​Dear Waves families,

As we start week two of summer swim, we are still having technical difficulties with the website. Ironically, if you are receiving this email you are likely not experiencing them.  Either way, it should be completely resolved by noon on Tuesday.

As you know, this Saturday, May 7th is Time Trials  ALL SWIMMERS MUST HAVE A SEED TIME TO SWIM IN A DUALMEET OR IN DIVISIONALS.  Did I mention that there are more than 200 swimmers on The Woodlands Waves Swim Team? If you are unable to make it to time trials, there are no make up sessions.  Your swimmer will be assigned a time of 1 minute longer than the slowest time.  This will not affect how fast they swim in the first meet, only the heat. 

If you have access to the website please sign your swimmer up for Time Trials now.  Sign in and go to the home page. Look under the red "Events" bar on the left and click on the swimmer image. Select a swimmer, then the meet entries.  If your swimmer does not receive a seed time for a stroke, they will not be able to race in that stroke all season.  So if your swimmer is even thinking about or practicing for a race, get a seed time.  I really don't want to have to tell you no, later in the season!

Also happening on Saturday is the big team photo, so be sure to pick up your team suit this week.  Individual photos are scheduled for May 13th.  Details on all of that to come later.

Last, but certainly not least, soon you'll be hearing from our Volunteer Coordinator, Angie!  Angie and I cannot do this alone and we need you to make these meets run smoothly!  All families should plan to volunteer to do something at every home meet.  We will still need volunteers at away meets too!  There are more than 200 swimmers so there should be plenty of help for our swimmers!

Angie and I will be at the pool this week if you have any questions or if you have not received your team shirt.  Please let us know what questions you have and we'll be sure to find the right volunteer opportunity for you!

Go Waves!
