CORRECTION!!!!

The Info meeting scheduled for Friday, May 30th @ 6:30pm is being moved to Saturday, May 31st @ 6:30pm. We are running a lifeguard training that conflicts with the Friday date & time. The packet calendar has been updated and will be distributed at the meeting. Sorry for the confusion.

2008 Preliminary Information

Hello Team!

Hope the school year is winding down easy for all, but we will have to switch into swimming mode pretty fast so get ready. Here is some preliminary information for summer:

(1) REGISTRATION. Don't forget to stop by the Richardson YMCA to sign up for the 2008 Season. The cost is $135/swimmer for family members and $175/swimmer for program members. Financial assistance is always available for those who qualify so ask the front desk if you're interested in this.

(2) T-SHIRTS. The 2008 T-shirt design will be on display at the parent/swimmer information meeting on May 30th. We will have a sign-up sheet available as well. Usually the cost runs anywhere from $8-12. Youth and Adult sizes will be available.

(3) PRACTICE SCHEDULE. We realize the surrounding school districts (RISD, GISD, PISD) all get out June 4th and our season starts on June 2nd. Additionally, the Dallas YMCA Swim League have not pushed Lonestar back; this creates a conflict. But we have a solution: in order to keep our full summer of practice, we are holding evening practices the week of June 2-6 (6:30-8pm). We will begin morning practices the week of June 9th and continue our regular schedule through the end of summer. This may conflict with club schedules so if you are a year-round swimmer and cannot make these practices, just let coaches know.

(3) INFO MEETING. Still scheduled for May 30th @ 6:30pm. It will most likely be out at the pool, if the weather permits. There will be extremely valuable information given out so you will not want to miss this! Plus, you will be able to meet our new Aquatics Director and our new part-time coach for 2008!

(4) COPPELL MEET. The first meet is the weekend after most swimmers get out of school. Hard copies of the meet information packet will be available at the May 30th meeting. We will be accepting electronic entries for this one if you cannot make it to the first week of practice. Coppell entries are due June 4th.

(5) UPDATED INFO PACKET. The meet schedule has shifted around a little bit (as decided by the Swim League) and the team calender has undergone some pretty major changes. Make sure you have a Mayy 208 updated team information packet. Hard copies will be available at the May 30th meeting. You can also pick up a copy at the Y or e-mail us and request a copy.


As you can see, its all going to happen very quickly. Get excited! We look forward to seeing you on the 30th!

Thanks,
Coach Ryan & Coach Jessica
