The Coaches met as a staff this morning and have a few announcements to share:

Allergies: If your child has allergies that require the use of an epipen, please have them keep one in their swim bag. 

Goggles: It's always a good idea to have 2 pairs of goggles in their bag, in case one breaks.  We are working on finding a date that All American Swim can come to one of our practices to sell goggles, practice suits, etc.

Caps:  All swimmers with long hair should wear a swim cap to all practices/meets.  Having your hair down or in ponytails changes your head position and your breathing and makes swimming more difficult.

Swimmer Behavior:  We love the energy that the swimmers bring to the pool!  Please remind your swimmers not to rough house/run around the pool deck before and after their practices.  Coaches need to focus on the swimmers in the water and can't correct behavior of those outside the pool.

Parent spectators:  We love our parent support!  During practice time, if you are socializing with friends, we ask that you gather under the covered section or away from the lounge chairs around the edge of the pool.  We want the swimmers to focus on the coaches and be able to hear what the coaches are saying.  

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.  Thank you for your understanding and support.
