Good morning!

  • – Individual entries (max 3) for ATTENDING swimmers are also due by 2:00PM this Saturday prior to the swim meet.

Additionally, Marissa plans to send a final swim entry and/or heat sheet to swim families on meet day due to the SwimminglyFan app not working on Android devices.

Thank you to all the volunteers that assisted with last night’s meet, it wouldn’t have happened without you. For the next meet there are a few slots still available so please sign up NOW. Swim Meets: June 27, 2023 Swim Meet @ ERRA (signupgenius.com)

Congratulations to Leana Surratt for being the winner for the 2023 Annual T-Shirt Design winner. Order your annual team shirt today – this is the shirt with swimmer/coaches names on the back. https://jmu.questionpro.com/t/AQx9BZys3y

As a reminder, we as a team must inspect all the bathrooms and tidy areas in need of cleaning after morning practices. PLEASE make sure to talk with your children about making sure they pick up any small pieces of toilet paper they may drop while using the bathroom, flushing the toilets, and that they inform you of any mishaps. We had a situation yesterday where a swimmer did not make it to the bathroom and clearly had a stomach issue and the volunteers that went to check/clean found it. First, if your child is having stomach issues or isn’t feeling well, do not bring them to practice. In this case, the pathogen body fluid could have caused the pool to shut down for the day. Second, I don’t think anyone ever wants to clean up someone else’s child’s body fluids.
