Piranha Families ——

Happy Memorial Day!  Tomorrow, May 31st is our first practice of the year.  Three IMPORTANT details:

     1. Team Suit Fitting:  Our swim suit vendor will be at the pool tomorrow starting at 4:30pm for swim suit fitting.  Our team suit is black with a green Piranha.  Check the website for prices and styles.  If for some reason the team suit does not fit you, you can select another brand and they will put the logo on it for $5.  Katie Smith, Team Rep, will be on site to make sure everything goes well with the suit fitting.

   2. Practice Schedule: 

           4:45-5:45pm - 11-18 year olds who are RETURNING swimmers

           5:45-6:45pm - 10&under who are RETURNING swimmers

           6:45pm - ALL NEW SWIMMERS - Coach Julia would like to meet each of you and see you swim to assign you to the correct practice.  Please come early for suit fitting and be ready to hit the water at 6:45pm.

     3 Meet the Reps:  All parents I will be holding informational briefings during each practice.  For returning parents there will be little you don’t already know.  New parents, please try and be there at 6:45pm so I can review important information with you about the team and how we operate.

Schedule this Week:

      1. Practice (after Tuesday):

              Wednesday - Friday: 11-18 4:45-5:45pm, 10u 5:45-6:45pm

              Saturday: 11-18 8:00-9:30am, 10u 9:30-10:30am

      2. Parent Meet and Greet:  Thursday, June 2nd - 5:45-6:15pm.  This is an opportunity for the new parents to get to know the returning parents and for the returning parents to reconnect.  This will be at the pool during practice and is a low key event. Hope to see you all there.

      3. Piranha Pass Down: Check you closets for gently used swim suits that no longer fit (team or practice suits) and any spirit wear that your kids have outgrown.  Bring them to any practice this week for collection by the Gregory Family.  On  Saturday, June 4th we will have all the donated items available for pick up on a first come first served basis during morning practice.

     4. Spirit Wear: We have already received a lot of orders, but the last day to order merchandise for the preseason order is June 1st.  The link is a available on the website, but availability is limited.  Please contact Ashley Johnson or one of the team reps if you have any questions.

     5. Officials Training: If you need to recertification, or if you were looking to become certified as an official, training is being held online.  You need to go to www.MCSL.org and navigate to the officials certification page to sign up for training.  See Rob Klein or one of the team reps if you have any questions.

      6. Volunteering:  Every parent is asked to volunteer throughout the swim season.  We will discuss this at parents meetings on the 31st, but if you have any questions about volunteering please contact our volunteer coordinators Cyndi Gregory and Shannon Dietrich, or a Team Rep.

E-mail during the season:   During the season the Reps will try to keep e-mails to twice a week, typically Sunday for the upcoming B Meet and Wednesday for the weekends A Meet.  The e-mails will follow the same format so you know where to find the information you need.  We will only spam you with extra emails if there is a change to the schedule, or if we made an error.  We will make every attempt to not overwhelm you with emails!

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the pool tomorrow!  Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!! 

Your Team Reps!
