And so it begins!
Practice begins Monday afternoon, June 3rd. Younger and less experienced swimmers practice from 4 PM - 5 PM and more experienced swimmers practice from 5 PM - 6 PM. If you are not sure of your child's level, please have them swim at the 4 PM practice. Please make sure your swimmers have their suits, towels, goggles at all practices. For the first week or so, swimmers will not be allowed to swim double practices so that our coaches, Alice Perkins and Patrick Elerding, can evaluate the placement of the swimmers.
Remember that this is a parent-participation sport. All parents need to help at the meets. Please do your part and show your child that you are willing to be an integral part of the success of the team!
It's time to take the plunge! We have an urgent need for Officials this season - stroke judges make sure swimmers are doing the stroke correctly (you can start with freestyle!) and starters announce and start each race. Clinics will be June 9th and June 15. Please let an officer know ASAP that you are ready to be "official".
Other important dates:
June 10 Mock Meet and BBQ (more info to follow)
June 11 home meet vs Selah
June 13 away meet at Othello
Please feel free to contact the Board at any time with your questions or comments and we'll see you on deck at the first meet!
