Good Evening Tideriders,

Hope everyone had a chance to enjoy the warmer weather this past weekend!  We do have a few updates for this upcoming week.

First, I want to thank Erin, Victoria, Andy and a few of Andys co-workers for attending the training sessions last week.  These training sessions are critical to the league and keep our kids in the water, competing with other teams.  Thank you for giving your personal time to help the Tideriders!!!

Second, we have our Time Trials scheduled for tomorrow evening.  For those new to the sport, this is where we log your swimmers' times as a benchmark for the season, and it allows us to "practice" for our first swim meet.  We will start sharp at 6pm, with the swimmers going with the coaches while Victoria and I will work with the parents on the different volunteer roles.  For official swim meets, we ask that each of you sign up for a particular role.  Once we go through the training this evening, all volunteer roles will be open for future swim meets.   We are watching the weather carefully, if in the event we cannot practice Monday night, we will postpone the Time Trials to this Tuesday night at 6pm.  We will send out a note by 3pm tomorrow to confirm.

Third, this is the week we transition to morning practices.  Monday, June 12th, is our last evening practice.  If we have to cancel Monday, due to weather, we will reschedule for Tue, June 13th @ 6pm.  After Swim Trials is completed, we will begin morning practices from 7:30-9:00am each weekday.   

Last, I wanted to say great job to the Coaches and Jr Volunteer Coaches!  They have done a great job being flexible and jumping in where needed!  Thank you to Carly, Bonnie, Sophia, Slevin and Bella for your efforts in helping the swimmers grow to feel safe, strong and confident in the water!

Sincerely,

Laura Ketterman
