Weekly Swim Team Newsletter

We ask for the safety of both residents and swimmers that you park in designated areas only. Please refer to the aerial map below. We MUST keep all intersections clear for active traffic. Do not park in any areas marked in red, as your vehicle may be towed if it is parked there. Do not park within 15 feet of fire hydrants, 25 feet of a crosswalk or intersection, or within 30 feet of a stop sign - these are all standard Texas laws and subdivision requirements, and please observe speed limits. Cars may be towed if parked in the areas marked as "No Parking".

The parking lot is reserved for Coaches and Officials

**If you do not contact us we will call you like a teen looking for Apple Pay or the PTO reminding you to buy a yearbook.

Please send your swimmer to their coaches after their race. Our Coaches give the best advice. They love when your swimmers come up after their race so they can encourage and advise them.

Remind your swimmer about Disqualifications or DQs:

-Finish Backstroke on your back, use your arm to reach back for the wall

-Don't pull or move yourself forward on the lane lines

-2 hand touch to finish breaststroke and butterfly

The Meet is expected to end around 2:00 pm. If your swimmer has to leave early they MUST check out with their tent parent. Their Tent Parent will then inform the Coaches so they can check the relay list.

We strongly encourage all swimmers ages 10 and under to stay in their age group tents. If you leave your age group tent, please communicate it with the tent parent so they know where you are.

If you have a question about why your swimmer was Disqualified or DQ please find Dani, our Team Rep, cell number 713-449-9982.

Please keep in mind that Breaststroke and Butterfly are very technical and if your swimmer is learning them they will mostly like be disqualified until they can put all the pieces of the stroke together.

Dani will need:

-your swimmer's name

-event, heat, and lane numbers

1) Dive in and join us to celebrate the season and our swimmers! Please RSVP on Swimtopia either yes or no for our fabulous banquet on Monday June 15th at 6pm.

2) Divisionals is Saturday June 13 at Klein High School located at 16715 Stuebner Airline Rd, Klein, TX 77379. Everyone can attend Divisionals, there are no qualifying times, as long as your swimmer has participated in 2 dual meets they qualify for Divisionals. Please declare now for Divisionals. No late sign ups will be allowed. Never be afraid to sign up your swimmer, it is much easier to scratch them than to add them so feel free to sign up. If your plans change or if your swimmer gets sick, just let us know as soon as possible.

3) Parent's Night Out, Thursday June 11th at Central Park Pool from 5pm to 9pm. Let the kids come swim and hang out with their friends while the parents have a couple hours of freedom to run errands or go on a date. We will have dinner and fun events planned for every participant.
