Week 4 Newsletter

(1) STROKE CLINIC. We have not had a huge response for the stroke clinic offer. This is something that could help your swimmer tremendously in the water. Please e-mail richardson.rapids@hotmail.com if you are interested so we can get an unofficial roster started. If at least 4-6 swimmers are not interested, the clinic will not make.

(2) LEVEL 4. Remember to bring tennis shoes on Wednesday morning for dry land workout. We will begin at 6:45 AM.

(3) LAP-A-THON. We had a great turn out for our third annual lap-a-thon and raised a lot of money!! The coaches were really impressed by how many sponsorships your swimmers got. If you have not turned in your money yet, please do so by the end of the week. You can turn it into the box or give it to our treasurer (Bruce Dillow) at practice.

(4) VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! We are extremely low on volunteers to help us run a successful meet this weekend. Meets do not run themselves; it takes a collective effort by the whole team, swimmers and parents alike. Swimmers: there is no reason why you can’t be a time keeper or runner for the afternoon session. Parents: please help us by picking up any slack & don’t be surprised if we ask you to do a job J. By volunteering, the coaches can focus on coaching your swimmers!! The more help we have, the less stressful it is on everyone. Sign-up is located in a binder by the box. If you have any questions about a specific duty, ask a coach or team parent at practice.

(5) RICHARDSON MEET ENTRIES are due to the box by WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25^th @ 9AM. There are only two more opportunities for you to get your meets in for Lonestar. You cannot go to Lonestar if you have not attended at least 2 meets; you cannot compete at League Champs if you do not attend this meet. There should really be no excuse as to why you are not at this meet (short of a family emergency or planned vacation). Let’s represent our team well and sign up for the meet! Returning swimmers, you must have at least 3 meets…we are keeping track! The reason we require this of you is because you have chosen to come back to your team, which means commitment becomes an expectation of you.

(6) CAPS should hopefully be in by Wednesday but no later than Friday. We are very sorry for the delay.

(7) BOARD MEETING. If you are interested in attending our parent board meeting, please e-mail richardson.rapids@hotmail.com so we can accommodate seating. The board meeting is currently set for this Wednesday night @ 7pm. We will mainly be discussing our meet this weekend.

(8) MEET SET-UP. If you would like to help the parent board set up the pool for the meet, come this Friday @ 7pm. Bring the family, let the kids play in the pool. Plus, you can reserve a spot by setting up your tent or chairs.
