Happy Sunday Stingray’s 

Hopefully everyone had a great time at the meet yesterday! Please see attached meet results. 

Declaration closes on Tuesday at 9pm. Please be sure to declare your swimmer even if you will not be attending the meet. 

IMPORTANT CONCESSIONS INFO FOR NEXT MEET: As you all know we are extremely spoiled by our concessions team. They always do a fantastic job feeding us and keeping us hydrated. Towne Lake is not one of those venues. Their concessions in the past will run out of food and they would not provide drinks for people to buy. So just to be safe please plan to bring your own food and drinks to this meet just in case. I will be sending another reminder out about this on Thursday. 

PRACTICE TIMES CHANGE THIS WEEK!! 

Evening practices will be Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 5-6 for any swimmer that can not make the morning practices. 

Please note: There is no evening practice on Fridays. If you cannot make the morning practice times please be sure to let Coach Emily know by emailing her at [email protected]. She needs to know who will be at evening practices only. If for some reason one day you cannot make a morning practice and need to go to an evening practice she still needs to be notified.

COACHES CORNER 

We had another meet full of hard competition, we showed up and swam our best! Overall, yesterday's meet was a success! Every group showed incredible growth; less DQs, more 11 and ups did flip turns in backstroke and free, dives are looking good, and more swimmers are remembering the little things that make big differences! I am proud of these changes, and the incredible effort our Stingrays put in during practices! 

We will continue to work on the little things: streamlining off walls, strong break outs, underwater kicks, turns, and continue to work on our common DQs in the 7-12 age groups this week. Please remember this is the first week of morning practices, with make ups on Tuesday and Thursday. If neither of these work for you, please email me at [email protected]. 

You may have noticed 3 posters at the entrance of the pool last week. These are posters representing our Invitational Qualifiers! We have 2 post season invitational meets (Red, White, and Blue, and Ponderosa), and 1 mid-season invitational (Pentathalon). Once a swimmer makes the qualifying cut, they are invited to sign the poster they qualified for! I have a list available at practice to check if your swimmer has qualified. 

Congratulations to our swimmers of the week! 

Norah Wiseman, James Verhelst, Eliza Lightfoot, Gavin Moreno, Emma Loynes, Ellis Hankla, Celia Wuzzager, Henry Martin, Taylor Griffith, Declan Ritts, Kingston Brewer, and Abby Conger. 

Caps will be in your family folder if your swimmer was not at practice Friday. 

See you at the Pool!
