SWSR - Informational Email
Sugarwood Stingrays
It just seems like yesterday that the 2017 team photo was being taken. Were did the summer go. I know I miss seeing all those RAYsmiles around the pool. I hope you are looking forward to the 2018 summer as much as I am. Ironically, it will be here before you know it. I again want to thank every swimmer, coach and parent that made the 2017 SWSR season RAYawesome. Anyone that missed the Year End Party there are Year End gifts for each swimmer, ribbons, metals, and awards. Feel free to stop by the Carbaugh residence and receives your swimmers items.
Below and attached is some information of some swimming options thru the fall and spring. These are only some options that you could consider and information that was forwarded to me to distribute to the SWSR team. Feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss further.

My name is Margaret Mason and I am the President of Farragut Middle School Swim/Dive Team. FMS Swim/Dive Team has reorganized our entire program this year and are ready to roll out our program to Middle School-aged kids in the Farragut area.
I wanted to reach out to you, not only becuase of your children's involvement last year in the program, but also your connection to Sugarwood to help us spread the love for swimming and diving in the Farragut area.
FMS is open to any swimmer (or diver) in 6, 7 or 8th grade in the Farragut area that attend FMS as well as the homeschool community.
We are holding a parent/swimmer-diver informational meeting Thursday, September 7 @ 6:30PM at FMS Cafeteria to go over our new program. We highly encourage anyone interested in the program to meet our new coaches and hear what we have planned for the upcoming season.
Additional information and registration can be found on our website at:

Please feel free to pass this along to anyone you feel may be interested in swimming or diving for FMS Swim/Dive Team.
Thank you!

ACAC SWIMMING
Hello Summer League Parents and Affiliates,
If you are receiving this email, we had at least one family representing your various summer teams approach our bench at SMI and/or GKAISA to show interest in possibly swimming with our club team this fall.
There have been a few changes to our practice schedule that should allow more time for many to get to practice much easier than before, so I wanted to make sure everyone who may be interested in swimming with ACAC this fall was updated.
All of our updates and fee information are on the attached/updated flyer. If you would kindly forward this email to anyone on your team who may be interested in competing with ACAC, we would be very grateful! Thank You.

RIPTIDES SWIM TEAM
Hello SWST Parents,
Congratulations on another successful summer swim season! Did your swimmer enjoy summer swim team? Would they like to improve their skills over the fall-spring?
My name is Kim Wiebe, and I am a former SWST mom of three. I am a Red Cross Certified Swim Instructor with 25 years teaching experience, Division 1 collegiate competitive Swimmer at Miami University, and Olympic Trial Qualifier.
What separates good, better, and great competitive swimmers? TECHNIQUE! I am so excited to be starting back with our Riptides Winter Swim Team in September! We are a low-key small team designed to serve summer swim team kids who want to improve their skills over the fall-spring, or kids who would like to be prepared to join a summer team for the first time. All groups run monthly so you can join us all fall-spring, take a few months off, or join us when your schedule permits.
Riptides competitive swim team groups: These groups are designed to work on all four competitive strokes: Butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle stroke technique for maximum efficiency and to eliminate those frustrating disqualifications. We also focus on the details of the race that make a big difference in times: breaststroke pull-downs, flip turns, open turns, individual starts, breakouts, relay starts, and strong finishes. These hour long groups run monthly (4 weeks each) September through May, approximate ages 7-17.
Tuesdays and Thursdays starting Tuesday September 5 and Thursday September 7, 5:00-6:00 pm for younger swimmers, possibly adding 6:00-7:00 for older swimmers, depending on number of sign ups. $80.00 per month per child for 1 class a week, $60.00 per month for second class. Siblings pay half price of above.
Riptides Pre-competitive Swim team groups � Half-hour groups for kids who have never done swim team before but want to prepare for it. We work on learning all four competitive strokes, starts, and finishes. Must be able to swim 1 length of pool. Approximate ages 5 and up. Tuesdays and Thursdays 4:30-5:00. $60.00 per month per child for 1 class a week, $45.00 per month for second class.
Riptides swim meet (optional) opportunity for all groups, at UT April 2018. See http://riptides.swim-team.us for more info and pictures from last year�s meet.
Location: Tellico Village Wellness Center, 200 Dohi Drive, Loudon, 37774. It is a 15 minute drive from Lenoir City, 25 min drive from Farragut. Anyone who has been to the TVWC has fallen in love with it! It has a 6 lane under used competitive indoor pool with 6 starting blocks. Right off the pool is an outdoor space with tables and chairs with a beautiful view of the mountains. It has an outdoor paved walking trail for parents and siblings to enjoy while your swimmer is training. No membership required.
See loaction on Google maps:
I also teach private and semi-private lessons for children and adults of all ages, customized to meet your needs, including very beginner, water safety, competitive strokes, diving, swimming efficiency for lap swimming, triathlon training, and personal water workouts for weight loss or rehab. $120.00 per set of 4 private half hour lessons to fit your schedule. $90.00 per person for four half hour semi-private lessons.
To sign up:
1. Please email me your child's name, age, and which days and times they would like to swim.
2. Your cell numbers and email addresses.
3. I'd love to hear how they did this summer or any other info.
