Hi Piranhas Parents,

It is officially summer! Tomorrow, we are thrilled to welcome our Pre-Team to the pool for their first practice from 10:15–11:00 AM.

Here is everything you need to know for the upcoming week:

SSL Hours for Older Swimmers

If your swimmer is 13 or older and would like to earn SSL hours by helping out with the Pre-Team, please have them come talk to me at practice tomorrow morning.

Action Required: Declare Your Swimmers!

We have a quieter week ahead with no Wednesday B-Meet, but a very busy weekend ahead.

PLEASE DECLARE your swimmer as "available" or "not available" for the rest of the season.

• The coaches can only select swimmers for their line-ups if they are officially declared available.
• If you need help with this process, please reach out to me directly.
• Please log in and take care of this today so I can stop nagging about it in my weekly emails!

Practice & Meet Schedule

Morning Schedule (Monday–Friday)

• 8:00 – 9:15 AM: Ages 13–18
• 9:15 – 10:15 AM: Ages 9–12
• 10:15 – 11:00 AM: Ages 8 & Under

Pre-Team Schedule (Monday–Thursday)

• 10:15 – 11:00 AM: Pre-Team

Afternoon Practice (Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday)

• 5:45 – 6:45 PM: Reminder: This session is strictly reserved for swimmers who attend day camp or families with permanent parent work conflicts. It is not an alternative option for doctor's appointments or sleeping in; if you cannot make morning practice for those reasons, you will simply miss practice that day.
• If you qualify for afternoon practice, please email the coaches in advance to let them know your swimmer will attend all three sessions that week.

Weekend Meets

• Saturday A-Meet @ King Farm: More details to come.
• Sunday A-Relay Carnival @ Clopper Mill Kingview: More details to come.

Friday Frenzy & Team Photo (Friday Morning)

• 8:00 AM: Arrive for the Team Photo (includes Pre-Team!). Please arrive right at 8:00 AM so we can line everyone up efficiently. Swimmers should wear a black swimsuit if possible.
• 8:30 – 9:30 AM: Swim Team Practice
• 9:30 – 10:00 AM: Water Polo
• 10:00 AM: Team Breakfast! This includes all swimmers and pre-teamers. These kids work up a massive appetite, so please sign up to volunteer/bring a dish to help feed the team.

A Critical Note on Next Season

As of right now, no one has expressed interest in stepping up as the B Rep for next year. Please understand that it is simply too much work for one person to run this team alone. If we do not find a B Rep, there will be no B-Meets next season. Please consider stepping into this role so we can keep these meets running for our kids.

See you at the pool tomorrow!

Best,

Katie
