Good morning Stingrays!  Happy Memorial Day Weekend.  

Thank you to all of you for being such troopers last week with the weather delays and chaos!  

A few things going forward for this week...Reminder that there is no practice Mon, May 30th for Memorial Day.

If you didn't get the Remind texts, please follow previous instructions and get in the group.  Please do not respond to Remind.  Those text are for emergent, quick communication, and I don't often see the responses, so let's keep that as our way for us to get quick and important info to you all.

Evals: We still have a few to get through Tuesday.  If you weren't here last week, or we didn't get to you, we will do them Tuesday.  9-10's we'll do yours right at the beginning of practice and then hopefully you can just stay and practice.  We'll start on any 8 & U that are there when we finish with the 9-10's.  

Reminder that unless a parent or sibling is coming in for the restroom, we should only have the group of swimmers that is practicing at that time.  Parents and siblings are welcome to watch from outside the fence area.  With such a large group, we want to keep our practices as organized, efficient, and safe as possible, and less distraction and confusion on the deck helps us all. Parents of swimmers being evaluated may come into pool area Tuesday with your child.

Veteran Parents: Please introduce yourselves to parents you don't recognize!  We have such a friendly and helpful group of families, and you all are so important in bringing in our new families.  Please get to know each other and help each other.  New families, our veteran families are awesome.  Please reach out to them, lean on them, and ask them for help if you're not sure what's going on.  They're awesome, and they will help you!

Please check our website for practice and meet schedule.  We'll be getting some more info to you all very soon, since we are beginning the prep for Red and Black Meet!  Just a quick note too-There is an RSVP process for every meet.  Please do not email, text, or tell coaches which ones you can/can't be at.  We will explain this process as we get the software ready and it will be very simple and efficient for everyone to use.

Weather delays-Just to clarify, if we have to clear the pool for weather, and postpone at all, practice times are not shifted at all.  The schedule remains the same, and whatever time we send out for when we can begin again, whoever's practice that is, that's when we can get in the water.  They don't come earlier than that time for drylands, and we can't adjust and shorten everyone's practice for the day.  We just stop immediately, and begin where we can again, with whichever group is at that time.
