Practice Starts today!

Dear folks,

Today's the day! Practice will start at 6 pm for 10 & unders and 7 pm for 11 & ups. We will practice Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. As usual, Friday there will be no practice.

Please make sure to find the team notebook. We will assume that you and your swimmer(s) will be at all the meets unless indicated otherwise on the sign out sheet for that meet. Even if you call or email one of the league reps or the coaches, please also put the information in writing in the notebook including absences for the City Meet (Saturday, July 23rd).

Parents are an integral part of what makes the swim meets work for all the swimmers. Many thanks to Camille Gamble for masterminding the concessions operation and Tracy Word for coordinating work
crew at the meets. Please find your place on deck, at the scoring table, or behind the concessions stand or grill, wherever you feel most comfortable. If everyone pitches in, usually we only need to work the first half or second half of the meets. Times flies especially when you, the parent, find a job and some friends that make the time enjoyable for all.

See you at practice tonight.
Swim & Have Fun!

These pictures were taken a few summers ago.... Maybe you will recognize a few swimmers.... :-)

Great Party!

I just wanted to say THANKS to Sarah and crew for such a great party on Sunday! The food was excellent and the weather cooperated for the most part (if you like cool, cloudy weather).

I'm looking forward to the start of the summer swim season! Please take note of the practice times - posted to the right. That first week we will be practicing in the evening. The first hour we will be sharing the pool with the "paying public" so we will need to be courteous to all of them. We will be doing a lot of evaluating those first couple of practices, so be patient with us!

If you ever have any questions, please email me, or catch me at practice.

See you all on May 31, June 1 and June 2 in the evening!

This Sunday, May 15th from 5 to 7 pm

The kick-off party is this Sunday from 5 to 7 pm. Swim & Tri will bring suits for you to try on plus

we'll have the forms you need to sign up for membership and swim team. League rules and Rhodes

rules require that all swim team members have to belong to the club where they swim.

Many thanks to Ebet, Celia, Barbara, Tracy & Rachel for helping pull the kick - off party together.

These items are all reimbursable! I could still use help, if someone could bring:

1. the drinks
2. the lettuce, tomato, and onion fixings.
3. the charcoal
4. the condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayo, pickles, relish)

 Also, we're trying to transition out of maintaining the email. The emails will disappear in a couple of weeks.

Just type your email into the subscription box on the blog, hit enter, and le voila! That simple.

 

Ok... hope to see you all Sunday, if not sooner!

 

Thanks,
