State of the Storm
NOVEMBER 4, 2022
A Message from Coach Mary
Storm Families,
Thank you to all the group parents for putting together all the fun Halloween parties; the kids love them!
Reminders:
Sportswear/Suit pickup: Sportswear and suit/cap orders are in. Anyone who could not pick up their stuff at one of the two pickup locations last week will have till Sunday, Nov 13th, to pick it up. The products are either at SHY or BY, depending on the location that you indicated on your order form where you would like to pick them up. As I stated in the season opener Zoom call, we will only house the product until Nov 13th, during which anything not picked up by that date will be donated. This is due to our lack of space to house this much apparel.
Dryland: any swimmer participating in our dryland program must wear the proper attire, no matter their age. We still have kids showing up in flip-flops, crocs, slides, or no shoes. Due to safety concerns, we will no longer allow swimmers without the correct attire to do dryland, so please ensure they come properly prepared, which means gym shoes may need to be put in bags for dryland that happens after practice.
Proper attire: t-shirt, shorts or leggings, and sneakers.
Thank you,
Coach Mary
