Hey Stingrays! 

Firstly, thank you all so much for a successful (and quick!) practice meet last night! It was definitely a good experience to have as we move into our competitive season next week and ramp up for the rest of the season. A special thank you to all our parent volunteers. Without you, these meets really could not happen.

We are moving into our first week of regular season morning practice. Here’s what you need to know!

3. MORNING PRACTICE LOCATIONS AND COACHES
For anyone that's new to the team, we use two different pools for our practices: the Jefferson Station pool and the Steeplechase pool (the one you're used to). Here are the addresses for each: 

Steeplechase Pool: 1925 Furlong Run, Lawrenceville, GA 30043
Jefferson Station Pool: 1950 Shadwell Way, Lawrenceville, GA 30043

Since we use two pools, Coach Thomas and I switch locations every week so that we are involved with all the athletes but also consistent with them throughout the week. The first week of morning practice, I will be with the younger guys (12 & under) and Thomas will be with the 13 & ups. The following week, we will switch. We have junior coaches to assist us at all practices. 

4. FUN FRIDAY (Friday, June 2)
Our Fun Friday theme this week is going to be "Crazy Sock Friday". Wear the craziest, most fun socks you can find! 

5. SEEDING
If you will not be at this Thursday's (June 1st) Meet and it is not indicated on your vacation form, the deadline to let me know is Monday, May 29th at noon.  We need to have our team seeded for the meet that day and need to make sure we're not wasting any spots in events and that relays are intact. 

6. THIS WEEK'S T.N.O. 
Our older guys and gals (13 & up, generally) have made a tradition of going out to eat after meets. This Thursday, our "Teen Night Out" is at Steak and Shake on Lawrenceville Suwanee near 120. 

7. COMMUNICATIONS
If you need to contact me for any reason or have questions, shoot me an email at [email protected] or text/call me at (678) 983-0623. Expect an email this week about our season calendar and dates for extra events we have planned for the team. 

Thank you! See you all at practice on Tuesday! 
Coach Danielle
