Hello and Happy Winter!

PRACTICE — Winter is under way! Normal practice times for the rest of the week. If you haven’t registered for Winter yet, please do so <>

MARCO — We have a new coach on deck for the Winter 2019 session! Please welcome Marco Farahmand to the staff. Marco has loads of coaching experience and is no stranger to the TPC (having helped coach Water Polo here before) and the swim scene in Marin (competing and coaching for the Marin Pirates, coaching at San Domenico, and coaching over at Scott Valley as well). If you see him on the deck, be sure to introduce yourself and say hello!

SWIM TEAM REGISTRATION
Online sign-ups are great!—please fill out completely (much of it will auto-fill if you registered last season). Please check the ’save credit card on file for future purchases ’ box if you plan on doing other team things (travel meets, PacSwim reg., etc.) which may entail me charging your card. Email me with any questions.

PACIFIC SWIM REGISTRATION
Pacific Swimming registration is required for ‘sanctioned’ meet competition, Group 3 participation, and any training at sites away from TPC.
If your current Pacific Swimming registration expires at the end of this calendar year, they want the teams to submit the re-registration in one big batch…so, if your name is at the bottom of this email, please email me if you would like me to re-register you for the 2019 year ($73 which I will invoice to your Active registration account or charge your TPC acct.). As always, email me with any questions.

2019
Note: these are the primary ‘sanctioned’ meets, there will be additional meets (time trials, Rafael Racquet Club meets, etc.)

1/19,20 Zone 3 Championships — sign up online ASAP if you qualify.

2/2 Marlins meet ‘unsanctioned’—but fun!

2/9,10 NAPA C/B/A+ (for those not going to AZ, or just looking for some more competition )SIGN UP online

2/15-18 ARIZONA (fun team travel meet! MEET SHEET on website calendar

3/9,10 NAPA C/B/A+ (for those not qualified for JO’s or swimming relay only)

3/15-17 JUNIOR OLYMPICS (really fast!)

Email me with any questions at mike@northbayaquatics.org . See you at the pool!
