Dear Waves Families:

Welcome to the 2016 summer swim team season with The Woodlands Waves.  As you know, practice begins tomorrow, Tuesday, April 26th at Forestgate Pool.

If you have not already done so, please go to the website www.woodlandswaves.swim-team.us to log in and find all of the information for the team.  Use the email that you receive swim team updates on to log in and the password is waves2016.  We are going to do our best to keep all of the information you need updated on the website where you can find it easily.  Bookmark this site...this is where you sign up for meet and for volunteer shifts. (we'll go over that later!)

Just a couple of reminders/notes on swim practice:​

- no parents are allowed on the pool deck - lifeguards, coaches and team reps only

- the first week of practice, especially the first day is chaos, that is normal.  It will settle down when the swimmers learn what to do

- Swimmers bring/wear to practice: one piece suit, goggles, swim cap, towel, fins and water to drink

- Parents bring to practice: a chair to sit and get to know other parents

Our first meet is not until May 7th so the swimmers have two weeks of practice to settle in.  Coach Spoon and his team will be there to greet the swimmers tomorrow and get the off to a good start.  Please let Coach Spoon focus on the kids. 

If you have questions, you have lots of options for answers - Heather Monroe is our rec specialist with The Woodlands Township,

Angie DeMarco is the 2016 Volunteer Coordinator (and she is a swim mom and volunteer),

And you get me for parent communications (another swim mom and volunteer).

There will be more emails during the week with explanations of what is to come, in the meantime, see you at practice!

Many thanks,

Nicole Gauthier
