For practice next week, we will revert back to our normal practice schedule in the morning.    The practice schedule can be found here:

https://foresthills.swimtopia.com/practice-schedul...

For the 8 and under's we have two groups.  The coaches have put the groups together for the part of the season.  Please do not get upset if you son/daughter is in the blue group.  We have quite a few 8 and unders this year and within each group they will get better.

Ride Share

We have some folks looking for ride share.   Please contact John Schroeder [email protected] for some of the kids in the morning.   

Facebook Page

We do have a FB page.

This does require approval by our admins, but please join as we will communicate here as well.  

First Meet

Our first meet will be Thursday, June 5th.   Tiffanee Witt put together some fantastic info graphics on the Facebook page which I'm including here.   

The first step we need all parents to do is mark your son/daughter if they are coming to the meet.   This is done with the Swimtopia (easiest) or website.  Find the meet for this week (hint: all meets start with 2025) and then you will be your son/daughter as undetermined.   Please mark if they plan on attending.  (Hint #2:  You can go ahead and do this for all of the meets :))  We know kids get sick, things come up, we just ask that this done by Monday June 2nd by 5pm.   Our coaches have to put the meet together and it takes time before Thursday.   The coaches will determine what events they are doing.  

Remember if you do nothing, you are consider undetermined and that will be interpreted as not attending

If you are in the 8 and under, feel free to mark your swimmer as participating if you can make it. The coaches will be letting you know this week if they will be swimming or not.

Volunteer Roles for the Meets

We need volunteers and I'll send a note out on Monday as a reminder.   Please volunteer even if you have never done this before, we will help you.   The info graphics have a good breakdown of what they are and you do no have to do the entire meet.  We break it into first half and second half.    All of the roles are a must - we have to have age group parents with the large amount of kids we have in 8 and under and 9-10.   

Shark Bites

We also have shark bites concession stand.   If you are able to donate a few items, please drop them off before the meet.  We run a separate concession of hamburgers, brats, hot dogs and candy for the meet which goes back to the team.   The sign up is also in Swimtopia.   

Payment

If you haven't paid, please find me or one of the coaches a separate reminder email will go out.   

T-Shirts and Caps

We haven't gotten the t-shirts yet, but should be this week.  More to come when we get them.  Caps - if you need a cap, find myself, Julie, Lindsey and we will get them to you.   For swimmers, they can wear a different cap at meets, but it cannot show a logo of another team (flip it inside out in other words).  

For dive I'll be sending a separate email out.  

Thanks,

Dan Ryan
