***ATLA WEEKLY NEWS BLAST - September 15th to 21st***

Coach Rhi Jeffrey

Good morning team,

 

I hope you all have had a wonderful weekend so far! Below are some notes on next week:

 

PRACTICE CHANGES

  • No changes to practice next week, all swim and dryland times are as scheduled!

 

​DRYLAND EQUIPMENT

  • Any swimmer participating in dryland this season will be required to have their own yoga mat. These can be found online or at a Target/Walmart/Dicks Sporting Goods store locally. 
  • NO CROCS OR SANDALS WILL BE ALLOWED AT DRYLAND! Any swimmer not wearing proper footwear will not be allowed to participate in dryland and will be marked absent that day.

 

PARENT MEETING

  • Our parent meeting this season will be on Saturday October 4th @ 10:00 AM. We will not be attending the CS meet on that Saturday. 
  • We will have the meeting LIVE in the Water Country conference room (details and directions to follow later). We will broadcast virutally for those who cannot attend in person.
  • There will be coffee and small breakfast pasteries (possibly bagels) that the coaching staff will provide for attendees. 
  • We will have an ATLA "yard sale" where we will have old shirts and equipment on sale. 
  • This is also a great time for an equipment swap. If you have old equipment you do not use any more (shirts, fins, parkas, etc) we would love for you to bring them in to donate to other swimmers on the team who may need them.
  • We are going to run a raffle for those who attend in person. Each family with a representative at the meeting will have their name put into a random drawing. The winner will receive $200 off their swim season as a credit to their account. 
  • If you cannot attend the parent meeting, please let me know in advance and I can work out an alternative with you. 
  • Friendly reminder: your $100 parent meeting deposit will be forfeit if you do not attend the meeting nor let me know you cannot attend BEFORE the meeting occurs (emergencies will be dealt with on a case by case basis).

 

Thanks all and have a great week!
