Welcome to Week Two of Welch Swim Team!
Practice Notes:
Your kids did a super-terrific job of following directions and being flexible with everyone learning what practice looks like! Thank you!
- Hair Ties and Caps: If your swimmers have hair that covers their eyes, please pull it back in a secure hair tie or wear a cap. It makes a big difference when they practice!
- Rain or Thunder/Lightning: Swimmers love water, and swimming in the rain is a treat! But we do clear the pool when we hear thunder and/or see lightning. If this would ever happen during practice, a Remind will be sent out with updated practice information!
