PARENT RELAY: Thank you to our Waves parents who stepped up last week (Lane Hammack, Katie Connolly, Maureen Kehoe, Elena Venuti, Brad Venuti, Rich Palumbo, Tristan Brown, Tyler Story) to swim in a parent relay! It was so much fun! Windsor Oaks has 3 teams of parents to swim a 4x50 free relay. Since there are only 2 lanes left for us, we can have 2 teams (moms and dads). Please let me know who would like to swim tomorrow night in the event 46B???

GRADUATING SENIORS: We will be recognizing 2 graduating seniors from our team (Ian Radley and Sam Quiroz) after event 46B. Please help us cheer them on during senior swim.

2. Unruly, disruptive or unsafe conduct may be cause for removal from the fenced pool area.

We would like to remind all parents to exhibit good sportsmanship toward coaches, fellow teammates, opposing swimmers and parents, and, most importantly, the referees. The Cobb Summer Swim League’s protocol to handle unsportsmanlike conduct to referees include: possibly removing parent(s) from the pool area, calling police, cancelling the meet resulting in forfeiture. Let's support our kids and let them have some swimming fun!
