Wednesday - PICTURE DAY (Starting at 4PM for everyone!!!!! Team picture at 5PM)

Thursday - TIME TRIALS! (Mandatory Practice/Normal times but timing all kids)

2. Picture Day - THIS WEDNESDAY, MAY 23RD

One of our favorite traditions of season! Per Mary Dodd's email, Family photos will begin at 4:00PM this Wednesday. There will be no swim practice following the team photo at 5:00PM. All families who are not able to take their photos before the team photo will have the opportunity to take photos after the team photo is finished. We will also have our team photographer, Roxanne Ponds, taking casual candid and posed shots around the pool deck. Remind kids to wear their TEAM SUIT or TEAM T-SHIRT for the photos! 

3. Time Trials - THIS THURSDAY, MAY 24TH

Time Trials is mandatory!!!!!! Time Trials allow us to plan our practices AND meets effectively. Without times for your kids, we will not know what we need to work on or what events they should swim in the meets. It's so important that they attend this practice as we will be planning our first meet this Friday!

TIME TRIAL DINNER - every time trials we will have food for sale! It's your opportunity to kick back, relax, and not have to worry about planning dinner for the whole fam. Not to mention, it's the last day of school!!!! Who wants to wrangle dinner together for a bunch of hungry swimmers when you could feed them poolside AND support the team at the same time???? THIS WEEK is hamburgers and hotdogs with chips! $5 cash only - all profits going to the Hammerheads. Still looking for some more loving, caring, generous dads to help with cause and grill for us starting at 4:45/5PM!!

4. First Swim Meet - NEXT WEDNESDAY, MAY 30TH

Our first SWIM MEET of the season is Wednesday, May 30th AT HAMMOND HILLS against Riverside Club. This one of our favorite meets of the season! Swimmers are expected to arrive between 3:45-4PM. Meet will begin at 5PM. 6&Unders should expect to stay until 7/7:30PM. All other age groups should expect to stay until 9/9:30PM. Once you are done with your events, you can leave! 

(Silly and fun) Coaches relay is at the very end of the meet. Concessions support the team and will be available throughout the meet - cash only! After-swim meet dinner will be held at MOD Pizza on Roswell Road just around the corner - 15% of the proceeds goes back to the team!

5. SWIM MEET ABSENCES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Swim Meet absences for our first meet (Wed, May 30th) have to be reported to [email protected] by this THURSDAY @ 5PM! Please do not forget to do this - it makes our life so hard when we have to pull kids out of the meet planning is finished. 

5. No practice Memorial Weekend (Friday or Monday)

NO PRACTICE THIS FRIDAY (5/25) OR NEXT MONDAY (5/28) for Memorial Weekend! We hope you have a safe and fun weekend!
