• Remind App: For quick updates during the season (like lightning delays, practice/meet reminders, etc) this is how I will communicate with you. To join, click HERE or on your cell text 81010 and text this message: @pcwave24

• Inclement Weather: If practices are canceled or meets are delayed I will communicate this info through the Remind App. Please make sure that you are registered! Even if you have done so in the past, this is a new group and the code is different (@pcwave24)

• Volunteers : If you have not yet heard from your volunteer committee chair, please contact Sara Kroening ASAP: [email protected]We need each family to volunteer for one shift during the swim meet where your child is swimming. We cannot do the swim meets without you! Additionally, please contact her if you can help be a Stroke and Turn judge. That training needs to be completed soon. It is a great way to volunteer and still watch your child swim.

• Team Info Sheet: Please see HERE for updated Team Info Sheet

• Swimsuits: Text or email Jenn: [email protected] or 407-739-4981 if you still need some sizing help with suits.

• Team Fundraiser: Jenn Gaulding is also collecting old Waverunner swimsuits that your child has outgrown. She will have the donated swimsuits for sale during the first few weeks of practices. If you have any Waverunner suits that you would like to donate, please contact Jenn or bring them to practice Monday.. All proceeds from the sales of the suits will be put towards the swim team. Text or email Jenn: [email protected] or 407-739-4981

• Team Store: Click HERE for our team store for a few Waverunner shirts and items. Jenn has added some new merchandise - be sure to check it out! A portion of the proceeds goes back to our team.

Kids Tennis Camps : PCSR is hosting kids tennis camps this summer, led by Swim Team parent and USTA Certified professional tennis coach, Seth Redelheim. These are worked around our Swim Team schedule. Link to register: HERE

Mock Meet - Thursday, May 23rd : I will send out more information about the Mock Meet on Wednesday. But a heads up - please make sure that when you arrive for pictures and the Mock Meet, to obey the “No Parking” signs. If our parking lot gets full, you can park along the street closest to our pool. Also, Simpsonwood United Methodist Church has agreed to let us park in their parking lot if we need to at our home meets. Please thank them!

We will have a full concessions menu available for purchase : CASH only! I have attached the menu below. There will be hot dogs, hamburgers/cheeseburgers, and everyone’s favorite - CANDY! All proceeds go to our team.

Mock Meet schedule, (for all swimmers 12 and under, plus ALL volunteers):

3:30 - 4:30 Individual Pictures

4:30 : Line Up for Team Pictures (Waverunners will have their shirts for team picture)

5:30: Warm-Up

6:00: Begin Mock Meet

13 and up swimmers - please come to cheer on the younger swimmers! We should be finished by 8PM.

Team and Individual Pictures: We will be taking our Team Picture next Thursday, May 23rd before our Mock Meet, starting the line-up at 4:30PM to take the picture at 4:45PM sharp. We also have the opportunity for Individual Pictures to be made, from 3:30 - 4:30. Many of our families use the Individual time slots to get Sibling pictures made - you just need one slot. Please make sure you download the fillable PDF attached and fill it out prior to next Thursday and bring it with you. For the individual pictures, please sign up for a time-slot HERE. Junior Waverunners, please come for the team picture as well!

Clean-up: After the meets that we host (including Mock Meet), we ask that families help to clean-up afterwards to put back the chairs, tables, put away trash, etc and get the pool back and ready for operation. This week’s group for clean-up are our swim team families with last names of A - G. *If you are not able to attend the Mock Meet, please switch with someone from another group (H - O, P - Z).

Action Item: Concessions Donations! Each year, we ask the team to help us with Concessions Donations in order to make our Concessions more profitable for our team. It has been more difficult to have this stored in our non-climate controlled storage shed. We are asking each family this time to please make one concession donation of $10 via Venmo to our Concessions Chair, Ilene Roberts. This will help her to manage and purchase the needed drinks - Gatorade, water, soda, and chips, for our Mock Meet and two home meets. Her info : @Ilene-Roberts-2, last 4 digits 6131.

Thanks!
