Good morning Waves!  Today is the day!  Our 2015 season is officially under way!!!

There are a few things to remember about practices and the first few weeks.  Keep in mind, we know sports are transitioning and it may not always be easy to get to practice.  It is advisable to make at least two practices a week, however if you have conflicts, as we all sometimes do, feel free to contact us with any concerns. Please read thoroughly, we will be at the pool from 4-7:30 tonight to answer any questions and hand out tshirts if you were not able to collect them this weekend.  Spirit wear will be available for sale - last day to order is TOMORROW!!! 

Also, if you would like text updates re: weather, meets or practices, please log on to Remind 101 at http://remind.-com/join/waves20

Swimmers, please be on deck and ready for your practice about 5 minutes prior to practice.  You will need to have an appropriate practice suit, swim cap, goggles, towel, a water bottle with your name on it, and fins.  You do not need to wear your team suit to practices.  Parents if your swimmer is anxious about today, please remind them this is fun, and our coaches are here to help them in any way they can,  give them a quick hug and send them to the deck.  We do not permit parents to be on deck during practices.  All parents can watch from behind the roped area.  If you would like to visit with the coaches, please do so via email after practice.  We have so many swimmers, it is not fair to take away from practice time to discuss a swimmer especially this early in the season.  We are more than happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have during practices.  Again we will be there today from 4:00-7:30.  Since we are both parents and finishing up school and sports activities as you all are, we can let you know when we will be at the pool the next two weeks while things are getting started. Our goal is to at least have one of us there from 4:30-7:30 for the next few weeks.  We are also more than happy to answer questions by email. 

Please check the tables today for parent information packet.  Please initial by your information if your information is correct.  If it is not, please make corrections and we will get those made this week. If you know of anyone still having trouble logging in, or not getting emails, let us know.  Some emails are going to spam, so encourage them to check their first. 

Please remember Time Trials are Saturday May 9th.  YOU DO NOT NEED TO REGISTER FOR TIME TRIALS.  You will receive an email later this week regarding instructions on how to register for meets.  This year meet registration will not go live until results from current weeks meets are posted.  In other words, on May 9th, you can register for the meet on May 16th, once Time Trial results go live.  You will now have until noon Monday to register for meets.  If you need to pre register for a meet because you will be out of town, please see us.  We can handle that for you. 

We look forward to seeing you all today at the pool~!
