Howdy Tsunami Families!

I know this is a really busy week for everyone but please be sure to read this email thoroughly.

Tsunami Team Picture Day

Team Pictures will be THIS Friday (5/26) starting at 4:30pm. We are usually completely done before 5:45pm; so if you are planning to come after work please come immediately after work so you don't miss it. Memoir Photography is really great about getting everyone through quickly. We will plan to do our team photo at 5:15pm/5:30pm, he is then able to follow up with more individuals who have not had a chance to get those photos done as well. 

You can RSVP for your swimmer on the website so we have a reasonable idea of how many will be here for Tsunami Pictures. We also have order forms here at the pool if you would like to complete those in advance. 

Navasota Meet (AT Adamson)

We are Hosting Navasota this Saturday (5/27) here at Adamson Lagoon. Please remember those entries are due by 11:59pm TONIGHT. While I do not close entries until I am able to come to the office and run the relays, I do not always know exactly what time of day that will be. I have to run the relays, notify the relay swimmers, and be ready to merge the meet with the other team at 6pm on Thursday. If you have not entered your swimmer before I close the meet I cannot guarantee your swimmer a spot on a relay as that will mean the relay swimmers have already been notified. 

We still have plenty of Volunteer Jobs to be filled for this meet as well. Please sign up for those as you are able. 

Just a reminder of our Home Meet Schedule

6:45am - 7:15am Tsunami Check In

7:15am -7:45am Tsunami Team Warm Up

7:45am - 8:15am Visiting Team Warm Up

8:15am Pool Cleared for Meetings

8:30am Event #1

** Please be sure your swimmer is aware of who is being called to the Ready Bench for relays. Swimmers need to arrive at the ready bench when the number on the Ready Bench cards says the event number - NOT when that event is about to enter the water. If your swimmer waits until their event is about to enter the water they will delay the meet and that is a disqualification. 

Memorial Day

Memorial Day is MONDAY (5/29) and we will not be having practice. Memorial Day is a very busy day for our pools as this is the big opening weekend. It's also a great time to give our Coaches a little break as we've been working hard all month. Please remember...

NO PRACTICE MONDAY MAY 29th.

Summer Swim Schedule

Our Summer Swim Schedule begins on TUESDAY May 30th! Swimmers will have the opportunity to attend more practices now that we are able to spread out to 2 practice times per day. Swimmers may choose either AM or PM practices (please do NOT come twice per day) and swimmers may attend practice each day they are offered (no more M/W OR T/Th). There is no more "overflow" group - all swimmers will practice with their age group. 

Practice Times Starting May 30th

Morning: Monday - Friday

8am - 8:45am     5-8 year olds

8:45am - 9:45am     9-12 year olds

9:45am - 11:15am     13-18 year olds

Evening: Monday  - Thursday

7pm - 7:45pm     5-8 year olds

7:45pm - 8:45pm     9-12 year olds

7:45pm - 9pm     13-18 year olds

We will have MUCH more space during the morning practice sessions so if your swimmer is able it is highly encouraged for them to attend in the mornings. The evening sessions will be much more crowded as we need to combine a couple groups to get all the swimmers accommodated. 

Master's Swimming

We will have an Adult Swim Program starting June 5th from 6:30am - 8am. Swimmers can get out early if they need to get to work by 8am. This is a great opportunity to get to swim yourself and you will even be able to participate in the TAAF Region Swim Meet in July as well! 

As always, let me know if you have any questions! See you at the pool!
