Hi Wavemakers past and present,

I will start sending weekly emails from now on as we approach the beginning of the season. For those that aren't returning from last season and are still getting these emails, I will start to only email those registered in May (but I know some are still planning to register from last year, so I want everyone to have all info!).  Also, we will NOT have practice on 5/21, the last day of public school.

*Concessions organizer still needed (plan and purchase food for concessions)

In this email:

• Practice update
• Juniors team
• What to bring to practice
• Meets
• Team suit
• Sponsorships
• Coach Julie's cell

PRACTICE

Practice starts May 4 at Mark Trail at the times below (210 Seville Chase). We will test the water temp each day, and if it is too cold, we will do dry land exercises. Have your child bring/wear tennis shoes just in case. We will have a parent meeting at 6PM on Thursday, 5/7, for all new families (returning are welcome to join).

• Ages 6&under: Mon - Thurs from 5:00 pm – 5:30 pm
• Ages 7 to 10: Mon - Thurs from 5:30 pm – 6:15 pm
• Ages 11 & older: Mon – Thurs from 6:15 pm – 7:00 pm

JUNIORS TEAM

We have the juniors team for kids 6 or younger who are not ready to swim the length of the pool by themselves yet. These swimmers come at the same time as the regular 6&unders for practice. The only difference with this group is that they will not participate in meets until they're ready.  We will work with everyone the 1st week to make sure all are in the correct category (juniors or regular 6&u).

WHAT TO BRING TO PRACTICE

Swimmers should wear their suit to practice if possible as the bathrooms do not allow for many to be changing at the same time. Also bring goggles (if desired) and a towel. 11&up should bring a water bottle as well. We will watch the water and air temps and only get in the pool if it is safe/warm enough. For the first week, please have your child either wear or bring tennis shoes as well so we can do dry land exercises if necessary.

MEETS

Our meets are scheduled, and we have 3 home meets and 2 away. Our schedule can be seen here. The volunteer slots for meets will open after our parent meeting on May 7.

SWIM SUITS

If you missed our fitting and need a suit, you have a couple options. If you already know your size, Click here to order suit. Click on “team login”. Username is MTPS and password is 1234. If not, I have confirmed with the vendor that as long as you order by May 7, you can still get your order in the team shipment, which means you can try on during the first week of practice.

*Purchasing a team suit isn't required, and if you have yours from last year and it fits, wearing that is totally fine!
