Hi Team,

First off, thank you ALL for your flexibility these past two weeks.  It has been so great seeing the team involved and excited about swimming this season, despite the circumstances of not being able to use the pool yet.  We've enjoyed getting to know the many new swimmers on the team this year as well as seeing the warmth and enthusiasm from our returning swim families.   This extra time has allowed us all the opportunity to familiarize ourselves with one another, build a great team foundation, and have fun with one another, which I know will carry us through in many positive ways this season.

Practice update!

Our coaches, who are also lifeguards for the pool this year, have been working tirelessly getting the pool ready these past two weeks.  The hope has been that we could use the pool for afternoon practice before the memorial day weekend opening. We ran into some trouble with the heater earlier this week,  but it is my understanding, that is all fixed now. The pool is still cold currently at 70 degrees, but we are seeing great progress given the pool was a pitiful 62 degrees this past morning. 

With that said, I would like to attempt having our first practice tomorrow, Thursday May 23rd starting at 4:00pm (weather permitting).  For now, weather looks great.  Coach Eric will update me on temperature of the pool tomorrow afternoon.  If all looks good, we will resume with our intended practice times from 4:00pm-5:00pm and 5:00pm-6:00pm.  In the event the pool is still not ready, we will plan on doing a 5K fun run with the kids like last Friday. This Friday I am hoping to have a normal practice.  

Please be on the lookout tomorrow afternoon for more updates. For now, please plan on being prepared for both swimming and running tomorrow as we would love a chance to get your kids in the water if we can.  Appreciate you all!  Hoping to see you tomorrow.  

Yours Truly,

Emilie Clarke
