August Update 3: Registration plans and updated practice schedule

Good evening!

I just wanted to send out another quick update to keep everyone in the loop with what’s going on behind the scenes.

Registration:
We are scheduling registration events right now, and are finishing up the SVYA policy handbook. We are planning for official registration to take place on Wednesday/Friday at 6:00pm, and Saturday at 12:00pm. These registration meetings should at most last an hour, and help us create teamunify accounts, answer questions, help with registration (Y membership and team), and give us a time to meet each other! Please plan on making one of those times and let us know which ones work for you.

Our handy handbook contains several helpful pieces of information like an overview of the team, general swim meet info, financial info, code of conduct and other policy things. We will go into more detail during the meetings, including information on fun events for our swimmers like bringing back Trunk-or-Treat:)

Schedule change:

We have decided that a 4:15 start time was better for our SVYA families, and are now having Riptide practice from 4:15-5:15. There will be a slight overlap with the Tidal Wave group, but this time will be used for warmups and learning meet warm up procedures. (Also a great opportunity for our older swimmers to be role models for the younger group).

As always, feel free to ask me any questions and I hope to see you all soon!

Respectfully,
Joseph Shelly
