Hello Tidal Waves!  We've got several notes for you before the long weekend, so here we go:

(1) ****IMPORTANT**** With afternoon thunderstorm season upon us, we're going to use SwimTopia app alerts for urgent news, rainouts, etc. Be sure to download and sign in to the SwimTopia app (Info here:https://www.swimtopia.com/tour/swimtopia-mobile-app/) and turn notifications on for the app on your mobile device. If you're so inclined, there's also a paid account option you'll see in the app which adds heat sheets and live scores and results during our dual meets. 

(2) Next up, here's a note from Coach Todd (a.k.a. Coach Popi) regarding practice this week and what's coming up starting Monday: 

"Thanks to everyone for your patience in these first few days of practice. It is always a little chaotic the first week. Please encourage your child to just keep trying and everything will be great. The swimmers will settle into and be more familiar with the routine, and we will get to know them and their unique personalities. 

Next week it will be less crowded as we add the morning practices. If logistically possible, PLEASE come to morning practice. It is less crowded and the kids just respond better at this time of day. 

AM - practice -10:30-11:30am with Coach Stephen & Regan 

PM - older group 4-5:30pm with Coach Popi 

PM - younger group 6:30-7:30pm with Coach Stephen & Mikal

We have some older seniors who are coach helpers.  These guys are ALL on the team and swimmers, along with being lifeguard certified & swim lesson instructors."

(3) Remember that our Fun Meet is Thursday, June 3. Warmups will start at 5:30 and the meet will begin at 6:00. We'll be handing out swim caps at that time and are looking forward to getting into meet mode. The RSVP window for the meet will open up tomorrow afternoon. We ask you to indicate your intent to swim (and volunteer) via the SwimTopia RSVP process by Tuesday night. We'll send out more details closer to meet day. 

(4) If you aren't signed up yet, it's not too late! Head over to www.tidalwavesswim.com and click the Register Now button!  

(5) The RSVP window for our first dual meet with Stuart Heights will open next week, so be on the lookout for that as well.

That's all for today.  Thanks for a great first week of summer swimming and enjoy your Memorial Day weekend!
