Good morning Waves families.  I hope you all had a wonderful long weekend celebrating and honoring our service men, women and their families.  I know you all join me when I say thank you for your sacrifices and your service.  

This week will be a busy one.  This email will be a bit lengthy.  I took the time to compose it, please take the time to read it.  

 

WLWvsSCS - Congrats to our Waves again!  We did it!  We are 3-0 as we head into the last two dual meets before divisionals!  The final score was SCS 640 - Waves 827.

your hard work and dedication is really showing!  Coaches are proud of how are Waves are performing in and out of the pool.  Coach Spoon was especially proud of how our WAVES showed hospitality and excellent sportsmanship this weekend.  He and I were both approached by the Stingrays coaches, officials, and parents expressing gratitude for our  team's outstanding leadership and character in and out of the water.  This goes for our swimmers, parents and volunteers!  Congrats WAVES!  Speaking of stepping up a MASSIVE TIDAL WAVE thank you to the following volunteers who stepped in and stepped up.  These folks made runs to their houses to print, to get their own printers and lap tops, gave up devices off of their key chains and poor Angie went to Wal-Mart on Memorial Day Saturday.  These peeps pulled together spoke a foreign IT language and in true WAVES fashion, got 'er done so we could not only start on time but run pretty seamlessly.  It was a huge effort and I cannot say thanks enough to the Venables, the Wheelers, Dana Busch, Kristine Hudanish, Krish (safe travels to India!) and of course Miss Angie De Marco! 

 

Volunteering - This week with an 8 lane pool we will need a few more timers and scribes.  Look for the email for extra spots from Angie.  Many of you have completed your 4 sessions and have been refunded your $200.  Thank you so much for all you have done - we could not to it without you.  And speaking of volunteers - have you seen our storage shed???  A big ROGUE WAVES thank you to the Rabels for tackling that job!  What an undertaking and what a transformation!!!  $200 back to you guys! If you need your garages cleaned out this summer you may want to ask them!  

 

Practice - This week in practice coaches will be working on stream lining, dolphin kicks, pull outs, walls and starts.  It is going to be a busy week.  We know it is the end of school so we ask you remind your swimmers of a few things.  Come to practice!  Its a busy week, but it's still swim season.  Show up on time and be ready to listen and work.  Practice can be fun, but we need everyone to pay attention and respect the jobs of their coaches and the work they need to do!  REMEMBER THIS FRIDAY PRACTICE IS 6-7PM FOR 10 AND UNDERS AND 7-8PM FOR 11 AND UP.  Morning practices will start next Tuesday.  

WLWvsGLF - Coach feels this week will be our toughest yet.  In looking at league scores, this team is a 800-900 point team so we need ALL SWIMMERS!  Please be sure to get your entries in by midnight tonight and initial your entries to confirm them. Also be sure and sign the relay form if you will not be available for relays or as an alternate!  Also keep in mind as you make entries, if you would like to swim a stroke at divisionals either individually or in a relay you must have an official time in that stroke ( Time Trials will not count).  EX if you have been swimming the girls 13/14 free relay but do not have an official 50 free time - YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE RELAY AT DIVISIONALS.  Another example if you are swimming the fly in the medley relay but do not have an official time for the fly - YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE MEDLEY RELAY AT DIVISIONALS!   We only have two dual meets left and I want to be sure everyone is ready for their swims at divisionals!  

Invitationals - Binders for Trinity and Ponderosa will be out today.  More information about these meets will go out later this week.  If you are going to Sprint Sizzler please bring a check for Julie Miller today or mail your checks to Northampton by Thursday.  

Weather - Practice will be canceled via text on Remind 101 if weather is bad.  

 

That's it for now.  More information about Post Season invitationals, divisionals and this weekend meet coming soon.
