Kast-A-Way is clearing their Fastskin racing suit inventory for the 2006 models and has slashed the price of all Fastskin I suits. You only wear one of these suits at meets you're trying to achieve a breakthrough performance, like UGA, County or Metro. This is a great deal for anyone who's wanted a really fast suit, but was scared by the price.
There are only two models that are being discounted...
For women, it's the Recordbreaker Kneeskin.
This is the suit that Cherokee's A relay team wore at County. It
normally sells at $174, but has been discounted to $87.50. Kastaway does not recommend this model for breaststroke races, as the material buoys the thighs to the surface. Its a great suit, though, for butterfly and freestyle.
For men, it's the FS I Legs.
It normally sells at $135, but has been discounted to $67.50. This was the most popular suit at States.
The FSI model comes in Woodstock's colors - blue with red borders. But I wouldn't sweat it, if they don't have that color in stock. We won't see these again next year. It's a great suit and a great deal.
I suggest anyone who's interested, to go in for a fitting.
Kast-A-Way's main store is in Cobb County at 2550 Sandy Plains Road in Sprayberry Square, right across from Sprayberry High School. Their number is (770) 579-1908.

This year our awards banquet was catered by Bergamo Italian restuarant. Family style dinner was followed by the booster club awards. Principal Newhall awarded the 1st "Principals scholarship" award to Ryne M. Coach Quinn provided unique coaches awards to the swimmers, and the Team captains gave personal awards to various swimmers. Mrs. Ross prepared a great power point presentation which capped the evening.

VOTE FOR NEXT SEASON'S TEAM CAPTAINS!
Meet at 3:40PM Thursday, March 17th, in Room 102 - the kitchen area directly across from Coach Quinn's office - to decide on next season's student Captains. See Coach Quinn if you have any questions.
03/06/05
It is time to return your CLEAN parkas and jackets so
that we can store them until next season. For those
of you that received a parka and/or a jacket, please
return them to Coach Quinn before Friday, March 12th.
Please DO NOT dry clean. I don't know if the laundry
instructions are inside the parkas/jackets or not, so
I've included the instructions that the Booster Club
received when they were ordered:
Washing:
o All Garments should be washed on gentle cycle.
o Wash with cold water only. Hot or warm water can and
will cause bleeding of fabrics and inks.
o Use only mild soaps and detergents.
o Do not use any bleach or fabric softeners.
o Do not soak garments.
o Wash only like colored garments together.
o Remove Garments from washer promptly.
Drying:
To prevent fading or bleeding all garments should be
hung to Drip Dry.
If you must use a dryer, use "air only" setting.
Remove garment from dryer promptly.
THANKS!
03/03/05
Mark your calendars, we've come up with a new date for the Banquet.
The banquet will be held at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church - 1208 Rose Creek Drive on Thursday, March 10th from 7:00 - 9:00 PM.
Swimmers, parents and siblings are invited and there will be an awards presentation, following dinner.
There is no charge for swim team members, but for parents and guests, it will be $10.00 per person.
Our reservation must be confirmed no later than Monday, March 7th, so please RSVP to the Booster Club Woodstockswim@yahoo.com and let us know whether or not you will be able to attend.
Please send in your payment with your swimmer to give to Coach Quinn in room 101B or you can mail your checks payable to WHS Swim Team Booster Club - email for the address.
We will need your payment by Tuesday, March 8th.
THANKS!

Coach Quinn will hold a team meeting at the Cobb Aquatic Center, immediately after Friday's meet.
Track starts Monday and Coach Quinn wanted to remind the swim team that many of the swimmers still have Metro (1/29) and State (2/10)Championships. Coach Quinn will distribute the entries for the Metro and State meets.
Any swimmer on the Metro/State list is obligated to train with the Swim Team through the end of the season. Any swimmer who did not make Metros or States has fulfilled his/her obligation.
Coach Quinn will continue to take attendance for the Metro and State Team. The track coaches are aware of this and will honor our swimmers commitment through the end of the season. The Swim Team follows similar reciprocity with athletes committed to varsity teams in the early fall season.
Thanks!
Check out our swimmers Adrienne Amador, Katie Lamonica and Zach Hood mentioned in the Cherokee Sports section of today's(1/20) Atlanta Journal Constitution!
There is also an article on the upcoming County Championships with quotes from Coach Quinn...GO WOODSTOCK!
There will be no Friday morning practice (Jan 21st) - the evening meet will count as a practice.
We WILL have Saturday morning practice (Jan 22nd) from 11 AM to 12:30PM - if enough people show, we'll play water polo.
This Friday we will be swimming in the 2005 Cherokee County
Championship meet. Woodstock High School will be competing against Cherokee, Etowah and Sequoyah High Schools.
WHS and the Booster Club will provide food and drinks in the cafeteria after the final bell. Swimmers should plan to stay at school until the bus departs at 5:00 P.M.
The meet starts at 6:45 PM and the meet manager estimates that the meet will be over by 10:00 PM.
Directions to Cobb Aquatic Center
Take 75 South to Exit 263 - Southern Polytech. (Note: this will be the second exit onto Route 120).
Bear right onto South Marietta Highway.
Go through Cobb Highway (Route 41).
Go to next major highway - Fairground Street.

Hope to see you there!
Due to the School Holiday on Monday 1/17, practice that day is OPTIONAL per Coach.
Regular Practices starting today! M-Th 7:45 PM to 9:15 P.M.
On Tuesday, January 4th we have a meet in Dalton, Georgia!
Warm-ups begin at 5:00 p.m. and all swim team members need to meet in the rear entrance to the gymnasium immediately after school on Tuesday.
Make sure you bring everything you need with you to school.
Warm-ups start at 5PM and, unless Dalton extends it, it's very likely that we'll miss some or all of the warm-up time. So, it's really important that everyone be ready to go ASAP.
You might want to get a copy of the 12/24 issue to see the article about our Coach and Team! Here's the 12/24/04 article
Merry Christmas!

GO WOODSTOCK!
This week, (Dec.13-17), practice time has been shortened to 1 hour (7:45 PM to 8:45PM) and been made optional. Coach Quinn has also decided not to take attendance in lieu of Final Exams.
Study Hard!
Swim-A-Thon pledge collections are due Friday, December 10th. Please place your money in a SEALED envelope with your name on front and turn it into Colin Ford (Jason Ford's Dad) during team pictures.
Team Pics will be taken Friday, December 10th right after school. The bus will leave immediately afterwards (at 4:30pm) for the McEachern Invitational Meet.
Swimmers should meet in the rotunda after dismissal and bring the picture forms they received at practice. If you have a team t-shirt, wear it. Also, bring some sunglasses.
Swimmers should plan to stay after school. Friday morning practice will be cancelled and replaced with Saturday practice at the Eagle Watch Pool from 11:00 - 12:30 p.m.
The "McEachern Invitational" meet is at the Central Cobb Aquatic Center. Warm-ups begin at 6:00 pm and the meet begins at 7:00pm. Coach Quinn estimates our return around 9:30pm.
For those of you that need somewhere to keep your bag tomorrow, Coach Quinn says that you will be able to store your swim bags in the visiting side of the field house.
Just a reminder that all swimmers are required to ride the bus TO all meets, but may leave FROM the meet with their parents (not on the team bus).
CLICK HERE to download the Permission Form you'll need to complete (including a parent signature) for EACH MEET that your swimmer will not ride the team bus.
Your swimmer must give the completed permission form to Coach Quinn BEFORE the start of the meet.
This form can also be found under the "Links Section" on the left.
IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT THE 12/2 MEET in Rome, Georgia.
We had planned to leave at 3:15 with a bus and driver available at that time. We no longer have that bus and are unable to get another until 3:42. The administration will not pay time and a half and this cuts down on potential drivers. That means that we have to wait until a driver finishes his/her route before they can pick up the team.
The Swim Team is to report to the bus pickup area directly behind the gymnasium immediately after dismissal.
According to the Darlington Coach, warm-ups usually are from 5 to
5:30, so they can get the meet running before 6pm. They will do the best they can to delay our warm-ups, but cannot guarantee it.
Coach Quinn is doing everything he can to keep this from happening, but be prepared to be late for warm-ups and maybe even for the start of the meet.
Directions to Darlington School
Take 1-75 North to Exit 290 (Rome/Canton). Turn left on Georgia Route 20. After three miles, take U.S. Route 41 North. Exit at U.S. 411 South. On the outskirts of Rome, follow signs to Cedartown, (not Rome). Bear left on U.S. 27 and U.S. 411. Exit at Darlington Drive. Turn left. Go 200 feet, then turn right on Darlington Drive. The Athletic Center parking lot will be on your right hand side, prior to the School's main entrance.
1014 Cave Spring Road, Rome, GA 30161 1-800-36-TIGER
Remember that tonight during practice we will be holding the
swim-a-thon!
Swimmers may want to bring a parent or friend to count their laps.
Before leaving practice, swimmers must have Coach Quinn sign off on the number of laps they completed.
Hoodies and pants will be distributed tonight!
SWIM-A-THON fundraising forms were passed out at today's practice. The Swim-A-Thon laps will be completed during the 11/30/04 practice. Please support your swimmer's efforts to collect sponsorships (either per lap or one-time donation) before 11/30. If you have questions, email the WHS Swim Team Booster Club and they'll get you answers!
Be sure to mention to the "per lap" sponsors how many laps your swimmer thinks he/she may swim to ease in collecting final donations!
We will be holding a Booster Club meeting on Thursday, November 18th from 8:00 - 9:00 pm. The meeting will be held at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church - 1208 Rose Creek Drive.
We will be sending a copy of the agenda next week. We also hope to be handing out team t-shirts and team suits.
