Latest Wave

It's been a great season so far and we are definitely on the home stretch. The upcoming week is unique because we have no scheduled swim meets. We do however have our last swim meet scheduled for Tuesday, July 6th. It is imperative that all swimmers are signed up no later than Wednesday, June 30th for this meet. Parents, even if your swimmers are not able to swim, please indicate so in our blue notebook located at the pool. This makes scheduling the meet line-up so much easier and alleviates game day changes. Thank you in advance for your cooperation with this.

Wow! Waves swimming was at it's best tonight! Great job swimmers! Thank you to our 9-10 boys who stepped up tonight and swam 50 yard events to help our team. That is truly team spirit!!

Tomorrow we will swim against Brookshire at home. Swimming at home means we warm-up first, so please make sure all swimmers ages 7 & up are at the pool by 3:45pm ready to go. Swimmers will need their t-shirts, goggles, caps and a sharpie marker.

If you are scheduled to volunteer, please check in with Susan Woodhouse by 4:30pm. Also, 6 & under swimmers need to arrive by 4:30pm.

Our parking lot fills up pretty quickly so please consider carpooling or an alternate way to the pool. We will have full concessions with walking tacos, pizza, burgers and plenty of snacks and drinks. Thanks for supporting our team!

We'll see you at the pool!!

On Tuesday, June 22nd we will be taking our 2010 Waves team picture. Please plan on being at the pool by 6:00pm on Tuesday evening. Swimmers need to wear their team suit and Waterstone Waves t-shirts. Immediately following pictures, there will be one practice including all age groups. Afterwards swimmers can enjoy making and eating ice cream sundaes. We will provide bowls, spoon and ice cream and ask that each family bring one topping of their choice.

Great swimming last night by all of our swimmers! Way to go! This morning, June 18th, we will have our annual stroke clinic with Carmel Swim Club coaches and national level swimmers. Please do you best to make your scheduled practice time to participate in this fantastic opportunity. We are also having our doughnut and bagel breakfast. Bring your favorite doughnuts or bagels and we'll provide juice and milk for breakfast with the team after each practice.

Regarding meet sign-up. PLEASE make sure you have signed up either "yes" or "no" for each of our meets by the designated dates. These deadlines are posted in the parent handbook and are listed on the website. If you know your swimmer will not make one of our meets, please still indicate so in the book so we know your intentions. We will extend next week's sign-up deadline until Monday, June 21st. If you cannot make it to the pool to sign-up, email swimteamcoordinator@waterstonewaves.org BEFORE June 21st to indicate your preference.

Thank you to all of the parents for your support and hard work! We couldn't do any of this without you!

Great job to all the swimmers and volunteers tonight! What a great time trial and what great swimmers! It's not easy braving the elements, like rain and cool temperatures and everyone did such a great job.

This afternoon we will swim our time trial meet. Time trials tend to run quickly and are a fun way to get the season started.

Just a friendly reminder that next Tuesday, June 8th, we will be swimming our intra squad time trial meet. This event is a great way to kick off the summer swim season and helps prepare everyone for the upcoming meets. On Thursday, June 10th we will host our first official meet of the season. The sign-up deadline for both of these meets is Friday, June 4th and the sign-up book is a blue notebook located at the pool check-in table. Whether your swimmer plans to attend a meet or not, we ask that you still indicate "yes" or "no" in the sign-up book to alleviate any confusion on the day of the meet.

It wouldn't be summer swimming without summer storms... if there is thunder and lightning at the time of a scheduled practice, the practice will be cancelled. Practices will still go on if it is only raining. Cooler temps? Just throw on some tennis shoes and join your group for dryland activities on the pool deck.

We are looking forward to an incredible 2010 season! See you at the pool!
