No Practice Monday for Memorial Day, Apparel is Ready to Order, and Team Rules/Guidelines

Happy Memorial Day Weekend Country Club Swim and Dive, 

Intro/ No Practice Monday.

We had a great second week of practice, getting in some good swim sets, working on our diving fundamentals, and continuing to develop dryland routines. It was great to see more of our returning athletes this last week as well as meet some newcomers to our team. We will continue afternoon practices this upcoming week, Tuesday-Friday. Enjoy your Memorial Day, we will not have practice on Monday. 

Apparel is Ready to Order

The order forms and sizing kit are now available. We have a sizing kit for sweats and shirts available at the club during practice to try on sizes. Parents must be present with their kids to try on clothing. Please be sure to return all items to the sizing kit box. Order forms will be available at the club, attached here, or on the blog under the "suits, caps, and apparel" tab. Be sure to factor the tax into your order at the bottom of the form. Caps can also be purchased on the same form or throughout the summer when they arrive at the club. Green Speedo bags can be purchased at Pool n Patio, please see me if you are interested in getting those stitched with our logo and a name. 

Team Rules and Guidelines

Friendly reminder that ALL swimmers and divers must be ABLE to swim to be on the team. While we are happy to work with swimmers who can not swim the entire length of the pool, swimmers and divers must be able to swim a minimum of 10 yards before they can join the team. This is for the safety of all swimmers. The Country Club has a great swim lesson program for any swimmers who are still learning how to swim. See one of the coaches for more information about swim lessons. 

Also wanted to remind everyone of our two team rules. 1. Respect 2. Have Fun. Respect to us means listening (above water) to coaches, staff, volunteers, and keeping the facilities we work with this summer clean. We will work on a three strike policy where upon the first instance of inappropriate behavior the child will be verbally warned, the second warning is a five minute sit out period, and the third strike is being asked to leave practice for the day. 

Lastly while we are happy to have parents and siblings watch practice, we must keep the border of the pool (gutters and three feet around pool) clear for coaches.  Also only swim and dive team members are allowed in the pool during practice, no siblings or friends are allowed in the shallow end during practice. 

This is for the safety and well being of all our athletes and coaches. 

We are very excited about the team this summer and getting to work with this wonderful group of kids. Please do not hesitate to ask any question or concerns. 

Best, 

Justin

Hello SLCC Swim and Dive, 

What happened to all that great Spring weather we were enjoying!

Sorry for any inconvenience. Plan on swimming and diving in the water Monday! Please continue to bring dryland workout attire and a water bottle as we will continue to do dryland before we swim and dive.

If the pool is ready to swim on friday, May 15th, I will send out another email. Practices will begin at their regularly scheduled time but be shorter, see below for practice times. Please have your athletes wear "gym class" clothing and bring a water bottle. We appreciate your understanding. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
