Hello Sea Raiders!

 Last week was a wonderful start to the season (even with a few hiccups in the schedule). It was great to see returning and new faces on the pool deck. We continue this week with evening practices Monday-Wednesday 4-5:30pm. 

Practice Schedule:

1. Monday-Wednesday: 4-5:30pm

2. Thursday- NO PRACTICE- pool open to the public 12:20-8pm

3. Friday- MORNING PRACTICE 7:30-9am

Parent Meeting- Monday, June 23rd 5pm

I know it will be hot tomorrow, so we'll make it a brief meeting. We suggest at least one representative per family attend the parent meeting. Coach Mary will go over the season, parent and family expectations, important dates and registration.

If you have not yet PAID and/or registered; there will be a registration booth open AFTER the parent meeting. Sea Raiders can except check or Venmo if you have already registered and only need to pay. If you have NOT registered, please do so online. The league needs our final team count by June 30th!

Ice Cream Social- Monday, June 23rd 5:30

We will kick our season off after the parent meeting with an ice cream social. This is a great way for new swimmers to meet returning teammates and families to mingle. As you will soon learn, swimming is a very special sport- it is one of the ONLY sports that involves the entire family at one time. Our Group 4 swimmers will be serving up ice cream donated by our local Stewarts Shop!

Looking Ahead

Wednesday, July 2nd: Mock Swim Meet during practice followed by team bonding! This will be a great practice for new swimmers to attend and see how a swim meet works. We will be sending out sign ups so we can place swimmers in a "race" to give them practice before our first meet.

Friday, July 4th: YES, we have practice!! This is one of our most fun events! Dress up in RED, WHITE and BLUE. Coach the coaches, swim some laps, play some games, and see what our "Song of the Summer" will be!

Saturday, July 5th: AWAY meet at Hyde Park Swim and Tennis Club. More details to follow at the parent meeting.

We'll see you tomorrow at practice. Feel free to stay after practice and the ice cream social to participate in the community swim event hosted by the Red Hook Pool from 5:30-8pm. Members are FREE!! Non members $5 a person or $20 max per family!

Swimmingly,

Coach Mary
