Hey Stingrays! 

I hope everyone is getting as excited for the season as I am! It’s going to be another one for the books, and I can’t wait to see all my returning swimmers’ faces and welcome our new Stingrays.

As I’m sure everyone knows, practice starts tomorrow! Here is the practice schedule, which is also posted on our website (under “Team Handbook” and “Practice Schedule”: 

AFTER SCHOOL PRACTICES - MAY 8 TO MAY 24, 2017 

Monday - Thursday (No Friday Practices!)

    •    3:00-4:30 PM – 13/14 and 15 & up (swim from 3:00-4 PM /dry land from 4-4:30 PM, make sure to bring shoes)

NOTES ABOUT PRACTICE THIS WEEK:

WHAT TO BRING

• Swim suit 
• Towel(s)
• Goggles
• Cap (not mandatory, but recommended)
• Tennis shoes, running clothes, & water (for the 13&up practice)

CHILLY MAY WATER
​The weather has been very hit or miss this week, between rain and sunshine and 80's and 60's, so fingers-crossed for today's sunshine to warm the water up, but I do expect that the first few days will be relatively chilly, so please prepare accordingly with towels and a change of clothes!

COACHING SHIFT
I currently coach a year round swim team that has practices that conflict with some of our times. I have made arrangements to minimalize the Stingray practices that I miss, but the one practice I will have to miss just for the after-school practice time period will be the 11/12 age group from 5:45 - 6:30. I will have to leave right after they start to get to my job. Coach Thomas and my junior coaches will be there to run practice with my plan in hand and I have full confidence in them. 

SPIRIT WEAR & SUIT ORDER REMINDER
The last day to order Spirit Wear is tomorrow! Swim Atlanta will also be sending out their second order for the team suit if you need it, so make sure you get those order in! Tracy sent out a few emails earlier this week with the spirit wear documents and details if you need them. 
 

Thank you! Can’t wait to see you all tomorrow! 

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to shoot me an email at [email protected].
