Hi CROCS!

I wanted to send out a post and some important info regarding our New Swimmer Safety Check.  All swimmers NEW to the TEAM that are not coming from an existing team need to attend one of our SAFETY CHECKS to make sure they are ready for SWIM TEAM.  All swimmers 10&Under are expected to make it across the pool (25 yds) safely unassisted.  All swimmers 11&Up are expected to make it 50 yds in the same manner.  You must attend a safety check before you will be allowed to participate in practice.  We cannot do safety checks during practice. We will currently have two options for these swimmers to get checked off before practice begins.

FRI, April 12th 4:15-5:30 PM at the COLES CROSSING LAP POOL (weather and temps permitting, if we determine it is too cold we will send out email communication by noon)

or

SAT, April 13th 12:00-1:30 PM at either COLES Lap Pool or VILLASPORT Cypress indoor lap pool if the temps are too cold at COLES (we will send out email communication no later than Friday by noon)

PARENT EXPECTATIONS during the safety check.  Swimmers must attempt this on their own.  Parents should send their swimmer with a coach to the pool edge.  Parents will not be allowed to force their swimmer in, parents may not get in with them to encourage them, and parents must stay on the opposite edge of the pool only to cheer and have a towel ready for when they exit.  We cannot allow multiple attempts across the pool if your swimmer is not ready.  We will have a line of swimmers and must keep it moving.  Please remember that children will regress from the end of last summer to the spring, especially if they have not swum in 9 months.  Parents are always shocked that they do not pick up right where they left off.  We want to keep this fun. If you have any questions, please let me know.  See you all soon!!!

CROC it UP!!!
