Week of 6/9

Wynfield Families,

Thank you to everyone who helped make Thursday night run smoothly.  We appreciate you!!! This week we will shift to our summer schedule mid-week this week. On Monday, June 9 and Tuesday, June 10, we will continue with our afternoon only practices. Starting on Wednesday, June 11, we will switch to our summer schedule. Our summer schedule consists of morning practices Monday-Thursday, and afternoon practices Monday-Thursday on days that DO NOT have meets. Swimmers should only attend ONE practice each day. If at all possible we do request that try to make the morning practices. In the afternoon we are not able to divide our practices by age, and we must share the pool with neighborhood pool users, which limits our space. With such a large team this year, the more swimmers we can get to the morning practices, the better it will be for all swimmers!

Speedy Meet Families: In order to make sure our practices run smoothly, we have reserved 12 spots for speedy meet swimmers in our afternoon practices. Please use SignUpGenius to claim a spot in either Session 1 or Session 2 for afternoon practices beginning June 11. Speedy meet practice sign up
