*The Mason invitational is a very long meet, make sure your swimmer is prepared.
Things to take would be homework (yea right!), cards, lots of low fat snacks (ie,
fruit and bagels) and water or gatorade. Also, pack a sandwich or bring money to buy
something more substantial.*The first pasta dinner will be next Friday, December 14th
at theVonHertsenbergs. Terri has no helpers signed up yet so if you're interested,

Dear AHS Parents –
 
[Week of November 26th]
 
Pool Water/   The filter room pump shut off this past Sunday because of an
electrical spike.
When maintenance restarted it Monday morning it spit out sediment which made the
water very cloudy.
Monday afternoon for swim practice the chemical balance was back to normal but I
chose to not get in the water.
I wanted to give the pool another 24 hours to filter.  The sediment is too small for
the filter so additional chemicals were added on Wednesday to assistant in
filtering.  This will take another day or two to actually make the pool clear in
appearance.  There is no danger in swimming in the pool nor is it a health hazard.
The kids were coughing both Tuesday and Wednesday as the chlorine was turned up to
be sure the water was not a health hazard.  Again there is no danger in moderately
high chlorine levels.
We also cut back on the time in the water. 
 
Football playoffs/     I am excited as anyone that Anderson’s football team is
having “the year of the decade”.   I drove to the Columbus game myself and it was
truly awesome.  I totally support the swimmers being a part of this and attending
these playoff games.  Does it create headaches in weekend practices and this week’s
meet…YES!   This happens so rarely that I will live and we still have the entire
season ahead of us so GO ANDERSON!
 
Mason Invite/   The bus leaves Saturday morning 6:30am sharp!  We will pull out at
6:32am regardless.  The lineup is posted on our web site (www.andersonswimming.org).
 I will of course be making changes as the lineup was due before students made
decisions to attend the game.  The prelims are projected to last until about
2-2:3pm.  Those who make the finals are responsible for their own ride back to
finals.
 
Thank you,
Coach Ed
