Happy Saturday everyone. It was a great first week of practice, looking forward to many more in the weeks to come! 

This year we would like to set up a mentor program between our older swimmers and our younger swimmers. Coach Chas and myself had this on our swim teams growing up and really enjoyed it. This is a great way to foster team unity, get our swimmers excited for meets and encourage more involvement between our age groups. 

Since registration is now closed I have all our swimmers names and ages. I will randomly assign the swim buddy groups. Based on our numbers some swim buddies will be a group of 3 and others will be a group of 2. 

What being a swim buddy will entail is to offer encouragement to your buddies during meets and/or practices. You can bring a little goody bag or note of encouragement to give them at the meets. Try to be there to cheer them on for their events during the meets as well. 

We will have a team meeting/pizza dinner at the pool on Friday June 17th to introduce the buddies before the first meet.

Please email me at [email protected] by Wednesday June 15th if you do NOT want your child to participate in the program. If I do not receive an e-mail from you I will automatically assign your child to a group. If you have any other question about the program feel free to e-mail as well.
