First Day Rain and More

Good morning Torpedo!

We had a great, albeit short, practice yesterday! I was really excited to see the kind of turn out we had, especially from our younger groups. It was also fantastic to see some of our familiar faces returning, eager to get back in the pool. If this is any indication of how we'll be this year, things are looking very positive. Keep on mentioning the team to friends and family members so we can continue to grow as the summer goes on. The latest anyone can sign up in July 1, so please keep on encouraging folks to join us this year!

Once again, please make sure you are receiving text messages from our text service. If you are having difficulties, please ask myself or another coach to take a look and see if we can't figure out the issue.

Finally, be on the lookout in coming days for a Recreation department-wide fundraiser to help us get new lane lines in time for the championship meet at the end of July. We're going to need your help in passing the word along, and ANY help promoting this via facebook, twitter, or word of mouth will go far.

See you all this afternoon (hopefully minus the thunder)!

Texting Reminders!

Last year we tried out our text reminder service, and we received a lot of positive feedback from you all about it. We are going to be using it again this year. If you are still signed up from last season, you won't need to sign up again. If you are new to the team, we urge you to PLEASE sign up for this service.try out an automated text reminder service.

If you want to receive text updates about things such as practice cancellations, please text @valdese in the text body to the number (828) 475-0121. Once you have done this, you should follow the directions you receive.

Your information will be kept private from other users and will not be given away or sold to any third party. These instructions will also be posted at the pool on the VTST bulletin board.
