Howdy Tsunami Families!

We have a few updates this week so please be sure to read the entire email...

Bryan Swim Meet

Our meet against Bryan is THIS weekend at the Bryan Aquatic Center. I should have everyone updated on their Time Trial times (IF they have done them). 

Entries for the Bryan Meet are due by NOON TOMORROW! (Noon on Thursday 5/9)

We have to merge the meet by 6pm on Thursday. 

Please be sure to mark your swimmer accordingly for Relay availability as well. Those are assigned by the computer. If your swimmer does not want to swim in a relay please mark NO RELAYS. If your swimmer has to leave early mark them as LEAVING EARLY NO RELAYS. 

I will send out the schedule for the Bryan Meet on Friday. 

Practices

We are starting to get our groove with practices. Please try to have your swimmer here on time. It takes the Coach who is doing check in away from practice if they have to stop to check in a swimmer who is running late. Please remind your swimmer to get their equipment and check in before going to their lane. Sometimes we adjust the lane assignments & your swimmer will not know this unless they check in. 

I have received a lot of requests for practice changes. Please know we will always do our best to get the swimmers in the water even if they come during an "off time" for their schedule. I may not be able to respond to ALL the email requests for exceptions that I get each day. 

I know many of you have received emails with the Frequently Asked Questions (also new parent info & volunteer job descriptions) but I wanted to send the link again. Please look over it. I promise a lot of questions are answered here.

Practice expectations. We expect swimmers who WANT to be at practice. This Swim Team is not about begging or forcing swimmers into the water. We are about coaching & improving strokes. We need the swimmers to be able to listen & follow instructions independently. When we struggle with listening the swimmers lose out on valuable pool and coaching time. Our practice time is limited, we want ALL of our swimmers to get the most out of it. 

OFFICIALS

If you have not yet completed your Background Check or met with me to get that done we need to do that ASAP! Please email me with a time to complete it if you would like to do that through the City of CS. If you would like to do that on your own, please get that taken care of.

Also, if you have not yet reset your account please do so. 

As always, if you have any questions please let me know.

See you at the pool!

Coach Michelle
