Good afternoon families of our youngest Stingrays!  It is an exciting time as we approach the beginning of our 2023 season!  Thank you for joining us this year.  This email SHOULD be going only to the families of our 8 & Under swimmers and our 9-10's swimmers.  Hopefully this works right :) 

First of all, if your swimmer(s) swam for SWSR last summer, they do not need an evaluation, so you can disregard this!  However, if you have a swimmer (or more than one) who is between the ages of 5 and 10, and they did not swim for SWSR last summer, we need to have an evaluation prior to their first practice.  We are holding these NEW swimmer evaluations on Thurs May 25th, at the Sugarwood pool, from 9 am-11 am.  If this time doesn't work for you, please let me know, we can find another time.  I am attaching a signup genius to this email.  Please sign up for each swimmer if you have more than one.

For these evaluations, they are short and simple.  We need to see that your swimmer can safely keep themselves afloat and be able to listen and follow instructions, and then we can take it from there!  Parents can come on the deck with them, and we'll go through a few ways for them to show us what they can/can't do, and how they react.  We'll push them a little bit if they're able to do more, because it just helps us get ideas for where to place them in lanes when they begin practice.  Please just encourage them to do their best and have fun!  This team is an incredible way for them to gain confidence, endurance, water safety, and make new friends!  We'll work with them in all this, and we want them to join us, so we'll give them as much time and opportunity as able.  If you have any questions, please reach out!  

Thank you all!
