Good morning Torpedo Family!
I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! I know that two of our coaches had especially nice weekends as they are now officially high school graduates. Congratulations to Coach Alec and Coach Haley for their graduations from East Burke and Draughn High respectively. Please take a moment to congratulate them on their accomplishment. Alec will be attending Pfeiffer University, and Haley will be attending N.C. State.
Please pay attention to the weather today. If there is audible thunder from the pool at practice time, we may be canceling practice. Please call the pool office before coming if there are thunderstorms near your home. We will try to get practice in, but in the event of cancellation, it will be posted here on the blog.
Tomorrow marks the beginning of our new schedule. 11-12 and more novice 13-14 swimmers will practice from 7:30am-8:30am, and the advanced 13-14 and 15-18 swimmers will practice from 8:30am-9:30am. Our 8 and Unders will practice from 5pm-5:45pm, and the 9-10 group will practice from 5:45pm-6:30pm. Please have your child practice with their age group unless it has been cleared with me, Coach Andersen.
This Thursday night is our first meet of the season! We will host the McDowell Mariners. Warm-ups for the meet begin at 5pm. Please be on deck, ready to warm up at 5pm! Please do not arrive late as we only have 30 minutes to warm up.
In order for your son or daughter to swim on Thursday, you need to SIGN
UP in the VTST binder at the Fitness Desk. If you fail to sign up your
swimmer, then they will not be entered in the meet. You can also sign up
for volunteer slots, too. The sign up will be in the book this
afternoon.
We will need to have all hands on deck to pull this meet off, so parents, please plan on volunteering to time, officiate, clerk of course, etc. Our biggest need is timers, and it isn't a scary job. If you want to help out, please speak to me at practice sometime before Thursday afternoon or contact me via e-mail.
Stay dry!
