Good evening,
Coach Sam here. The first two days of practice have been highly successful. I think the swimmers who have participated have learned a lot, as have our coaches. I wanted to touch of a few things quick before we get to the intrasquad meet.
First, practice start times are posted and showing up on time is expected. I understand that this is our first week, and moving forward there may be some conflicts, but I want everyone to show up on time as much as possible. Showing up on time is important for our practices to run smoothly and efficiently. I have held off the start of practice the past two days and will do so the rest of this week, but starting on Monday, practices will begin when planned.
Second, please get your paperwork in. We need concussion forms completed before your child practices. We have not had copies of the GKAISA Registration forms at our practices but should from here on out. Please work on completing those as well.
Third, Please join us this Thursday, May 28th at 7PM for information and to sign up for our Master's swimming program!!! The program will begin Monday, June 1st, at 7pm! If you are an adult who is interested in being a part of organized practices with other adults and gain the health benefits of high intensity cardio/low joint impact, an experienced in triathlete, former swimmer, newcomer to the sport, or want to test out swimming to see if you can beat your child, this program is for you. We will offer a mix of both technique and cardio work. Practices will be held MW 7-8pm and T/TH 7:30-8:30am.
AND NOW, the intrasquad meet information.

Thank you all for all that you have done!
Sam Davy
