Good evening Seastars,

We appreciate everyone's patience as we navigate the first few weeks of practices.  Swimmers are able to spread out more once we begin morning practices since we will at that time have the use of the full 6 lanes.  I know some of the lanes are quite full right now and the coaches will begin to rearrange swimmers this week.  Please know that rearranging practice sizes does not happen over night and will take a few days to even out.  If a coach asks your swimmer to switch practices and the change is a large problem for your family, please contact me so we can come up with a solution that works for both you and the team.

We will start our restructure with the swimmers in the shallow step area during the 5:15 to 5:45pm practice.  If your child swims in that area during that time, please look out for an e-mail following this one (if that does not describe your child, please disregard the next e-mail since sending an e-mail to all families is faster than hand picking names). 

We have another slight change to our practice times once school is out.  In order to allow guards to clean the pool and for the pool to still open for regular use at 11am, we have had to shift our times slightly.

1st practice (typically 8 and unders) - 7:45 - 8:30am

2nd practice (typically 9 to 12 year olds) - 8:30 - 9:30am

3rd practice (typically 13 and up) - 9:30 - 10:30am

We appreciate everyone's understanding and please feel free to contact me (Jen Saunders) or another board member with questions.

Remember there is a new family meeting next Monday (6/14) at 6pm under the pavilion.  We will open the back gate so it is easy to get there.   

Sincerely,

The Pool Board
