Wahoos starts in 2 and a half weeks! Are you ready?
Hi everyone,
This is just a quick check in to remind you that Wahoos starts up 2 weeks from today -- May 26 aka Memorial Day! YAY! I suggest you add all the important dates/times to your calendar from the website (wilshirewahoos.swimtopia.com) or I have things copied at the end of the email for convenience. A few odds and ends...
1. Tshirts can be picked up at the 1st practice.
2. Do you have new goggles yet? If not, now is the time to get them!
3. Concessions - I am still looking for someone to head up concessions. It would be helpful if it was a returning parent and someone who is here for both the June 5 and June 12 meets. Heidi has helped me order all the candy and drinks, and she has left extensive check lists to make it manageable. If no one steps up, I'll reach out to a school club to see if they'll run it (and they'll get all the money) or we'll have no concessions at our meets.
4. A few additional dates for some optional team activities (more info in weeks to come):
*Saturday, June 7 from 10 am to 12 noon - (1st annual?) Volunteer at Bloom Our Youth (who provides support and resources for foster children in GA). Any Wahoo swimmers 13 and older can volunteer (max 15 swimmers - sign up early to make sure you get in!). Your swimmer MUST sign up through this link: https://bloomfosters.
*Friday, June 13 - 100 Lap Club 8-11 am
5. Remember that with summer swim team, it's ok to miss for other summer activities like camp, vacation, etc. There is no need to tell us each time your swimmer will miss a practice here and there. However, it's super important that you rsvp for all the meets because we definitely need to know if you'll be there or not for planning.
6. If you have an 8 or a 9 year old swimmer and it would be easier for your schedule for them to swim in the 8 am group rather than the 9 am group, please email to let me know you'd prefer that. We have more space in the 8 am group.. If your 8 or 9 year old prefers to stay at the 9 am practice, no need to contact me. Thanks!
Let me know if you have any questions. (Our website answers many questions...)
Gooooo Wahoooooos!
