Washington High School Splash Cats

Hello Splash Cat Parents!

THIS is a COPY of the email sent to parents. Please utilize that email to access links. If you are a current SplashCat parent and you do not see the email, please let us know.

Just a few reminders for you.

Please follow this email link to volunteer at our meets. We have a meet this Thursday and we do not have all of the positions filled. Thank you!

The parent email will contain the link to the Team Store. This is for you to purchase a parent shirt or other Swim & Dive item for you, friends, family or your athlete. Once you complete the payment the items are shipped directly to you.

The parent email also contains the team calendar if you desire to add it to your own or to just check in. It will be updated along the way with info from Coach Barfield.

I hope you all have a great week!

PNJ All-Area: Meet the individual award-winners from the 2024 swimming and diving season

3A District 1 Champs

Recently, SplashCat families were emailed a volunteer link for concessions, meets, and Hospitality. We have the best team and booster club in the area. It's because of dedicated parents like you. Please sign up where you can. There is lots to do and we want our swimmers and divers to focus on competing. The rest of us have to do the leg-work to get them there. Volunteering on deck is much better than sitting in the hot stands.

Please volunteer.

Volunteering at SplashCat swim meets is crucial for several reasons:

Supporting the Sport: Volunteers are the backbone of swim meets. They handle essential tasks like timing races, officiating, and managing logistics, ensuring the event runs smoothly.

Building Community: Volunteering fosters a sense of community among parents, swimmers, and coaches. It creates a supportive environment where everyone works together towards a common goal.

Enhancing the Experience: Volunteers help create a positive and organized atmosphere, which enhances the overall experience for the swimmers. This support allows athletes to focus on their performance and enjoy the competition.

Learning and Growth: Many volunteers are former swimmers or parents of swimmers. By sharing their knowledge and experience, they help develop the next generation of athletes.

It also helps generate revenue for the club through various activities like managing snack bars or organizing fundraisers.

Personal Fulfillment: Volunteering can be incredibly rewarding. It offers a chance to give back to the community, make new friends, and be part of something bigger.

Max Little!!! Go!
