Hello Athletes and Parents!
Thanks to all the athletes who were able to attend the meeting on Wednesday. There were a lot of new faces and we are looking forward to getting started!
Great first week! Remember the practice schedule: Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs - 3:00-4:00 pm at SL Sports Complex. Monday and Wednesday are Swimming - be ready to get IN the pool at 3pm! Tuesday and Thursday are dryland - wear shorts, shirts, running shoes - meet on south side of pool. Bring a water bottle to ALL practices. Coaches must have the physical form turned in to them before you can participate. All swimmers need to be registered on registermyathlete.com.
GEAR order forms must be turned in to the East treasurer, along with payment, by THURSDAY, Sept 17th. You don't want to be left out when everyone is getting their suits and bags, and sweats! Jodie Swanson will be at practice this TUESDAY, Sept. 15th with the fit kit after practice for anyone who didn't get to try on a suit for sizing purposes.
All other forms that weren't handed in at the picnic need to be handed in to a Coach this week ASAP. All the forms can be accessed on the East Swim Blog page under the FORMS tab at the following link: eastswimteam.blogspot.com/p/participation-forms.html.
