Good evening RAY Nation!!  We're off to another great week!  The swimmers are being incredible and working hard, and it sounds like there is lots of fun and laughing off the pool deck too :)  Just wanted to go through a few things before we get into meet stuff... 

TEAM Points of Contact: 

Coach Jodi (me :): All things to do with swimmers and swimming.

Amy Steger ([email protected]) and Natalie Evans ([email protected]): All things to do with worker shifts, positions, jobs.

Stacy Rector ([email protected]): All things to do with merchandise, caps, orders, team clothes, etc.

Michelle Bell ([email protected]): All things to do with team structure, concerns, or anything not listed above.

Please utilize these contacts because it is the fastest and clearest way to get your answers.

REMIND App: This is for us to communicate quickly out to the team.  Please do not use this to reach out to coaches, team reps, etc.  Use text or email to contact us.

SICKNESS: We have a 24 hour no fever, no vomit, or other sick issues policy. Please do not send a sick child to swim-things spread easily when they're all this close to each other and touching everything. We want them to stay as healthy as possible! As we approach meets-If you know that within 24 hours of a meet you have a sick child, please TEXT me asap. The more time I have to change a lineup, the better I can fix it! Last minute sickness will come up, and we know that. But, if a meet is on Thursday and they throw up Wed night, please text me Wed night so I can make changes as needed! 

Practice is going great!  The kids are doing everything and giving their best and we are so proud of them!  They've been practicing all the events and they're prepared to do as much as they can.  Please support their efforts if they are given "harder" events this week and remaining meets.  We believe in them at least trying these, and they are prepared.  Please help us encourage that!  I've been working on the Red and Black lineups, and I know the kids are seeing/hearing events :) so please always suggest they talk to us if needed, and we can talk through any concerns or get extra practice!  They can do these hard things-they're amazing!!

Also, please pay attention to the grassy areas and rec areas that all our families are utilizing while we practice.  We are so happy to see all the playing and fellowship by kids and parents!! Please also make sure to pick up any trash, clothing, shoes, etc. 

Thank you all!  Have a great night, and we'll see you all bright and early tomorrow!
