Good Afternoon,

It was so nice to see the kids in the pool yesterday. Everyone looked to have a great first practice!

I wanted to reach out regarding the practice schedule. I’ve received feedback that the 4 PM practice time is difficult for many families to make. We initially moved practices earlier due to coaching availability, but we want to ensure the schedule works for as many families as possible.

To gather input, I’ve created a quick survey—please take a moment to complete it so we can determine the best time for everyone. We will continue with the current practice schedule through the rest of this week, and I’ll compile the responses and send an update on Friday. Please note the changes to normal practice days below.

Upcoming Optional Practice Dates:

• Thursday, May 22: Optional practice for all swimmers, 4:00–5:00 PM
• Wednesday, May 28:
  • Ages 9 & Up: 4:30–5:30 PM
  • Ages 8 & Under: 5:30–6:30 PM

Reminders:

• If you need to contact the coaches, you may reach them directly:
  • Coach Meghan: [email protected]
  • Coach Cristin: [email protected]

You are always welcome to contact me as well, and I’m happy to pass anything along.

I’ll be making a trip to Kiefer today to pick up swimsuits for those who placed orders. Swim caps have also arrived and will be distributed by the coaches at today’s practice. Team shirts are in production and will be handed out during the Mock Meet and Picture Day on Tuesday, June 3rd.

Thank you all for your patience and support—we’re looking forward to a fantastic season!

Warm regards,

Erin
