This message brought to you by team sponsor Signs Now (Team Dad Mason Lessley)

Welcome to the 2017 Steeple Station Stingrays!  Whether you are a returning swimmer or new to our team, we are glad you are part of the team this year! We are finishing up our second week of practice and already seeing improvement as the swimmers get used to being back in the water. Swim suits were passed out starting today.  If you ordered late, the suits will be here next week.  Swimsuits and spirit wear will be given to swimmers 15 and up.  For swimmers younger than 15, the items will only be given to a parent. 

Next Thursday is our Practice Meet.  I know many of you will miss it due to the PRHS graduation but there was not another night we could fit it in.  For new families, this meet will give you a general idea of what happens at a real meet so you and your swimmer(s) will be better prepared.  This meet will begin at 6:30.  Swimmers will need to arrive at 6:00 for warm ups.  Parent job assignments will be sent out later.  One thing we need everyone to do is bring in your drink donations.  Please mark your name off the list on the back of the shed door once you bring your drinks in.  The donation list is at the end of this email.  For the practice meet, the concession stand will serve pizza, drinks and snacks only.  More items will be added for regular meets.

Like last year, we are teaming up with Village of Hope to help provide lunch items for needy children.  For our practice meet, we are asking that each family send in juice boxes.  Please put your donations in the designated bin in the concessions area. 

Our first regular meet will be Thursday, June 1st at Steeple Chase.  This will also be our team picture night.  Individual pictures will start at 3:45 with the team picture taken at 4:45.  I will have order forms and a price list at the practice meet. Detailed information on the meet will be sent later. 

Please remind your swimmers that we are at the pool to practice.  No swimmers should be on the tennis courts.  Thanks for your assistance with this.
