Upcoming January Meets

Hi Team!

Get ready, things are going to start getting exciting again for AW-K Swimming & Diving!   After our long Christmas break and this week's bye, I'm extra-ready to watch the guys race again!

This weekend our divers will compete at Neenah High School, and the varsity swimmers will compete in Ashwaubenon.  The dive invite starts at 10 am and will feature some of the best divers from around Wisconsin.  I can't wait to see how our guys do!  The swim invite starts at 1:00 pm and takes place at the Ashwaubenon Community Center (936 Anderson Dr, Green Bay, WI 54304).   The guys want to stop and eat before they come home, so they will need to bring money to cover the cost of their meal.


Next Tuesday, January 10th, is our first home dual meet and also Parent's Night.  Each swimmer and their parents will be announced before the meet, and parents will walk with their swimmer or diver around the pool.  Please plan on being at the pool by 5:20 on Tuesday. We will start the Parent Night introductions at 5:25.  Parents will remain with their athletes on deck until after the Star Spangled Banner.  The Appleton North/East divers will be celebrating Parent Night that night, as well.  For that reason, the diving portion of the meet will take place after the 50 free instead of before the meet.

Next Friday night, January 13th, is the Appleton North Invite for the swimmers.  The meet begins at 5:30 pm.  All AW-K swimmers are invited to participate in this invite.  Any JV swimmer who wants to swim just needs to let me know, and I will get them into the lineup.  We do not get bus service to Appleton North, so each swimmer is responsible for getting to North by 4 pm.  We have tons of drivers on the team, so if your swimmer needs a ride, it shouldn't be a problem.  The divers will be at Neenah that night doing the diving portion of the Neenah Invite, which begins at 5:30. On Saturday, the swimmers will travel to Neenah for the Neenah Invite.  This is a varsity-only invite that begins at 9 am.  

On Tuesday, January 17th, the entire team will travel to Oshkosh West.  The meet starts at 5:30 pm. There will be an entry fee for this meet.

On Tuesday, January 24th, we will host Fond du Lac for our Senior Night.  We will introduce the seniors from each team during the break but will save our celebration until after the meet.  We'd love it if everyone could stick around after the meet to help us recognize our fantastic seniors.


Finally, on Saturday,  January 28th, the varsity will travel to the UW-Madison Natatorium to compete in the Madison West Invite.  The diving portion takes place in the morning at 9:15.  The swim meet starts at 3 pm.  

That takes us up to Championship Season!  I'll do a separate post about those meets in the next couple of weeks.  In the meantime, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

With AW-K Pride,

Coach Vicki
