IT'S FINALLY HERE! PRACTICE TIME!

Good afternoon, Torpedo family!

I hope you all are as excited as I am to start practice today!

We've had a request to push back our start time to allow for some of our older swimmers to get from school to the pool this week and next, and so we will oblige them.

Any swimmers over 11 will be from 3:30pm-4:30pm this two weeks.

Any swimmers under 10 will be from 4:30pm-5:00pm this two weeks.

We will shift to morning practices on June 12, while 8 and unders will continue to practice in the evening. I encourage you all to have some carpooling worked out in the event you need to have someone take your swimmer to practices.

Parents, if you haven't signed up for Remind, please do so. I primarily use that for communication during the season, and if you send me anything through Messenger, it may take days for me to answer as I only access it on my desktop.

MEET VOLUNTEERS:

Just to go ahead and get everyone thinking about how you can help, we will be hosting our first meet here on Saturday, June 17. We will warm up at 8am and start the meet at 9am. I will send out a SignUpGenius for you to choose how you want to help the team.

We can help with anything listed with additional training. It isn't hard, but we just need to take some time to train you a bit.

We will need the following at meets for two or possibly three shifts:

Timers (6-8, total of 24)

Head Timer (1, total 3)

Heat Winner Ribbon (1, total 3)

Starter (1, total 3 - requires some additional training)

Scoring Computer (2, total of 4 - requires some additional training)

Timing System (2, total of 4 - requires some additional training)

Stroke and Turn Officials (2, total of 4 - requires some additional training, test)
