Suits and Practice Date Correction

Good afternoon, Torpedo Family!

 

Thanks to everyone who came out to try on suits today.

 

I have one suit of each size left by our great sales rep if you want to try before you buy. Please reach out to me if you want to do this. I will go ahead and say, that this week is incredibly busy as we prepare for Fun Fish, and I may not have a ton of availability. Please try to give me 24 hours to get back to you about a time instead of just dropping in the office. 

 

If you want to go ahead and order a suit, go to https://reddiset.com/collections/valdese-torpedo and see suits and some other awesome apparel options.

 

Additionally, I made an error in my first post about dates. Our first practice date while school is still in is Tuesday, May 26, not Wednesday, May 27 as originally posted. Apologies for the mix up!

 

 

Some Quick Announcements!

 

Good afternoon! We've had a great response on sign ups so far, but we would love to have more folks participate. Please go to https://valdese.recdesk.com/Community/Program/Detail?programId=444 to register today! 

 

Secondly, on May 2, we'll be hosting a suit fitting for our team from 12-1:30pm. You can check out the suit options and other team items at https://reddiset.com/collections/valdese-torpedo

 

Third, we had some technical issue cause us to reschedule the lifeguard class, so the registration is back open. We will host it Mon-Wed, June 1-3. If you come work with us here at the Rec, the cost is $50. Come by the pool desk to register.

 

Finally, we're going to have a ribbon cutting on April 29 at 3pm for the new Bubble. Open swim starts at 3:30pm, and we'd love to have you there.

 

We're looking forward to a great summer! 

2026 Important Dates and Meet Schedule

Good afternoon! 

The 2026 season is fast approaching, and we have some important dates to share with everyone! We want to encourage everyone to bring a friend this year. Many of the same coaches from last year will be back, and we are excited for a fun season!

 

On top of these dates, there will be more dates to come, but I wanted to get these dates out to everyone.

IMPORTANT: In a change, the conference has changed the by-laws and rule related to conference participation. Beginning this season, swimmers need to have participated in two meets before being eligible for conference: one away meet and one home meet. So it is important to look at this schedule and see what you can attend in order to participate. Go ahead and try to get to two meets in early June so you have the rest of the season to make one up if needed due to weather or something else. Sprint/Distance counts as an away meet.
