Shark Tank Meet Success!! What a fun morning at the pool! Great swimming and cheering! Let’s Go Sharks! All the coaches are super excited for the season ahead! Let’s get ready for another great week:
Practice Notes:
- The kids did a super terrific job of following directions and being flexible with everyone learning what practice looks like. Thank you! It was an amazing 5 days of practice!!
- 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!
- Thunder/Lightning: Swimmers love water and swimming in the rain is a treat! But we do clear the pool when we hear thunder or see lightning. If this would ever happen during practice, a text would be sent out with updates.
We have normal practice times Monday-Thursday this week
- Modified Practice Times for all remaining Fridays:
- 11 and Overs: 8:00-8:45am
- 5-10 year olds: 8:50-9:40am
Meet Sign Ups:
- Sign ups will be located in front of the lifeguard house at the pool during practices.
- Please sign up by marking an “X” under the events you would like to swim next to YOUR name
- Please do not sign up friends who you think might be there — let them sign up
- Other notes about arriving late or leaving early should be sent to Coach Marion by email ([email protected]) or by replying to team text messages — replies only go to Marion!
- Remember, coaches make the final event assignments, but they try to honor preferences when possible
- If your swimmer is not listed on the meet sign up sheet it means they are not registered for the team. Please call CRPR at 814-231-3071 to confirm your swimmer is signed up for the Welch swim team. Thank you!
