Stingray Parents

Swim practice reminders, in talking with the coaches they are excited about the 2015 season and the swimmers that will be swimming for the Stingray Nation this summer.  I am grateful for every family on the team.

Since we have 21 new families and to serve as a reminder to our veteran families I need to review a few things about the Sugarwood Pool.

Please remember that the Sugarwood Stingrays RENT the usage of the pool from the Sugarwood Homeowners Association Annually.  There is an agreement in place that SWSR must follow or SWSR may LOOSE the privilege to rent the pool in the future.  The coaches are aware of particulars of the agreement so if by chance they direct your family or swimmers regarding something in or out of the pool please follow their directions.  Below are some bullet items for you to keep in mind and to train your swimmers.

1. the main pool is for swim practice thru direction of the coaches (NO swimmers in the step area of the pool).

2. the baby pool can be used by SWSR families during practice for ages 8 and under ONLY.  The intent is for families with children not already on the swim team.  NO swim team swimmers are to be in the Baby Pool.

3. If the Baby pool is being used by your child, the parent of the child MUST be in the Baby Pool gated area at all times that your child is in the baby pool area.  The coaches are NOT monitoring the baby pool area.  12" of water is enough to drown your unsupervised child.

4. NO FOOD and NO GLASS allowed inside the main entrance gate or on the pool deck.  SWSR does not have the time or resources to wash down the pool deck from food.  If you or your children happen to spill something please take the time to clean it up.  If you have food eat it outside the fenced in pool area. (Chet gets calls every year from SHA about this).

5. Do not move the tables on the pool deck.  All deck chairs and table chairs need to be back in their original locations before leaving. If you move it please put it back.

7. ALL SWSR parents and swimmers MUST leave the pool area by Noon each day.  SHA members may reenter and sign in after noon.

8. The pool area must be in original condition and ready for SHA membership usage by NOON each day.

9. All SWSR parents are hereby deputized to help police each other on the above compliance, let's be a TEAM on this.

And let's have a great ROCKIN summer!!!!!!!!!!

Currently SWSR has 157 swimmers and 84 families.  This is awesome and should help make for a fun summer as well as a strong team.  Please be patient with our coaches as they work thru the initial weeks of practice to facilitate all the different ages and skill levels of your swimmers.  Let them coach and direct your swimmers.  All the swimmers need to know is that once they come in the gate to the swimming pool the coaches are in charge. 

NOTE:  there has been some confusion on practice times and FUNfriday times(SORRY).... the coaches emailed the correct practice times, the website is correct, and the board at the pool is correct.

LASTLY:

Ask not what the stingray nation can do for you, ask what you can do for the stingray nation!!!!!!
