What a great first day of practice!  It was so good to meet some of you for the first time and reconnect with those we haven't seen since the end of last season.  Our swimmers sure have grown!!! 

We have heard so many positive comments and such great feedback about Coach Spoon and Coach Morgan's practice, and both coaches were excited about how the practices ran and are ready for day 2!  Brian was also a great help to our swimmers as he was last year.  Brian is an interim coach, and will be helping out until our other permanent assistant coach is here.  We will also have WSI (Water Safety Instructors) helping out throughout the season.  It is important that our swimmers treat all WSIs, and coaches (as well as our lifeguards) with the utmost respect.  We will not tolerate rude behavior or talking back with any of our instructors.   If this occurs, there will be a warning and if it continues, we will remove the swimmer from practice.  We encourage you to remind your swimmers of this, especially with our WSIs who are often younger and may know swimmers on a more personal level. 

Please remember to bring a water bottle to practice - Coach Spoon highly encourages this!  It may be cool now, but keeping swimmers hydrated is important.  They are athletes too - just without the shoes!  If you do not have your goggles or fins, please have those by May 5th.  Remember if you are getting a team suit, we do have individual pictures on May 8th and team photo before time trials May 9th.
