Good morning families,

We are excited that you have decided to join us this summer at the pool! We will begin practice this week with 2 dryland practices. These practices are important even though we won't be in the pool. They allow the coaches to get to know the swimmers, allow the swimmers to meet the coaches and fellow swimmers, and give us (the coaches) a chance to work on basic skills that will later be implemented in the pool. As you plan for this week, here are a few important reminders:

1) Covid waiver form: Please make sure you have turned in this form prior to the first practice. Swimmer participation is dependent on this waiver being on file.

2) DRYLAND PRACTICE on Monday and Tuesday

Dryland Practice this week is on Monday and Tuesday (5/17 & 5/18) on the basketball courts at the Wynfield Pool (down the hill from the club house).

-Practice times

Please make sure your swimmer has the following for each swim practice:

-googles and cap

-Dry towel (or 2--the water is going to be chilly!)

4) Report any scheduling conflicts. Please look ahead at your summer calendars. If your swimmer(s) will not be able to attend a meet, please sign them out now. The sign out sheet can be found on the team website. It is very important for us to know which swimmers will be out from certain meets so that we can line up relays accordingly

5) Remind App: If you have not already done so, please download the Remind app and join @wynfie . This will be very important as the season progresses to get time sensitive information about changes in schedule due to weather, etc.

The coaches and I cannot wait for a fun season with our Wynfield family. We look forward to seeing you this week!
