Penguins,

Time Trials this Friday:

Time trials are on Friday the 2nd.   Everyone please come at 7am.   The goal is to get swimmers time on all events.  Then when heating in the real swim meet on Saturday June 10th they are heated properly.   This is not required but highly encouraged.  We also get to play with the new starting buzzer thingy.

Time Trial Volunteers:

I need 4 more volunteers to help with this on Friday.   We will probably assign a unique number to all kids present.   Then we will have them swim each event.  Using a stop watch (not our cool new timing equipment yet), we will record the number and time.  Little post processing and we can get the times into the system.

Practice Note from the Coach:

As of right now, we are averaging 10 - 15 swimmers per lane at the 7 am practice, whereas we have about 5 swimmers per lane in the 8 am practice. If you have a swimmer 10 & Under or a new swimmer to swim team, and you are able to bring them to the 8 am practice instead of the 7 am practice, we have more ability to give them better technique instruction that will hopefully create a better experience. This will be especially important this first couple of weeks as we build up our strokes. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to Coach Erin.

Older kid support for the 8am practice:

Additionally, if you have swimmers who are 11 & Up who would be willing to stay for the 8 am practice, we have some younger swimmers who could use some additional in the water support and encouragement. Please have your interested swimmer come speak with Coach Erin at practice.

First Swim Meet:

Our first Swim Meet will in on June 10th and we will be hosting Maple Hills.   The plan is to open the sign up for swimmers and volunteers on Sunday June 4th if all goes to plan.  I am sure there will be another mass email when this opens up.

Thanks everyone,

Bryan, Erin, Chloe, Reagan
