Good morning Waverunners,

As always, please read the whole email. Things can fluctuate during summer swim and we want everyone to have all of the information.

Thank you to everyone who participated in and volunteered at our mock meet. I'm so proud of our new swimmers who swam for the first time. The recap with times is attached to this email. This will tell you how fast your child was, whether they were DQ'ed (they will not have a time), or did not swim (NS). There is a Swimtopia app that has real time updates during meets you can download if interested.

We have a few swimmers who needed help across the pool and Coach Joy will meet with those kid's parents to talk about practice and meets this week. In a dual meet the kids have to swim solo, so if your swimmer is not ready for that yet we will keep evaluating as the season progresses. A lot of these kids are able to compete in the meets after a few weeks of practice.

For morning practices, we have adjusted the times slightly due to the number of swimmers in each group. The times are as follows:

 7 and 8s 8:15-9:00 am 

Jr Waverunners (3-5 yr olds who are not swimming the length of the pool) 9:00-9:30 am, start on June 1st

6 & unders 9:30-10:00 am

9 & 10s 9:45-10:30 am

11&ups 10:30-11:30am 

Evening swim sign-ups are on the Waverunners board by the men's room. If your swimmer will be attending due to camp or other needs, please write their name and age and days on each week so we can staff these appropriately. 

Wednesday May 27th is our picture retake day and first team Pasta Potluck. Individual pictures will take place from 4-6 pm and the team picture at 5 pm. Please have your swimmer wear their team shirt if you received them last week, we will hand out the rest before the picture. Most kids wear the t-shirt or team suit for their individual pictures, but dress however you want. Individual pictures are not required. The link for the packages is attached.

Wavecrawlers and Wavewalkers are invited to the picture and potluck.

Please sign up to bring something for the potluck: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080F48A4AB2CA1F85...

The kids will be able to eat (and carb up for the meet on Thursday) and swim. Lifeguards will be present for the party. 

The meet on Thursday will be at Fields and they have an 8 lane pool. This makes for a faster meet! Information and the heat sheet will be sent via email, but sometimes it is the morning of the meet. Arrival time is 5 pm for all meets. They have lots of parking and a big pool deck for us.

Please RSVP now (open until 5 pm Monday) for this meet (and you can do so for any meet you know you can or cannot attend). Please only RSVP no if you are absolutely certain you will not attend. It is easy to pull kids out of the meet, but not possible to put them in if the meet is seeded. 

You can request 3 events in the notes section of the RSVP, but please be aware these are not guaranteed. 

Please know that we appreciate all of the parents who make summer swim happen and we hope you and your child are having fun. Please talk to Amy or Jess if you have any concerns or ideas for us.

We will see everyone at the pool!

Amy & Jess
