Coach’s Corner
Fellow Rats,
Congratulations on an amazing start to the season!
Great to see all the team spirit flowing around the pool deck at time trials. It is now time for all swimmers to dig deep and focus on personal goals.
"Take your marks", it's time to dive into a legendary summer.
Bleed Green!
-Coach Nick
Jobs
If you haven’t signed up for your five meet jobs and one team job, please reach out to Ray Elias ([email protected]) so he can get you squared away. Check out the meets to see what jobs are available and let him know what you would like to sign up for. If you don’t let him know by Tuesday (5/17), you will be assigned jobs.
Veteran Families Still Needed
If you’re a veteran Rats family, you can remember how confusing the first year of swim team can feel. We want to make sure that each of our new families has someone that they can reach out to with questions. Veteran families, you definitely don’t need to know it all to sign up to be a buddy - all you need is a welcoming, helpful attitude and a #BleedGreen heart! Veteran families (1+ years on the team), please click here to sign up to be a family buddy.
Lessons
Coach Nick and Coach Briona are offering some lessons in the early afternoons this May. Click here to check availability and sign up. Once we are into summer there will be lots of lessons offered by our coaches.
Team Suits, Caps, and Spirit Wear
We are waiting to hear from Making Waves that our order has arrived. Once the caps and suits arrive, we will pick them up and they will be distributed at practice.
We expect the apparel from the spirit shop order to arrive during the first week of summer practice. Orders will be distributed at practice once they arrive.
Make it a great week everyone and GOOOOOOOO RATS!!
