Hello Waves families!

This is a long email, but please read it all! 

MORNING PRACTICE
We will start our morning practices tomorrow at 9 AM:
Little Waves 9 - 9:30 AM
5/6: 9-9:45 AM
7/8: 9:45-10:30 AM
9/10 and up: 10:30 - 11:15 AM

RSVP FOR SWIM MEETS

Please make sure to RSVP for every meet in advance. Tuesday at noon we will lock the RSVP option for tomorrow's meet. We understand emergencies come up, so IF YOU HAVE TO MAKE A LAST MINUTE CHANGE AND DECIDE TO SWIM OR NOT TO SWIM, PLEASE TEXT COACH CASSIE AT 404-805-9139  by Tuesday at noon.

In order to RSVP, you have to use an email address that you specified when you registered for the team. If you have problems using the site, just let us know (by text or email). Our coaches have to make a line-up and make copies for all the meet volunteers in advance so last minute changes complicate coaches' jobs. 

The following swimmers responded NO for tomorrow's meet. If you see your swimmer's name on the list and they will be swimming tomorrow, please let us know ASAP!
OR if your swimmer is not swimming tomorrow and his/her name is not on the list, please also let us know ASAP:

VOLUNTEERING AT THE MEET
Please be reminded that at least one parent from each family of competing swimmers must volunteer at the swim meets. This is needed to ensure the meets are run smoothly and to ensure the safety of all children during the meets. This team and the swim meets are run by volunteers (coaches are the only ones being paid), so we need everyone's help! When you RSVP for the meets, you can indicate how many adults are going to attend and make a comment whether both adults can volunteer. If you enter "0" for attending adults, our volunteer coordinators will assign a job for one adult. If your kids are swimming at the meet, you must volunteer.   You cannot simply drop the kids off at the meet. 

MAY 31st MEET

Arrive at the meet at 4:30 PM. Our team sets up chairs under the deck.
Swimmers: Check in with the coaches
Parents: Check in with volunteer coordinators
Warm-ups: 5 PM
Meeting with Referee for the Meet Volunteers: 5:45 PM outside the pool gate
MEET STARTS: 6 PM
IN CASE OF INCLEMENT WEATHER: If thunder and lightning occur, all families will need to clear the deck and either go home or to their cars and watch for further instructions from the coordinators via email. We will make a decision and let you know when to return to the pool.

THE PARENT WAVE

We had a suggestion from one of the parents to do the wave before the beginning of the meet. After our swimmers do their big cheer with coach Maxwell, at approximately 5.55, let's do the wave from the shallow end around the pool toward everyone under the deck!

TEAM T-SHIRTS 

We will be distributing our new shirts tomorrow before the start of the meet.

PARENT RELAYS 

We are still looking for 2 Moms and 3 Dads to participate in a relay tomorrow at the meet!

FUN DAY 10-11 AM

Wednesday morning - NO PRACTICE. Everyone arrives at 10 AM. We will start with free swim, kids can enjoy light breakfast and Little Waves and non-competing 5/6 yo will have their races. All swimmers will also be able to get their ribbons. 

Thank you and GO WAVES!
