Good afternoon, Torpedo Family!
Practices will be starting soon, and everyone is itching to find out practice times! So far we have about 25 swimmers registered, so we need your help recruiting more to participate!
Per usual, we will have a week of afternoon practices starting at 3:30pm and ending at 5pm during the last week of May. On Monday June 2, we will be shifting to practices divided by age groups with our younger swimmers starting Monday night and our older swimmers beginning Tuesday.
May 27-May 30:
Ages 11 and Up: 3:30pm-4:30pm
Ages 10 and Under: 4:30pm-5:00pm
Please
have swimmers changed and on deck with a kick board at the start time
of practice. These are somewhat abbreviated practices and every bit of
time is important.
June 3- July 24:
Ages 9-10; 11-12: 8am-9am Tues.-Fri.
Ages 13-14; 15-18: 9am-10am Tues.-Fri.
Ages 8 and Under: 5:00pm-5:45pm Mon., Tues., Thurs.
We will again be doing an optional practice for our older
swimmers the same evenings and times we have our 8 and under practices.
If older swimmers can't make that particular morning practice, then
there will be a somewhat shortened practice available in the evenings.
Ideally though, we want to see everyone at the practices at the properly
scheduled times with their teammates.
Make Up Age 9-18: 5:00-5:45pm Mon., Tues., Thurs.
These make up practices may run a little longer, but we will most likely wrap up by 5:45pm.
Coaches:
This year we are excited to have several new coaches who have been with us as swimmers (and a parent, too) to assist with the season. A few of our veteran coaches will be back, as well! Coach Andersen will be helping out primarily with the swimmers in the evening, but will be spending time with all of our swimmers throughout all of the age groups.
Please don't hesitate to reach out with any
questions. If you haven't joined our Remind class, please do! The class
code is @valdese, and you'll want to be certain you are using the app instead of just text messaging.
This is going to be a great summer!
