Great practice last night!

Thank you to everyone who has emailed concerning their swimmers and the June 20th meet. This is very helpful.

Keep checking with your friends and neighbors to make sure they are receiving the emails.

We will not be practicing this Friday. I've had a change in my schedule . 

Parent meeting tomorrow evening at 6 pm at Kings Landing Pool. We will cover the season, traveling to away meets, what happens in a summer league meet and more.

Week of June 8- 13

Weather is not looking good for tomorrow but right now practice is scheduled for Kings Landing Pool.

5-6 younger kids

6-7:30 for the older kids

The rest of the week looks great. Each day is supposed to be sunny and warm- to very warm.

Wednesday - Parent meeting at Kings Landing Pool at 6pm.

Think about volunteering for the snack bar. You will not miss your swimmer's events. We need 3-4 parents to work selling drinks, walking tacos, etc. We will also need people to donate food, drinks, donuts and bagels, etc....

Volunteer opportunities-

 2 parents for Clerk of Course - we set up benches under the large green canopy. Swimmers report to the area and you place them in their heat and lane. 

Timers  - good spot to see all events

Sweep judges

runner- picks up sheets from timers

Set up - this will happen Friday evening at 7pm on Friday June 19 - The more people we have, the faster we finish.  We need people to help move all the chairs on the deck.

June 20- Please notify me now if your swimmer will not be at the meet June 20.  This is our first meet of the season and it takes me several hours to set up the line up for the first meet.

I have to have the line up completed by Wednesday evening , June 17. Our line up has to be submitted on Thursday June 18. Please send me an email, don't tell me at practice. I'll never remember!

We are off to a great start Hannah and I are very impressed with the talent each swimmer demonstrates at practice.

I ask that swimmers in the 11 and older age groups make 3 practices a week - the more you practice, the better you swim

Club swimmers- please check in once a week

We had a great practice last night. Hannah and I were very happy with the kids. The younger kids did a great job of listening and working hard.

Day 2 of our season-
