Five Star Weekly News

Good morning Five Star swimmers and families!

As a result of the weather and road conditions practice will be cancelled tonight.

Please see below for this week’s news.

Updates from Coach Steve

Congratulations to everyone who swam at the IMX meet on Saturday. It was a long day and a late night, but the kids represented us well and swam fast!

 

Keep working hard! Championship season is approaching, and we will be ready to swim fast.

 

Also, if anyone would like to change their events for the Five Star Cup, please let me know ASAP. I recommend swimming events that you are close to qualifying for in the upcoming championship meets.

 

Additionally, all senior team swimmers who are not competing at the Cup are requested to time at finals each night. This has been a long-standing tradition. I have spoken with them about this, so they are aware of it.

 

Sign up for the spring clinic.  We will be focusing on stroke mechanics and race prep for the summer.

 

Long Course information and sign-ups will be out soon.

 

Championship meet entries are fast approaching.  Please commit yes or no.  If your swimmer is close and can attend, please commit yes.  I can update entries as we get closer.

 

Practice attendance is important as we head into the final part of the season.

 

Sickness- If your child is sick, PLEASE KEEP THEM HOME.  Sickness travels through a swim team very quickly.

 

Five Star Cup

Volunteer sign-ups for the Five Star cup and Five Star Mini are live. Please login to your teamunify account to sign up.  The Five Star Cup will be held February 21 & 22 and is a prelims/finals meet. The Five Star Mini will be held on February 21 and is for swimmers 8&U only.

 

Five Star Banquet

Please save the date for our end of season banquet on April 12! We are asking all families to bring a dish to share. If your last name begins with letters A-K please bring a side dish to share. If your last name begins with letters L-Z please bring a dessert to share. Thank you!
