Good evening, Sea Lions!

We made it through the first week of practice. Everyone did great! We know the first week is usually a little touch and go with schedules and weather. We loved seeing everyone this week and looking forward to another awesome week!

Practice Schedule for 5/19-5/23 (same as last week):

4-5pm for 11 and ups

5-6pm for 7-10s

6pm-6:30pm for 6 and unders

Practice Reminders for Parents and Swimmers:

We know how exciting and fun it is to watch our little ones learn new skills and make sure they are participating, but we do ask for parents to not come behind the blocks during active practice time. If you have any questions, please find Tami or Ashley!

All swimmers need to wear/bring the following to practice:

-tennis shoes and socks (for any dry land activities the coaches have planned)

-swim suit and goggles

-towel

-water bottle (we want to make sure swimmers stay hydrated!)

Just a reminder that the pool is still not open for swimming yet during the week, with the exception of swim team practice times. Parents/siblings are allowed on the pool deck, but only the swim team is allowed in the water until the pool opens for members. When swim team practices are over at 6:30pm all families must leave the pool deck. 

Birth Certificates - New Swimmers Only:

The deadline to submit a copy of each swimmer's birth certificate is June 7th. A birth certificate must be submitted before a swimmer can swim in a swim meet. Our first swim meet is June 10th. You can turn in a copy of your swimmer's certificate to Tami or Ashley during practice, Time Trials on June 3rd, or Make-Up Time Trials on June 7th.

Swimsuits:

Our team swimsuits are available at Kiefer Aquatics. Just tell them you are with Scottish Hills, and they will know which suit is for us!

Upcoming Swim Team Events:

Monday, June 2nd @ 6:30pm: First Pasta Pump-up (Signups to follow soon!)

Saturday, June 14th @ 8:30am: Sea Lion Olympics (Signups to follow soon!)

Pasta Pump-Up Info:

Pasta Pump-Up is a potluck event we will have every Monday night before a meet, starting June 2nd, throughout the season. This is a fun way to commune together and get pumped up for the upcoming meet. Everyone can use the sign-up link provided soon to bring a dish (main, side, or dessert) to share, one large enough that it would feed your family. Main dishes are not limited to pasta. We will set all the food up under the covered deck area at the back of the pool. We'll eat around 6:30pm (after the 6 and under practice). Dinner usually wraps up about 7:15 in time for the swimmers to play some games in the back field or pool with the coaches. Come on out and join the fun!

Sea Lion Olympics info:

This year we are kicking off our morning practices on Saturday, June 14th with Sea Lion Olympics from 8:30am - 10am. It's not mandatory, but the kids have a ton of fun playing! Sign-up will be provided soon to participate and also, we need parent volunteers to help with the games. 

Looking forward to warmth and sunshine this week!

Arf! Arf!
