registering for you can either ask your current coach or you can email or call me at 774-766-9063.

I will also be posting a “tentative” long course meet schedule on our site in a bit so you can check that out as well.   Please remember, all competitive swimmers will be entered into meets automatically unless Coach Craft hears otherwise.  Any rec swimmers that wish to do a meet MUST let Coach Craft know that they want to participate as rec is NOT automatically entered.

Kingfish and Medfield

Written by Lynn Oneil Posted at 10:27 pm
This email applies to all levels and both locations, Kingston and Medfield.
Short course practices (for both locations) will be finishing up this Thursday March 31st. 

Long course for Medfield Age Groupers and Developmental will be starting up on April 4th going by the practice schedule that was sent out yesterday.  Medfield juniors and seniors started their long course practice season today and all groups will run through August.

Kingston long course will be starting up on Monday April 11th for all groups and again, will run through August.

Please make sure your swimmer is actually registered for long course prior to dropping them off for practice.   If they show up and are not registered they will not be permitted to swim.

Our team store through Rockland Athletics is currently open and taking orders for anyone that wants to grab apparel prior to heading into the new season.

Lastly, a reminder that I WILL be in Medfield tomorrow nite, March 29th from 6-8 doing fittings for suits, warmups and parkas for all new AAC swimmers.  We will be setup in the hallway heading towards the pool so that we can use locker rooms for trying on.

Lots of Info

Written by Lynn Oneil Posted March 28, 2016 at 10:43 pm

Hello Kingfish Medfield,

Thank you to everyone that came to our parents meeting last nite!  I know it was chaotic and difficult to hear but we were working with what we had and hopefully, questions were answered and concerns were addressed for all.

There were several things that needed to be addressed which unfortunately weren’t so I will include them here.

1.    NE Swim reg fees were charged to all “new” Kingfish swimmers.  I broached this quickly last nite but my plan is to refund each swimmer that was already a US registered swimmer $72 into their escrow account which will cover some meet fees.  There is a $5 transfer fee for NE Swim so if this is acceptable no need to be in touch.  The only people I will need to hear from is any family that actually wants a check back in hand for $72.

2.    If you are a NEW swimmer, (not currently registered with NE Swim or haven’t been for awhile)  I NEED a copy of your swimmers birth cert or passport scanned and emailed to me as soon as possible.  This requirement applies to ALL competitive and rec swimmers, no exceptions.

3.    Practice schedules are being worked on diligently by Coach Kyle, Brad and Coach Butler.  Final revised schedules will be out and available by Friday and I will forward to everyone.  Medfield will (as promised) have their own page on our current website very soon and again, I will alert everyone when that happens.

4.    There were quite a few concerns raised last nite in regards to the fit of our Speedo suits therefore, I will be doing a Fit Clinic one evening next week at the Kingsbury Club.  I have not received the day nor the time from Coach Butler yet but as soon as I have it I will alert you all.  Please note, I will not place this suit order until I have done the clinic and have everyones sizes.  I would appreciate some help on that evening from about 4 or 5 parents.  I just need you all to man a table with a pen and my order form and once the swimmer decides on size of suit, warmup, parka (depending on what they are ordering) you would write down their info/sizing/etc.  Pretty easy, doesn’t require a ton of time but when I do this it goes by alot quicker if I have parents helping me out.  Once I give everyone the date if you are interested you can let me know.

5.    We have two team stores available for apparel/equipment ordering.  Our Kingfish apparel/equip store on our site that you can access if you have registered offers backpacks, mesh bags, car decals, kickboards, and things of this nature.  You can access the store from our homepage from the TOP where it says “for parents” it will drop down and the very bottom link says Kingfish Apparel/Equipment store.  You can also access from your team account.  We also have a team store through RocklandAthletics.com where all of our other apparel is ordered and sold.  If you go to the site, on the left hand side is personalized web stores.   Click that, go to sports and recreation, swimming and then us.    Please note these items are ordered from them and shipped from them however, I am up there several times a week and would be happy to pick up items for any of you when they are ready and get them out to you so you won’t have to pay the shipping fee.  If you order and you want this just put write in the notes section of your order “Lynn will pick up”.

6.  We also have a link on the bottom of our homepage (scrolling banner) to swimoutlet.com.  We are an affiliate of swim outlet and if you are going to purchase anything from them we ask that you click the link on our page as the team receives a percentage back on all orders placed.  These funds are put right back into the team to purchase training equipment, etc so every little bit helps!

7.  At this time Coach Kyles senior group for long course will be starting practice next Monday, March 28th.  As soon as we have a concrete time it will be sent out.  All other competitive long course  Medfield groups will be starting up on 4/4.  Again, times will be sent prior to.  Short course swimmers finish up on the 31st.  Please make sure if you are currently swimming short course and want to swim long course that your swimmer is registered prior to attending practice on April 4th.

I know this is a ton of info and lots of standbys and coming soons so I appreciate everyones patience as we work through this together!  Please call, text, email, send me smoke signals with any and all questions you might have!    My cell is 774-766-9063.
