This Week

Happy Memorial Day! I hope you all are enjoying your day off of school. Just a reminder, there is NO practice today, and tomorrow there is ONLY practice for upper division from 6:30-8pm. There will be no practice for the lower division tomorrow.

Sign-ups for Saturday’s meet will be up soon; make sure to sign up by Thursday at 5pm at the latest. Also, if you haven’t signed up for a buddy yet and want one, make sure to sign up so I can let everyone know who their buddies are on Wednesday! See you all for our first intrasquad meet!

New officials training

The Gators could use another official.
Training is on Thursday May 29th at Applewood Knolls – dry lecture 6pm, in water demonstrations around 7pm.

Practice Cancelled

Hi Gators! The weather is looking pretty bad right now, and there is some lightning. It’s looking like it might be like this for the rest of the afternoon, so we will not be swimming today. I will see everyone tomorrow for more stroke work! If you did not sign up for the intrasquad meet with me yesterday, think about what you want to swim and I will bring the sign ups again tomorrow. I’m sorry for the late notice! I was hoping the weather would clear up by now. See you tomorrow!

Buddies

I have also gotten a lot of feedback from the swimmers that having Big/Little Buddies this summer would be fun. Buddies could cheer each other on at meets, leave good luck notes in each others’ folders at the pool, and maybe leave some treats or small prizes in each others’ folders before meets. This is a great way for our Upper Division swimmers to get to know our younger swimmers and to show our team spirit at meets! In my experience, swimmers have really enjoyed it.

If you are interested in having a Big or Little Buddy this season, please sign up on the attached google doc and I will let you know who your buddy is once I have enough names. You can also email me with any questions at jaimiestevens27@gmail.com.
