Dear Avonworth Swim Team Parents and Guardians! 

Congrats on a great first few weeks of swim practice. We could not be more proud of all of your swimmers, and everyone crushed it at our first meet. 

A few notes first on swim practice: 

We would like to ask all parents to stay off the deck at practice. This means staying off the side of the pool and staying behind the rope on deck.

We are also moving the second practice back to start at 9:05 instead of 9:00. This allows the coaches to have a more concise and focused start for the second practice. 

Now we just want to add a few notes for swim meets coming up, since we have our first true dual meet tomorrow! 

If everyone can stay till the end of meets, even when finished with their events, that would be great. This helps to make sure there are kids on deck incase of last-minute lineup changes. Additionally, the coaches always do coach relays, and its fun for the swimmers to get to be involved and watch! If you do have to leave the meet early, that is completely understandable, but please let Sam or I know prior to leaving. 

Check in will always be with a parent, not the coaches. Unless there is an emergency on needing to change events, your child should be able to check in and get events with the parent volunteer. 

Please put a note in swim topia if there are any events that your child would like to do. We want to make sure that all swimmers are getting to try new strokes, so it really helps the coaches to remember if there is a note for us. 

The coaching staff is very excited for our first home meet and for our first coaches relay! Please reach out to Sam and I with any questions or concerns you have for practice or for meets.

Thank you for everyone's help so far this season, and we are looking forward to our meets! 

Emma Smith and Sam Kohler
