Good Evening Stingrays!

Coach Mark here with a few reminders about this upcoming Time-Trials Meet. I just want to be sure that when you are selecting events, that you sign up for everything with the exception of the 100 Free and 100 IM, unless your swimmer has experience swimming these two events. If they have never swam them or are under the age of 8, please refrain from putting them in those events. If your swimmer has been on the team for more than a year and you are unsure about them attempting these events, you may ask one of the coaches at practice this week. 

We are collecting a list of swimmers that need to make-up their time-trials as they will not be able to attend the meet. These will be handled this week and next week. If at all possible, please attend the meet as it will better prepare your swimmers, and you as parents, with what to expect for meets to come. Be sure that you bring plenty of snacks, drinks, and folding chairs.

Parents, I want to add that I thank you for adhering to the no parents on deck policy during practices. This certainly helps with the coaches getting to know your swimmers, as well as the swimmers getting to know the coaches, and keeping them from getting distracted. Again, you are more than welcome to bring a chair and sit on the outside of the fence to watch the practice if you desire. 

We are starting this season off great!

Thank you Stingrays,

Coach Mark.
