Weekly Information 9/13

All workouts this week M-F are at their normal times and duration.

On Saturday 9/19 there is no workout for any Group.

For swimmers signed up for the meet this weekend, I will have more specific warm-up and other meet information later this week as I receive it.

Hopefully you all read Adam’s email last week and are planning on attending our annual parent’s meeting Wednesday 5:30-6:30 PM upstairs in the Alumni Lounge. All families are asked to send a representative to the meeting.

Remember this is a parent run organization, we rely on you to make it work. If you have any skills that you think might benefit the team, there are always volunteer opportunities.

Fall Swim Lessons begin tomorrow, 9/15.
Please have your swimmer to the pool 10 min before their start time.
Swimmers should have appropriate swim attire, goggles and a cap or hair tie if your swimmers hair might get in their eyes.
Please do not hover near the edge of the pool, it is distracting for the class.

Registration for Fall II Lesson will open up for returning swimmers on Monday Nov 5. It will open for new swimmers on Nov 7.

Ask your instructor if your swimmer is ready to move up in lessons or to join the team before registering for Fall II.
