OG Families -

Here is your Sunday Swim Set up!

NEW THIS WEEK:

• Printable calendars for May and June are attached
• Swimsuit ordering update below
• Meet Declaration - now available!
• Parent meeting is at 5pm May 13

SWIMSUITS:

We've gotten a few questions this week about ordering swimsuits for the season. You can find swimsuit ordering information on our website. We are using the same suit as last year so only new swimmers and those needing a different size need to purchase.

**Note - TYR is out of stock in some of the smaller sizes. We will alert you when they are back in stock so that you can order. This should happen by the end of the month so that suits can be ordered prior to our first meet on June 3rd.

MEET DECLARATION:

You can begin “declaring” your swimmers attendance at the meets now! If you already know your schedule please go into each meet and declare if you athlete can or cannot attend that meet.

Instructions: Go to Meet Calendar and Job Sign up > For each meet, click on "Meet Entry" > Then click on "Edit" > Use the drop down for each child to choose Attending or Not attending >Select "Save" (You will need to return to the Swim Meets page to do this for each meet.)

**May 13 ~ Afternoon practice schedule begins!
**On this day, we ask that parents make every effort to attend the parent meeting at 5pm for a brief opening meeting and coach introductions.

May 13 to June 7 – Afternoon practice begins Monday - Friday

• 4:15 - 5:00 - 6 & under (ONLY M/W/F for Shrimpers)
• 5:00 - 6:00 OR 6:00 - 7:00 - 7 to 18 year olds**

** New this year - we want to try a flexible practice model for families to pick what works best for your schedule. We will try this and adjust if needed.

**May 30 ~ TIME TRIALS!!!!!

This will take place during normal practice times.  We need to get seed times for our meets beginning next week and start to put together relays. To do this we need to see each child swim each stroke and get a time for them. Please make every effort to have your child here for practice as this day as it is difficult to do make ups.

We will need some parent volunteers to help with timing on this day.

**Also May 30 ~ Swim evaluations (8 & under)

During the time trial, we will check that 8 & under can swim a lap unassisted before they can continue to practice. Even returning 8 and under swimmers. We are not looking for great technique, but the will to do it and complete it! Please make every effort to have your child at practice this day. If for some reason a child is unable to make a lap unassisted, they may continue with practice on this day but will be unable to return unless they are able to complete the lap. OG is open to swimmers of all abilities, but it is not a learn-to-swim program. Our focus is on swimmer development and we cannot do that when we must divert our attention to swimmer safety.

Our coaches will be available for private lessons and at the point where your child can swim a lap unassisted, he/she will be welcomed back onto the swim team!
