First Week of Practices Ahead!

Good afternoon, Torpedo Family!

This week is our first week of practices. Practices are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Please be prepared to get in to the water at the start time, not just arriving. There may be inclement weather, and I'll post on remind and the team Facebook if we have to cancel anything.

3:30pm-4:30pm: 11 and Over Swimmers

4:30pm-5:15pm: 10 and Under Swimmers

  

Graduation is this week for some Torpedo swimmers! Congrats to them! 

June 1 will be our first week of split practices. We ask that swimmers practice as much as possible with their age groups. If you need practice accommodations for whatever reason (travel, ability level), please let a coach know and we'll work with you.

Split Practice Times starting June 1 are:

Tues- Fri, 8am-9am: 9-12 year olds

Tues-Fri, 9am-10am: 13-18 year olds

Mon-Thurs, 5pm-5:45pm: 8 and Unders 

June 5 we will do something we haven't done in several years: We're going to head to the Crawdads for the 7pm game against the Kannapolis Cannonballers. I'm going to try to get shirts in hand by June 4/ Thursday night, so wear your Torpedo swag and join us for a fun night at Frans Stadium.  

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!
