Stingray Families -

Hard to believe are already wrapping up our fourth week of swim team! We hope your swimmer(s) are having a blast and making new friends along the way. We have a very PACKED two weeks ahead, with 3 Home Meets and Tyde's City Meet! Please review all the important information below!

• Practice Change: Remember that starting tomorrow (Friday, June 10), our main practices will switch to mornings now that WSFCS is out for the summer. 
  • 6 & Unders & 9/10s = 8:45-9:30am
    
  • 7/8s = 9:30-10:15am
  • 11 & Up = 10:15-11:00am
• Evening Practice Sign-ups: We will offer evening practices particularly for working parent families with morning conflicts. (NOTE: If you attend morning practice, you should NOT attend evening on the same day). Because we share pool space with the HOA during evening practice, we do require sign-ups so we can plan accordingly. Max is 30 per time slot. First evening practice is Monday, June 13. Register for evening practice here.
• Private Lessons: Tomorrow - Friday, June 10 - the pool is not opening until 4pm. This is a GREAT time for private lessons! You can contact your swimmer's coach directly to arrange lessons. All of our coach emails are on the website here. They are a great way to improve dives, turns and strokes quickly. $15 for 30 minute lesson.
• Team Photo Day: Mark your calendar for Tuesday, June 14th. All swimmers should be dressed in swim meet suits (black) and be ready to smile! There will NOT be practice that morning. Be on the pool deck by 8:30am to lineup for the photo. Denise Christian who does our photos is a pro, and will also offer individual swimmer & sibling photos after the team photo!
• Meet Sign-outs Due for June 14 & June 16 Meet: If you are NOT participating in the Tuesday, June 14 or Thursday, June 16 swim meets, you MUST SIGN-OUT. All sign-outs are DUE TOMORROW - FRIDAY BY MIDNIGHT. Go online to our swim meet calendar list, click "Meet Entry", then "Edit" - select your swimmer and declare their intentions not to attend. 
• Change in After-Meet Team Dinners: Due to the size of our team, we have had to make some adjustments to our after-meet plans. We are NOT hosting an after-meet swim time this season. However, we WILL go out to a local fast food restaurant to celebrate together after the meet! These get togethers are completely optional. The coaches don't get a chance to eat dinner during the meet, so they will eat - and anyone else who wants to join is welcome! The restaurants know we are coming and to expect a big crowd. Here is our revised plan for After-Meet Dinners:
  • June 14 - DairiO Clemmons
  • June 16 - Sonic Clemmons
  • June 21 - DairiO Clemmons
  • June 28 - Sonic Clemmons
  • July 5 - Chick-fil-A Clemmons
• Concession Donations: Reminder to submit your concessions donations by tomorrow, Friday, June 10. Our first home meet is Tuesday and we need Gatorade and name-brand sodas to stock our table! Make sure to mark your name on the drinks and write "Stingrays" so they don't get confused with the HOA stash.

Thanks,

Waterford Swim Team Leadership Committee
