Parent meeting information letter
April 24th
- 1. Sign up for Sportsyou. Https://sportsyou.app code is R565-WP9V. This is how we tell you about EVERYTHING. Also, the website has tons of info.
- 2. WEATHER is a huge deal when lightning is 12 miles away we pull everyone out of pool and they have to stay out for 30min after last lightening strike. We try to notify everyone in advance if practice is cancelled but sometimes the weather is hard to predict. So be patient and kind. It is ALWAYS your choice to participate so if you feel like weather is bad you can always pull your kid from pool. We swim in the rain.
- 3. REGISTER your swimmer. https://wotbswim.swimtopia.com Your swimmer cannot practice till you are registered and I will verify everyone before they get into water on Tues April 29th .
- 4. Practice time is 5:30 Show up early 5:20(But do not show up too early we have to wait for the pool area to be cleaned by lifeguards before we can enter) and be ready, hair up, swimsuit on and ready to stretch. Practice Monday - Thursday. 6:30 practice show up at 6:20.
- 5. Everyone in 1st practice and under the age of 11 has to have a parent stay in the fence the entire time of practice. This is a safety thing, please do not make me come and find you.
- 6. BAD BEHAVIOR will not be tolerated. We have many kids in the pool and your child’s head must remain above water when they are not actively swimming so they can hear instruction. If your child is having a hard time listening, they will be asked to sit out of the pool for a period of time. Please respect our process. Some behaviors have been tolerated over the years and this will not be tolerated this year. So please speak to your children about Respect for their coaches. If a question arises, please speak with head coach before or after practice. Please do not address coach during practice.
- 7. All swimmers can help with lane lines, backstroke flags, clock and equipment.
