Hi all.

 

Coach David has asked that all swimmers come to the Y at 4:15 this Wednesday ( 2/3) for a photo op. A photographer from the newspaper will be there at 4:30pm. He plans to take the pics quickly and then leave...so, don't be late. Feel free to wear your team suit, if you have one. After the photo is taken, there will be a combined practice for all age groups from 4:30 to 6:30pm.

 

See you there!

Greetings Swim Moms & Dads ---

 

As you know, we are co-hosting a meet this weekend with WAC at Fort Eustis. As a meet host, one of our responsibilities is to "feed and water" the approximately 75 coaches and officials. Because we are co-hosting the meet, our swim club is only responsible for Sunday's meals and snacks. Should be a piece of cake! I'm hopeful that you would each be willing to pick something off the list below to contribute to our efforts in hospitality --- if everyone contributes, our expenses will be minimal and the meet will be more profitable for the team ---YEAH!!

 

Thank you in advance!!!

 

Julie Ross

Walker & Wyatt's Mom
