Week of 6/10/24 - Practices, Swim Across America, Spirit Night at Panda Express on 6/12
Hi Waverunners! Looking forward to another great week of swim practice and fun! Please keep your fingers crossed for great weather as we swim against Peachtree Station!
ACTION ITEMS:
- Parent Relay! We are bringing back the parent & coaches relay at our meet vs. Peachtree Station! If you would like to swim in our parent relay before the meet, please reach out to Teale Nist. This is such a fun event and we are excited to bring back this fantastic tradition! :) Teale’s email: [email protected] There is a practice for interested parents this Thursday morning with the coaches, from 7:15 - 8:15am.
- We will plan to meet at our pool parking lot @ 4PM Thursday to decorate cars, posters, and caravan over to Peachtree Station!
- Remind App - if there are any changes to practices due to weather, we will be communicating them through this app and NOT by email. Sign up HERE or text @pcwave24 to the number 81010 from your cell phone.
*** This week, all of the Gwinnett County Swim League will have their meets on 6/13 this week with an “American” theme for Swim Across America, which is a fundraising organization that hosts charity swims to help fund Pediatric Cancer research. All proceeds from our Lucky Ducks fundraiser this week will go to Swim Across America, which locally will go to the Aflac Cancer & Blood Disorders Center - Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. If you would like to make an additional donation to Swim Across America on behalf of the PC Waverunners, click HERE and select our team. On Thursday, you can have your swimmers with Americana type themed accessories- red, white, and blue. We will likely see it at Peachtree Station as their theme, but we can participate as well.
