HDV News - Jan. 6th
Good afternoon, HDV Swim families,
I hope you are all doing well during the current snowstorm. If we have inclement weather again during the rest of our season, when I hear from the district about the cancelation of practices or meets, I will share the information with you as soon as I receive it. When we have inclement weather and practice or school is not canceled, I will let you decide whether or not your athlete attends practice. All I ask is that you email or text me that your swimmer will not be at practice. This lets the coaches and I know that your child is safe and not possibly stranded on the road trying to get to practice. During inclement weather, your swimmer will not be penalized for missing practice.
Thank You
- Thank you to the Glover and Pelecky families for providing team breakfasts to our swimmers.
Congratulations
- Congratulations to our girls on their first-place finish and to our boys on their second-place finish at the Tree of Life Trojan Invitational. Everyone swam well and did an outstanding job showing teamwork and good sportsmanship to our hosts and opponents. I have attached three pictures from the meet.
Schedule Changes
- Our dual meet with Upper Arlington has been moved from Friday, January 10th to Saturday, January 18th.
Upcoming Meets
- Saturday, January 11th, Worthington Sprint Invitational. The bus will depart from the field house parking lot at 11:30 a.m. The competition will begin at 1:30 p.m. Food is not permitted on the deck, but swimmers may bring water bottles.
- Monday, January 13th, Bishop Watterson dual meet. We will use parent drivers. Please remember that your swimmer must turn in a completed HCSD Travel Form to me. I have received very few forms. This is the school district policy. Once I receive everyone's form, I can assign the athletes to a parent driver. We will meet in the HDV Commons at 3:00 pm and depart no later than 3:15 pm.
Senior Night Volunteers
- Senior Night for the three Hilliard High School teams is on Sunday, January 19th. The senior recognition will begin at 4:30 p.m., and warm-ups will begin immediately following the recognition. This is our year to serve as Senior Night hosts, which means we set up, tear down, and provide timers. Here is the Sign-up Genius so you can sign up for a volunteer slot. https://www.signupgenius.com/

Attendance
- Please remember if your swimmer misses practice, I must have an email from a parent letting me know their swimmer will miss practice and why. You may want your swimmer to be responsible for sending the coaches the email. However, previous experience has shown me that there are times a parent may believe their athlete is at practice when they are not. Thanks for your cooperation on this.
Stay safe and warm!
Coach Lynn
