Parents and Swimmers,
First of all, I want to thank you all for hanging in, helping out, and supporting our swimmers during this very busy summer! Thank you for volunteering, for getting your kiddos to practice, and for being part of the "village" that looks out for all of our kids!
This week's schedule:
Monday: No practice!
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday: Practice every day, mornings and evenings. *Speedy meet swimmers only practice in the morning.
Friday: Fun Friday from 9:00-10:15. Don't miss out on our annual tradition of pancakes and posters!

Champs Info
Who is swimming?
Any swimmer who has competed in at least 2 meets this season (1 meet can be a speedy meet) is eligible to participate in Champs. However, we are limited to 3 entries per event, and building relays depends on the number of swimmers we have available. I have done my best to get as many of our swimmers participating in Champs as possible. Please look over the attached documents to see which event(s) your swimmer(s) is signed up for. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. Final entries are due Monday at noon, so please let me know as soon as possible if you find an error or have a question. Once entries are submitted I will also email them out to the team.

End of Season Banquet
We will celebrate our swimmers at an end of season Banquet following the conclusion of the Championship meet. The banquet will be held at the Wynfield pool from approximately 5:30-8:00. Families are invited to bring their own food and drinks for a picnic around the pool (NO GLASS CONTAINERS ALLOWED), followed by distribution of awards, dessert provided by the team, and our annual shaving cream fight. Look for more details in emails later this week!
