Week 3 Newsletter

1. TEAM T-SHIRTS & PARENT POLOS are in and being distributed at practices from Becky Kmak. The cost is $10. If you did not sign up for a shirt, we are considering making a second order. But we must have A LOT of interest in order for this to happen. Let Becky know if you are interested.
2. LEVEL 4. Remember to bring tennis shoes on Wednesday morning for dry land workout. We will begin at 6:45 AM. Don’t be late…Ryan is coaching you this week and likes to give everyone extra work for tardy people. Also, bring any extra training gear (if you have them) this week.
3. ROCKWALL MEET ENTRIES are due this WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18 @ 9AM. This is a strict deadline as we will be sending the final entry to the Rockwall team by noon. Meet packets (with map attached) are available in your boxes. Remember to be checking the blog to confirm we have your swimmers entry and to see if you are participating in a relay. There are only 3 more meet opportunities until Lonestar!!
4. LAP-A-THON/MONTHLY SOCIAL is our next big event and it is this Friday night! Be getting those sponsors...remember to hit up family, neighbors, and co-workers. This is such a fun event for the team and a valuable information session for parents. Build-Your-Own ice cream will be available to parents and swimmers after the lap-a-thon (but let’s try and keep that a secret from the swimmers). Also, stay late and play in the pool.
5. RICHARDSON SPLIT RESULTS & RIBBONS will be available in your boxes this week. We had an impressive 43 swimmers represent our team…thanks for your commitment!
6. RICHARDSON MEET. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success!! We received many compliments on hospitality and how well the meet was generally run. Also, thank you to everyone who made a donation to get the meet season started off. We made a little over $1,000 for our team this weekend alone! Get ready because we will be hosting another one in just two weeks!!
7. RIBBONS. Many of you have asked about ribbons since Coppell’s have not come in by now. We will distribute ribbons as soon as we receive them. We are not in control of how soon we get these from other YMCAs…it all depends on how on the ball they are.
