Hi Waverunners!

Thursday’s Mock Meet was so much fun! I hope your swimmers enjoyed it. I really appreciate all of the volunteers for stepping up and learning your roles and our seasoned volunteers for helping out - we couldn’t have a swim meet without you!

Very important***RSVPs for the dual meet on Thursday May 29th are due today Saturday May 24th by 2 pm. We need these asap to seed the meet*** RSVP HERE

Please RSVP if your swimmer is not attending also. Coaches do not have time to track down everyone to ask and we want everyone who wants to swim and is eligible (can swim solo across the pool) to be able to swim.

A BIG thank you to Jenn Gaulding, our Spirit Wear Chair, for the incredible work on t-shirt design, and then her organizing all of the merchandise orders for our families. Thank you to Trader Joe’s for donating the bags - please support them!

Set-Up - thank you to Amanda Caskey, for her work on set up and the committee members and extra hands that helped Thursday.

A big thank you for our Starters, Danny James and Pat Todebush, and our National Anthem singers who stepped up at the last minute, Ian and Natalie Kennel.

Concessions - Ilene Roberts - you did an amazing job! Thank you for all your work on concessions. Thank you swim team for supporting our concessions!

Do not be discouraged if your swimmer has a DQ/disqualified for the stroke. This is why we practice. Our coaches have the DQ information and will be looking to help improve. We also have Stroke Clinics for extra practice, the first is on Saturday, May 31st - sign up HERE if your swimmer would like to have some extra practice.

Stroke Clinics: Did your swimmer DQ? Need some extra help with a stroke? Sign up for a stroke clinic (or two)! $15 per session, per swimmer :)
