Wahoos!

Another hot meet under our belts! Can you believe that the last regular season swim and dive meets and the awards celebration are coming up NEXT WEEK?!

Every year, we ask for contributions to give our coaches an end-of-season gift, and every year our team families are so generous. We are not able to pay our coaches nearly what they deserve, but these gifts help to show them how much we value their time and their commitment to our kids.

If you can contribute, please Venmo Heidi Thompson @Heidi-Powell-Thompson and put “Coach gift” in the notes, or you can give Heidi cash at the swim meet on Monday night, or give Becky Pritchett cash at the dive meet on this Thursday or next Tuesday.

Thank you in advance. It is really a joy to be able to hand each coach an envelope with a generous gift from the team at the awards celebration.

The team has spoken with over 70% of survey respondents saying our optional team outing on Friday, July 18 will be to Water Country USA!

For a deep discount on tickets, go to this Groupon link and scroll down to this option: Water Country USA Single Weekday Ticket. Purchasing this way is a great deal and also gives you a ticket you could use on another weekday this summer if something happens and you are not able to go on the team trip for some reason. (You can also purchase directly from the Water Country website, but it is more expensive that way.)

We know not every family can send an adult with their kid(s) due to work schedules, so start checking with friends now and put a group together or plan a carpool as needed. Every kid going needs to have an adult that is responsible for them, but it can be a friend’s parent or a babysitter, it does not have to be their own parent or guardian.

More specific times and details will be coming, but those who want to caravan to Water Country will meet in the pool parking lot in the morning on Friday, July 18 so you arrive at the park at the same time, and a midday meeting point and time in the park will be established for team members who want to meet up for ice cream or lunch.

There is no pressure to attend, this is a completely optional outing after the regular season and Champs have concluded.

Watch for emails over the coming week for details about the next meet, the awards celebration, Champs, and more.

Go Wahoos!
