Barracuda Update - Practice and Volunteering
Happy start of Barracuda Season! It's very exciting that our season kicks off this week and we cannot wait to see all our swimmers in the pool. Just a couple of updates to get us sorted out for this week.
1) Practice Update - Our pool is ready and we will begin practice Wednesday 5/15 with our normal PM practice schedule. We are excited that we do not need to utilize the YMCA as a contingency and that our families will not need to travel for practice this week. As our pool is available we will hold practice Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday this week.
6&Under - 4:30-5:00pm
7&8 -5:00-5:30pm
9&10 - 5:30-6:10pm
11-18 - 6:10-7:10pm
2)Volunteer shifts for Meets - When we opened registration we asked for families to sign up for 5 volunteer shifts to help with meet needs. It takes a ton of work to run a swim meet and we cannot leave shifts unfilled. With that said we are lower than previous years on registration which has left us with spots to fill. We are asking all families to take on ONE additional shift to cover our volunteer shortage. If you have signed up for a shift and know you cannot make it to that meet, please adjust your volunteer shifts now.
3)Meet Sign-up - With our first meet (6/3) just around the corner I have opened all meets up for sign-up. Please declare your swimmers now for our 7 meets this season. If you can't make them all it is not a problem, we do ask though that you attempt to make at least half of the meets.
4)Concession Donations - As we have in the past we will be asking for donations of either food/candy items or monetary to stock our concession stand. Please be on the lookout for a communication with Sign-Up information.
Finally, thank you all again for your patience and flexibility as we've worked through the challenges to get this season going! The water will undoubtedly be chilly as it hasn't had much opportunity to warm-up so bring an extra towel or sweatshirt for after practice!
