This Week
Hi Swim Families,
We had a great first week of practice. It was great to see old and new faces back at the pool. Your kids are swimming great already!!
I'm not sure if your kids shared with you or if you noticed that coach Jennifer is wearing an arm sling. She had to have an unexpected surgery to her shoulder for an infection last week and is on iv antibiotic for the next 4 weeks. This means that she is unable to get into the pool. She has a strong assistant coaching staff that is getting in the water to provide guidance and instruction. In addition, she has been working with kids with a few dry land drills to help improve their skills. Please see me if you have any questions or concerns.
Here is what is happening this week:
- We will have practice Monday - Wednesday afternoon. No practice on Thursday 5/25.
- Time trials will take place on Wednesday. Please try to get your kids to this practice and on time.
- If you are unable to make this practice, please let Kristen ([email protected]) know by Monday practice. We will give a list to the coaches, so they can watch them earlier in the week to get a better idea of their current skill level.
- New Parent meeting Wednesday at 5 PM - If you are new to the team, we will have a brief meeting to answer any questions.
- We will be handing out our team t-shirts this week.
- Last year we used the remind app as an additional form of communication from Coach Jennifer to the parents. This app allows us to send a text to everyone who signs up. This is a great way to communicate if there are weather delays or other things that come up. If you would like to sign up, text the # 81010 and in the message put @wynter
A few reminders:
- Please e-mail Kristen ([email protected]), if you will be missing a meet.
- We are asking families to donate once case of drinks to support our concessions. Please bring your drinks to practice.
- Last names A-K: bring a case of soda (Coke, Diet Coke, Coke Zero, Sprite)
- Last names L-Z: bring a case of 20oz Gatorade / Powerade (any color) - on sale at Costco
- Volunteer positions still open: banquet coordinators and divisional coordinator
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Go Warriors!
