Hello everyone! Our first day went really well today. It was great to see so many familiar faces and meet many new families as well! I was able to give many their car wash tickets today so if I did not see you and you have an older child check with them to see if they have your families tickets. As we look ahead to the rest of our first week back I just wanted to give a few reminders to our families. WEATHER: Looking ahead at the weather forecast for the remainder of the week there is rain in the forecast sometime tomorrow and the temperatures do look to be cooler the rest of the week. With the season only being 6 weeks long we really try to get practice in so if it is raining please plan for practice as they likely will be swimming in the rain at some point this season. If there is thunder/lightning or some reason practice should be cancelled Coach Sydney will be sure to notify all. This will apply to swim meets as well. Some meets we may even wait out thunder for a little in our cars or the buildings until the meet is able to resume or until it is called off. As I mentioned the temperatures the rest of the week do look not quite as warm as today so I wanted to remind everyone to be prepared. It may be a good idea for the swimmers to have two towels with them and maybe a sweatshirt/sweatpants for after practice. TIME TRIALS/ TEAM SUIT PURCHASES For our new families time trials are like a practice meet to give swimmers and coaches a starting time for the different events and to help them see where they can work to improve over the season. It also gives new swimmers an idea of how to line up and what the starter machine sounds like to get ready for their first meet. It is exciting for them to get the feel of what a race will feel like! This Friday we will be holding time trials and Personal Best will be there with our team suits to purchase along with other swim equipment needs such as goggles and caps. -Swimmers ages 11-12, 13-14, and 15+ should come at 7:30am to get ready and lined up to start at 8:00am. -Swimmers ages 6 and under, 7-8, and 9-10 should come by 8:30 or anytime earlier to do a suit fitting. If they are trying on suits it would be best to do so before getting wet. We are in need of volunteers to time swimmers on Friday. If you are at time trials on Friday we would greatly appreciate the help. If you don't know what to do it is super easy and we would be more then happy to show you. Once the swimmers are finished swimming they can stop by and see me at one of the tables for a soft pretzel provided by the HPPA. We do ask that all swimmers bring their own water bottles. I will send an email sometime later this week as a reminder. Looking ahead we also have the pasta party coming up this Sunday, June 27. I will be attaching a sign up genius link for all to sign up for what they would like to bring with them. We will also need volunteers to help set up, serve and help clean up afterwards. Monday, June 28 will be picture day and more info will come shortly with times. Please feel free to reach out with any questions to myself, Sharyn or Sydney. We are all excited to see the kids and families back at the pool! ⚫️🔴 GO STORM!!! 🔴⚫️ https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C044DA8AC2AA13-hatboro |
