Hi Lakers,

Thank you for joining our team.  Below is the information that was discussed at the parent meeting during our first practice.  I hope it answers all of the questions you may have, but please feel free to email or call either me or Kelly if you have additional questions.

Practices:

1. Tuesday, May 18 is Dry Land - wear sneakers and bring water; practice times are according to age groups: 4yo at 5:30, 5-8yo at 6:00, and 9+ at 6:45
2. Memorial Day - there will be no practice

Swim Attire:

1. All swimmers must wear tight fitting suits.  No rash guards or shirts, and no board shorts.
2. Caps are mandatory
3. Goggles are mandatory
4. Hand-me-down suits - if you have team suits from past seasons that you'd like to give to a younger swimmer, please bring them tonight.
5. Team suits are not mandatory, but they are encouraged.  They can be purchased at All American Swim, 885 Woodstock Rd, Unit 400, Roswell, GA 30075, 770-440-9870

Questions for Coaches:

1. Before and after practice, the coaches are available to answer questions
2. Never interrupt the coaches while practice is in session
3. Behavior and acting up - the coaches will handle this when it occurs during practice.  Please allow the coaches to do handle it without interrupting.
4. Potty breaks - if a child needs to go potty during practice, parents can take them if they need help.

Pool Etiquette:

1. NO GLASS at the pool
2. No clorox wipes should be used on the pool furniture
3. Clean up all trash around you before you leave
4. Put all chairs and tables back in their places before you leave

Swim Meets:

1. Swim Meets will be Thursday nights, June 3, 10, 17, 24, and July 1
2. Swimmers will need to be at the pool from approximately 5pm-9pm on swim meet nights.  Exact details will be established and communicated a week prior to the first meet.
3. One parent from each family should plan to work a shift during each meet.  A shift will be approximately 1.5 hours (no longer than 2 hours), either the first half of the meet or the second half.
4. There will be NO CONCESSIONS during swim meets.  You may bring food with you or have food delivered to the pool during meets, however.

Inclement Weather:

1. If severe weather is expected to disrupt practice, an email notification will be sent out by 4pm to inform you that practice is being canceled.  
2. If we hear thunder during practice or during a meet, all swimmers must get out of the pool and cannot return to the pool for 30 minutes
3. If lightening is spotted, everyone must leave the pool deck until 30 minutes after the last thunder is heard

Thank you,
