Success over the weekend in Ojai and Simi Valley.
It was a very successful weekend for SBAC. For the first time ever SBAC was represented at 2 separate competitions on the same day. 10 of our athletes from the novice/age group programs competed in a junior competion in Ojai while 3 of our Senior level swimmers traveled to Simi Valley for a upper level competition. With best times achieved from both locations it was a great weekend for every swimmer and our entire program. If anyone has a picture that they'd like to have posted on the website please forward to me.

"It was the first mistake I've ever made."
Considering the SBAC T-Shirt logo is "Rocket Scientist" it was a rather humbling and ironic turn of events to realize (after it was too late) that T-Shirts come in Adult and Youth sizes. What type of intellectual genius could have known? Anyway, I hope that our smaller athletes will forgive me as I will be placing an order this week for T-Shirts that will fit.
I think that many of our athletes (ages 10 to 14) will be able to fit in the current SMALL or MEDIUM sizes and some of older kids can wear a LARGE without any trouble. I'll be selling the current set of T-Shirts on Monday and Thursday. E-mail me if you are coming on Tuesday or Wednesday and would like to purchase a particular size. Cost is $15.

In a related matter, SBAC is now selling apparell to parents and supporters of the adult variety. Authentic SBAC team gear is just $15! E-mail me with requests!

This Saturday SBAC will have athletes from all three groups (novice, age group and Senior) represented at a swim meet in Camarillo. I will be there for the meet to support all athletes. This is going to be a very fun meet for all attending.

MAJOR SWIM MEET NEWS.

On Nov 7-8th SBAC will participate in a swim meet in Ventura. This swim meet is encouraged for EVERY age and EVERY level of our program, including our most youthful and inexperienced athletes. There are no minimum times (you can enter the meet No Time). This is our last swim meet prior to Thanksgiving and I hope that we can send a large team to the competition. (It's really fun when the whole team is there!) Attached is all of the swim meet info for the Ventura Swim meet. Entries are due in the mail on Monday. (Postmarked any time on Monday). If you need help filling out a swim meet entry card I will be available after swim practice on Monday or you can ask around the pool deck on Monday during practice and see if anyone can help you.

Relays are the most fun part of swimming and at the swim meet in Ventura SBAC will attempt to participate in all of the relays. Every SBAC relay at the swim meet has a very, very, very strong chance of establishing a team record. Some of our age groups at SBAC may have only 4 swimmers total - the minimum required to field a relay - so your participation in the swim meet might be the difference between SBAC having a relay!
