Hello Orcas,

What a fantastic first week of practice! The coaches are beyond impressed with how great the swimmers look and how well-behaved everyone has been. We know it’s not always easy when the lanes get crowded, but the swimmers have handled it wonderfully. Keep up the great work, Orcas!

The coaches are always observing and evaluating to ensure swimmers are in the right groups. Over these first two weeks, we’ll be watching closely to see who may be ready to move up. Final group placements will be set by the end of next week, so please make every effort to have your swimmer at practice, giving their best effort.  

Reminders:

• Please declare for the Mock Meet ASAP. It is a fun introduction to an Orca swim meet and gets the kids excited for future meets. The last day to declare for the Mock Meet is September 18^th. I have attached some meet information. EVERYONE needs to declare for the meet regardless if you are going or not. Please let us know either way, it takes a few seconds to declare for meets in Swimtopia. Let us know if you need help with that.
• Every Swimmer needs to bring the required equipment to practice everyday.  I have attached the equipment suggestions once again.
• Parents: Join us at 3^rd Turn, September 14^th, and connect with your Orca family. Parents only please.
