Hi Wavemakers past and present,

I am sending emails to those registered and those that swam last season.  I will start to send just to this season's swimmers soon, but want to continue to keep everyone in the loop in case anyone is going to swim and just hasn't registered yet.  I hope you are all doing well!  Here is some important information, and please be patient with us as we adapt to the current restrictions that seem to always be changing.  The motto for this season is patience and flexibility...much like the past year. :)

In this email:

• Parent Zoom meeting
• Practice update
• What to bring to practice
• Meets
• Junior coaches
• Team suit

PARENT ZOOM MEETING

We will have a parent Zoom meeting to go over procedures for practices this Tuesday at 7PM.  It will be recorded for those that can't make it, and we'll send out the recording to all.  Here is the link to join on Tuesday:

PRACTICE

Practice starts May 10 at Mark Trail at the times below.  We will have more logistics to come, but please plan on having your children arrive and leave in their suits and only being there for their practice time.  We are now able to have all swimmers attend practice each night, so we will NOT have a sign up.  We will utilize pool and deck space to ensure kids are spaced out during practice.  

• Ages 6&under: Mon - Thurs from 5:30 pm – 5:50 pm
• Ages 7 to 10: Mon - Thurs from 6:00 pm – 6:40 pm
• Ages 11 & older: Mon – Thurs from 6:50 pm – 7:30 pm

WHAT TO BRING TO PRACTICE

Swimmers should wear their suit to practice and bring goggles and a towel.  11&up should bring a water bottle as well.

MEETS

Our meets will be virtual this year, meaning we time ourselves at our pool and the other team times themselves at their pool.  We are working out exactly what this looks like, but will most likely be a combination of timing kids at practices and having some age groups come for a "meet like" environment on Tuesday nights.  More details to come.

JUNIOR COACHES

If your 13 and older swimmers is interested in being a junior coach, please let me know!  Junior coaches are volunteer coaches that help out at practices and meets.  I work with them on how to coach/teach effectively as they work with the younger age groups.

SWIM SUITS

We will have a swim suit fitting for our new team suit (suits are only available for 2 year cycles), stay tuned for info.  You are not required to purchase a new team suit.

I will be sending more emails than normal over the next week as we prep for the 1st practice.  After that, I will send a weekly email with all info.

Thanks,

Coach Julie
