the McDowell Women's
Swimming and Diving Team Every
year the number of students wishing to join the top women's swim team in
District Ten (and one of the top teams in Pennsylvania) exceeds the number we
can accommodate in our pool. We hate to make cuts but we limit our team to about
20 swimmers and 4 or five divers. Decisions on which swimmers to accept are
based on a desire to have the fastest four in each event (e.g. breaststroke,
butterfly, backstroke, sprint free, and distance free) with a greater emphasis
placed on the distance events.
Mandatory practices begin on Monday, November 12,
2007 and run Mondays through Fridays from 2:45 to 5:15 p.m.; and Saturdays from 7:00
to 10:00 a.m. Optional practices are held Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from
6:00 to 7:00 a.m. before school. We offer many pre-season and off-season
conditioning practices for those who want to get in shape early and stay in
shape in the spring.
To join, students should get the packet of forms from
the school office and turn these in at the high school the day of winter sports
physical. The cost for this physical is $8.00.
If you get a physical from your doctor, Remember to
have him or her sign the PIAA card and turn all your forms in to the coach the
first day of practice. No one can start practice without the completed
physical and the necessary forms.
