Hey @MUNathletics you should update your rosters on your website. The swim team roster is 2023-24 season.

Most coaches think our job is to write workouts and make kids fast. But if you want to build a program, we are in the customer service business. Take care of your people Communicate clearly Handle problems quickly Don’t make it complicated

I wonder if Aquam gets tired of continually having to provide quotes because they don’t put the prices on their website.

@mikeanzano 30-40 min per workout if I plan them one at a time the day of or night before. 20 min per if I do the whole week at once. Seasonal plan takes several hours too.

How much time a week do you spend planning your workouts?

Do the swim off again, not tie again.

In all my years of coaching, I’ve seen a lot of swim offs but I haven’t seen tie and then have two boys get back on the box immediately after, to do it again

Proud parents of Newfoundland and Labrador second Daniel Bruce Dennis Bruce tells me he couldn’t disagree more with Gushue suggesting exploring relegation at the Brier. It’s struck a nerve to be sure.

Meet Mobile is quite possibly the worst app to have ever existed.

@MaryElizabeth73 Hope the community, students and non-students, speak up to correct this error. I fully agree the facility is date and hard to maintain, but closure without a replacement plan? That’s going to have negative effects in the community.

@CoachMercerNL As a young child, I had swimming lessons at Acadia. Spent many a happy hour here swimming with friends. Very disappointed, indeed.

@Braden_Keith I’m assuming you’re rejecting these requests unless there are some extenuating circumstances.

@CoachMercerNL Yeah, you'd be surprised. It's not even particularly sensitive public information. It's not addresses, phone numbers, etc. (all of which are also public info). It's...swim times. In the past.

We've been getting a lot of "my life is in danger because a PDF of my swim meet results from three years ago is on your website" emails lately and I'm trying to figure out what has triggered all of it. Anybody else noticing this?

Hapgood needs to be removed from behind the bench for his remarks. Blaming a lack of security for his player attacking a fan and defending a violent sport thug!

Got a complaint from a D1 coach today upset because we weren't covering their dual meet quickly enough. Same D1 team couldn't figure out how to get a livestream going for their dual meet. Should I start sending complaint emails to every head coach who doesn't livestream their meet?

@kylesockwell @Braden_Keith My favorite is when coaches don’t use meet mobile because they don’t want people to know the times

@Braden_Keith No complaint will be entertained until a program has a quality live stream and consistent meet mobile publishing. Show me effort and you’ll get effort in return.

Great feature today by @Jeremy_Eaton on the new pitch and track for @2025canadagames. Hoping for some aquatics updates soon as we have a LOT of anxious swimmers/families wondering how it’s going.
