Practices have started, and it was great to see such a good turnout this morning.  Hopefully, this evenings practices will also go well.

Remember: Coach Heather (and some faithful volunteers) will be at the swimmer entrance next to the pool and Lot C on Monday through Friday evenings, as well as Saturday morning this week distributing parking passes, bag tags, and team gear.  The backordered team suits have still not been delivered by NIKE.  Coach Heather will email those of you who are still waiting for your suits when they arrive.
 
Please note that coaches are requiring that each swimmer have their own pair of fins during practice.  Many of you have purchased them from Coach Heather already.  We also have a large grey equipment bin at the pool that contains several pairs of fins that you may borrow during practice. We cannot promise that your size fins will be there each time, therefore we encourage you to have your own.  If you would like to purchase fins from Coach Heather, email your shoe size and Coach Heather will bring them to practice this week. The cost is $25.   If you'd like to also order an equipment bag to hold your gear, the cost is $12.

As a reminder, parents who wish to escort younger swimmers to the locker rooms and/or pool deck must purchase a bag tag from Coach Heatehr prior to entering through the swim team entry doors.  Parents need to proceed to spectator seating for the duration of the practice times or to the bleacher area in the Recreation Pool.  Please note that parents may not stand on the pool deck in either pool during practices. The tags will cost $5 and can be purchased during the first week of practices.
