Howdy Ho Dolphins!!

I hope everyone is excited about the first day of practice tomorrow. This is going to be an incredible season and I speak for all the coaches when I say we can't wait to get started. Here's a couple of things to remember for practice tomorrow: 

Practice Times (May 12- May 21): 

6 & under 4:30 pm - 5:00 pm

7 – 10 5 pm - 5:45 pm

11 & over 5:45 pm- 6:30 pm

* We will not have practice on May 16 or May 22-23

1. Weather. I know the weather is not looking great for this week. Each day we will make a decision by 3pm on the status of practice. We will mainly be looking at rain. If it is just chilly, we are going to still have practice. For our 6 and unders we will mainly work on some stuff out of the water like going over names and some of the motions we can do outside of the water. If the cold doesn't bother them we will let them get in. For our older swimmers we will also spend part of the time going over terms they may have forgotten since last summer and a part of the time in the water. 

I will send an email and post it on the facebook.

2. Swimmers should come to practice with appropriate swimming attire. This includes a suit, goggles and towel. (If it's cold you may want to bring 2 towels. 1 to dry them off and 1 to keep them warm on the way home).

3. IMPORTANT: Attached you will find a swim team participant waiver and release. This is a requirement from the board/neighborhood not from us. If you can print this out, sign it and bring to practice tomorrow. We will have copies at practice tomorrow. We cannot let your swimmer in the water until we have this signed. 

4. While this is a few weeks away I wanted to point out that our first meet is on Tuesday, May 27 @ Spalding Woods. A lot of teams couldn't swim on Thursday that week so we agreed to swim on Tuesday. I will send out more information about meets next week but wanted to put that on everyones mind. Make sure you look at all the meets on the Swim Meets tab and go ahead and enter your swimmers status. 

If you know anyone who hasn't signed up, PLEASE encourage them to join swim team. We are going to close sign ups during the first week of morning practice and we want everyone to get to join in on the fun!!

If you have any questions, please reach out to me!
