Hello Piranha Families—

Welcome to the 2018 swim season! We are so excited to get started this year!

Please make sure your swimmers are registered before the first practice:

As most of you know, Matt Giroux is returning this year as head coach. Zach Callis, (who some of you may know from teaching lessons at Plantations) will be our assistant coach. Kaylor Stroot and Julia Tomlinson will round out the staff as junior coaches. Please join us for the Meet the Coaches Fundraiser tomorrow night at Peruvian Chicken in Damascus. Coaches will be there at 6:30p but the fundraiser is in effect all day.

We are in serious need of certified officials to help run our meets. If you have been certified in the past, please make sure you are current for this year. If you’ve been thinking about it…NOW is the time. You don’t have to be a swimming expert—they will teach you everything you need to know. Please consider it. Here’s the link for the upcoming classes: http://mcsl.org/Officials.aspx

I will be continuing as A rep this year, and Mike Gregory will be shadowing me and preparing to take over next year. We would love to have one more person on the A rep team who can watch and learn this year. Please let me know if you are interested.

We have two new B reps: Monica Celada and Nikki Rossignol who will be working closely with Dee to keep the B meets running smoothly.

We are looking forward to an amazing season....hard to believe it’s only a week away…see you at the pool!
