Week of 6/8

Wynfield Waves Families,

A huge shoutout to our speedy meet swimmers who had their first meet yesterday!  Thank you to everyone who helped make our first speedy meet  run smoothly. We appreciate you!!!  This week we will shift to our summer schedule mid-week. We will continue with our afternoon only practices on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Starting on Thursday,, 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!
