Week 1 of outdoor practices is complete and the first meet of the season was held yesterday so Summer Swim Season is well underway! This also means that you will be hearing a lot more from me and not just on Sundays! 

Weather 

Tomorrow, it looks like we will get some much-needed rain. Just a reminder, we still hold practices in the rain but not if it is storming. As always, use your discretion on sending your swimmer - especially if they will be unhappy being wet and cold. Stay tuned in the morning for any alerts if it is storming.

The kids shouldn't be the only ones having fun! Gather a few friends or even enemies and pull together a relay team! Contact Coach Barb ([email protected]) to let her know who will be participating. This race will take place in the middle of the event.

Colorado and Touchpad Setup on Tuesday (NEW)

Jim Damm and Jeanine Bonner will be setting up the Colorado and Touchpads on Tuesday morning to check the system and for the swimmers to use at practice. This is a great time for any parent that is available to come and learn how set-up works (especially since this will be the last year for Jeanine).  They will especially need help at 8:30 with set up and then at 11:30 with teardown. If you are able to stop by at either of those times, please let us know.
