Waverunners,

As we prepare for our second (& first official swim meet since 2019!) swim meet of the season, please remember to RSVP and sign up for a volunteer shift by tonight. We will not need as many volunteers with this being an away meet, but we want to make sure all of our shifts are covered. 

We will not be practicing on Monday, May 30th so everyone can observe and celebrate Memorial Day.

From Tuesday on, we will be holding morning practices from 7:15 AM - 12 PM on Monday - Thursday mornings. Here is the schedule as a quick reminder:

• 7:15 - 15 & Up
• 8:15 - Middle School A
• 9:15 - Middle School B
• 10:15 - 9-10 
• 11:00 - 7-8
• 11:30 - 6 & Unders

Friday Mornings we will host our optional Fun Friday celebration, where we will hand out ribbons for all swimmers who participated in the meet the night before. This year, we switched to hosting Kona Ice during Fun Friday instead of our traditional donuts. We did this for a multitude of reasons: there were always excess donuts, we wanted to build a better relationship with the Waterton HOA by allowing Kona Ice to be there for the residents as well, and it does serve as a small fundraiser for our team. As a small organization, there are a plethora of items we have to purchase throughout the year and season. Our big ticket items include things like lane ropes, blocks, starter, and storage shed. As our returning Waverunners know, we were able to purchase new lane ropes with our fundraiser from last year. Some other items on that list will need to be replaced in the future, and we will host other big fundraisers in coming seasons, but for now any little bit helps us to store up for those items without raising dues. Kona Ice, like Fun Friday, is optional and families are welcomed to bring their own food and refreshments. Please contact me, Gio De La Pena, with any additional questions or concerns you may have. My goal is to be as transparent and open as possible to allow our team to maintain a fun, safe environment.

Lastly, SwimTopia has enabled a new feature for us to be able to give the whole team access to a digital heat sheet and not just your swimmers on the mobile app! Please make sure that you have the app to be able to take advantage of this and our mobile alerts.

Please let us know if you have any questions, we are looking forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday!
