LET'S GO WAHOOS!!
THE SUMMER SWIM SEASON IS HERE!!
We are all so excited about getting practices started tomorrow! I wanted to send out the practice schedule just for anyone who may have questions. This is always up on our website www.wahoos.swimtopia.com If there's one thing I can stress, it's PLEASE READ THE EMAILS!! I really try to empower you will all the information I can. I'll also try to remember to publish all the emails as news posts on the website so you can just go there to read them if necessary.
Morning practice is held Monday-Friday. WE SWIM IN THE RAIN. Unless it's thundering, we practice. We will always do our best to watch weather and send out an email and an alert (through the Swimtopia app) if practices are canceled.
13 & up: 7:45-9:15
9-12: 9:00-10:15
8 & under: 10:00-11:00
Feeders: 11:00-11:20
**All practices except Feeders will begin with 15 minutes of drylands (stretching and core work**
Evening practice is held Monday-Thursday. Evening practice is a smaller group. Swimmers are not required to come to both practices, but they are welcome. Traditionally, evening practice has been for ages 9 & up. If you have a swimmer in the 8 & under group who is able to keep up with the practices, they are more than welcome. Talk to the coaches, and they will let you know if they feel like your child would be fine at these practices. But if your child is slowing down practice too much, please be respectful of the coaches' decision on that. We really want to make this option available to families, but we do need to keep practices flowing.
9-12 group: 6:30-7:15
13 & up: 7:15-8:00
If your 8 & under swimmer came to the swim test on Friday, they will not practice on Tuesday. If your swimmer still needs to do the swim test, coaches will start the swim tests at 10. Practice for 8 & unders and Feeders will start on Wednesday.
Please be patient with coaches and helpers these first couple of weeks. We are all trying to get our groove back as well!! Coaches may be switching kids into different lanes or moving Feeders up. If you need to talk to the coaches, please wait until after a practice is over, and we ask that parents and older kids not stand or sit on the pool deck during practices. You are free to stand behind the fence at the baby pool or the side to watch.
If you have not paid fees, please be prepared to do that before your swimmers practice tomorrow. There will be someone there to take swim team fees and the $50/per swimmer pool fee for non pool members. Also, consider getting a pool membership for your family. It's a summer of fun for everyone and a great way to make friends!!
Enjoy your Memorial Day and see you tomorrow, Wahoos!!
