Week of 6/24/24 - Waverunner Update (Last week of regular practice, Upcoming Events)
Hi Waverunners! I can’t believe this is our last week of practice for the regular swim season! Let’s make this a great week of practice and get ready for our last swim meet this Thursday at Spalding Corners! Weather-wise - this is looking to be a very hot week. Please make sure you are registered through the Remind app for weather communication. I hope you all can attend our last Fun Friday on 6/28 as we also cheer on our Junior Waverunners at their “mini-meet”.
ACTION ITEMS:
- Lucky Ducks for this week - order HERE by Wednesday 6/26 at 10PM.
- Remind App - if there are any changes to practices or during swim meets 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.
- If you received an email from our County chair, Kristin Rosencrants, about your swimmer going to the County Championship if they qualify, please reply to her ASAP!
- Our head Volunteer Chair, Sara Kroening, sent out an email last week about Coaches and Volunteer gifts. Please reply to her by Friday, 6/28.

Thanks!
Ryan

PCSR is hosting kid tennis camps! These are great camps for beginning players, but also those with some experience playing - they are a lot of fun! To sign up for next week or the week after, click HERE. This is led by fellow swim team parent and professional tennis coach Seth Redelheim. The practices work around our swim team schedule. The Competitive Academy is for ages 12 and up with playing experience (ALTA, USTA, matches).
County Results: Please click HERE to view the most recent Week 4 Individual results. Week 5 will be released soon after our last meet on Thursday. Reply to Kristin Rosencrants by email if your swimmer would like to go to County if they qualify. County practice will begin next week if your swimmer is in the Top 100 or needed for relays. More info to come!
Personal Note from Swim Chair - I am still looking for two people to replace me for this next swim season. This is my 2nd year as chair, and I will not be able to do it next year. We have a multitude of files in our team Google Drive and I will be happy to show the next two people what planning looks like as we have our last away meet this week. This role is best split between two people, but one person could do it also. Please come and talk to me at practice! - Thanks, Ryan
