Swim Team Hype Night Info and Updates
Hello Team!
Hype Night is this Thursday, May 14 from 5:30-7:30pm at The Landing:
5:30pm – Parent Meeting (Will discuss volunteer requirements)
6:30pm – Coach Meet and Greet
6:45pm – Swag Bag Distribution
After Swag Bag distribution families are invited to swim, but please be mindful of other patrons at the club and supervise all swimmers, as this is not a swim practice, just a time for fellowship with the coaches, swimmers, and families.
Update on Evals/Pre-season Practices:
To simplify the sign-up process, the only sign up needed now is the “Jobs” sign up (no more RSVPs) - please sign up for a time for each swimmer (it will be your name, not theirs, but we will change it) whether it be for a practice or an evaluation. Evals are 10 minute time slots, and practices are 30 minute time slots.
These evaluations and practices are not mandatory, but helpful for the coaches to place swimmers in the appropriate practice groups (if in question) and the appropriate lanes within practice groups. By assigning swimmers to lanes with other swimmers of similar abilities, the coaches are able to provide more intentional, targeted instruction based on the abilities of the swimmers in each lane. As they gain skills, swimmers might change lanes or even practice groups (if they want to) based on coach recommendation.
Once a swimmer has been evaluated, you can sign them up for the pre-season practice sessions (they don’t need to be signed up for any other evaluations).
The Evals & Practice times are as follow (Mon/Tue/Thurs):
5-5:30pm – Group C
5:30-6pm – Group B
6pm – 6:30pm – Group A
6:30-7pm – 50m Group (+11 and older)
These times are an hour earlier on Tuesday May 19 to allow the coaches to go to the MOWSC coaches’ meeting that night.
*No Practice Memorial Day
Morning Pre-season practices
