PIRANHA FAMILIES ---

We did it!  After 2 years we were back in the pool and it was great to see everyone out there!!  Thanks to all of our volunteers who helped us get through Time Trials this morning.  A special thanks to Barbara Vaughn (1st time starter), Shannon Dietrich (Stroke and Turn) and Rosie Tomlinson (Stroke and Turn) for helping out in a pinch this morning as we were a little short-handed!  I really appreciate all of your help!!  Coach Julia will be sending out the Time Trial Results this evening!!!

This week we have Time-Trial makeups and our first A-meet on Saturday!  In addition, Spirit Wear sales end this evening and we are setting up a new tradition for this week.  All of the details are below:

WEEKLY MEET SCHEDULE:

1. Time Trial Make-up:

WHEN: Monday-Wednesday, during or after each practice

WHERE: Plantations II Pool

WHO: All swimmers who missed Time Trials and wish to receive a time in an attempt to make the first A-meet.  I have notified each family and requested they select a date for making up time trials.  We have a large number of swimmers who need to make up Time Trials.  We will do our best to get everyone a time if we can.

VOLUNTEERS: Parents of time trial make up swimmers plan to stay during and/or after practice and time your swimmers. We will have stroke and turn to identify swimmers who are not legal in their strokes.

2. SPIRIT WEAR: Final day to order you Spirit Wear is TODAY BY MIDNIGHT.  I encourage you to go on line and get your gear to represent the Piranhas when we travel to our L-Division foes!

3. NEW EVENT:  Piranha Pass Down (Collection Monday and Tuesday, Pass Down on Wednesday, June 16th at practice!)

Do you have any gently worn Piranha gear or swim suits that your swimmer has outgrown?  Bring them to practice on Monday and Tuesday and place in the box.  On Wednesday, Cyndi Gregory will have a table of all of these items available at practice on a first-come, first-served basis for swimmers who will fit in and use these items.

4. First A- Meet:

WHEN: Saturday, June 19th @ 9am; warm-ups at 8:00am. Arrive by 7:50am and Check-in with Coach Julia or Coach Sara.

WHERE: Plantations II Pool

WHO: Quail Valley

DECLARE YOUR SWIMMERS: Please go on-line and declare your swimmers either AVAILABLE or NOT AVAILABLE for the meet. You must be declared by 6pm, Wednesday, June 16th, so that the coaches can prepare the meet line-up.
