LOST & FOUND

Just a friendly reminder to check the Lost & Found bin near the sign-in this week for any items left behind. We've got quite a collection of towels and clothes that we'd love to see reunited with their owners before they start getting moldy. If you're missing anything, please swing by and have a look.

CLEAN UP

After Saturday's meet, there was quite a bit of trash and gear left behind. Before you sign your swimmer out of the tent, could you please have them quickly check for their belongings and toss any trash they see. Thanks for your help!

COACHES CORNER

Happy Sunday Stingrays!

And Happy Mother’s Day!

We’re so proud of all the hard work your kids put in each practice and it definitely showed on Saturday. We had so many time drops I lost count! On top of the massive amount of time improvements we had a lot of swimmers qualify for Summer Thunder already. Parents, please start to get an idea of your availability for this meet. We would like to bring as many swimmers as possible

This week we are going to start building endurance, and recap Breaststroke arms in our 7-10s. Breaststroke and butterfly require a ton of coordination and patience from our swimmers, DQs are very normal at this stage of the season.

This week for meet declaration, please have your swimmers choose 1 event they are confident in, and one they struggle with. I know away meets are challenging, but please remember that attendance is even more important at away meets. We had over 200 swimmers at the Northampton meet, let's bring that many to Imperial Oaks!

See you at the pool,

Coach Brian
