Please read this whole email. It is full of important updates and upcoming dates.

We did it! We are almost finished with another crazy school year. Congratulations to all of the graduates and a special thank you to teachers and school staff. Now, let’s swim!

Wrapping up Week 2

The kids continue to improve every day. The water is warming up and they are really grooving with the practice routines and growing in confidence with each practice. This week was heavy on backstroke. Ask your kid what is their backstroke count - they should all remember this number!

Coach Will took seed times for some age groups in various events and this is the main point of the Time Trials Meet next Thursday - gather baseline times for kids. The best thing a kid can do is improve their own time for an event. Not win, lose, 1st place, or last place - improving personal times is what we look for!

Make sure to sign up for REMIND 101 to receive important texts on meet day. Text @rmracers22 to 81010 to sign up.
