Hi Poolsharks -

2 things in this email: Training Groups AND 3-6-9-10 seasons of commitment list (plesae double check for accuracy).

#1) HERE are our Training Groups - please make sure your child's name is on the list and in a group. Please do NOT request any changes, for example 'can Bobby be moved to Johnny's group because they are best friends.' We all want to be with our friends. This is an opportunity to make new friends and be outside of our comfort zones with intentional support. Placement is based on age and 25/50 freestyle time in our database. The hardest training groups to be accurate on Day 1 is our 11-12's, as 95% of our 11 year olds do not have a 50 freestyle time in the system but in general the majority of our 11-12's will be placed in a group that is appropriate for their level. There will be some adjustments throughout the season as swimmers each develop/grow at different rates. For the first few days - during our team meeting at beginning of practice, coaches will do a 'roll call' so kids know where to go. Please tell your swimmer who their assigned coach is so they are prepared for Day 1.

#2) 3-6-9-10 Seasons of Commitment SWAG - organized by our parent volunteer for team gear, Kerri Ohlandt (mom of 3 Poolsharks Isaac, Emmett & Hugh).

Poolshark Families, We need 2 minutes of your time. We track the number of seasons swimmers participate as Poolsharks so we can reward their commitment. Special awards are given for seasons 3, 6, 9 and 10. We need your help to make sure everything is accurate. We kindly ask that you complete the following by Friday, April 24th. This is the only way we can make sure your swimmer receives the awards they have earned and that any personalization is correct.

Have Fun, Race Hard, Do Your Best, Go Poolsharks!
