Good evening! As we begin this weekend, please take a moment to remember the meaning of the holiday. Thank you all in the Torpedo family, whether parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings, or cousins, for your service to this country.
I want to pass along a few quick housekeeping items:
1. Tuesday will be our first day of practice for the season!
Our 11-18 year old swimmers will practice from 3:30-4:30, and our 10 and
under and 8 and under groups will practice from 4:30-5:15. Please come
prepared with goggles, a suit, and, for our older swimmers, a water
bottle.
2. There has been a slight change to our practice scheduling. Due to some
conflicts arising the mornings of June 9 and June 10, WE WILL NOT START OUR SPLIT AM/PM
SCHEDULE UNTIL MONDAY, JUNE 13.
3. We host our first meet on June 14 against Forest City, so please be sure
to sign up for the meet in our notebook as soon as you know you know
you can attend. The sign up sheets for the season will be in the
notebook at the fitness counter, and you will need to sign up for any
meets you plan to attend. IF YOU SIGN UP AND CAN'T ATTEND A MEET, PLEASE
LET THE COACHES KNOW so we can make any needed adjustments in a timely
manner.
4. The Hickory Crawdads are helping us by letting us receive a portion of the ticket sales for the June 16 game. All you need to do is pick up a voucher and turn it in when you buy a ticket for a game. This is the first of two games the Crawdads will be helping us with, and we are grateful for their help again this season.
5. June 18 is our stroke and turn clinic at Valdese. The clinic begins at
9am and should end by noon. Anyone who can attend, even if new to the team, please make an effort to attend. If you can help us out this season by volunteering as an official,
it would be a huge help to the entire team. The more officials we have
available, the easier it is for everyone. It is my hope to also be
training a few additional starters for the meets this year. This way I
can share those duties at home meets without being concerned for our
meet timelines.
6. Finally, we currently have about 70 swimmers signed up for the season. We want to encourage you all to invite friends and family members to bring to the pool and join us in the fun this summer. It is going to be a great season, so bring some folks along to join in the fun.
We are all looking forward to a great season! See you on Tuesday!
