June 6th Weekly Newsletter
This is your River Falls Swim News for June 6th!
Action items are highlighted in yellow.
There was no team swim meet this past weekend, but we had 46 swimmers attend the evaluations this past Tuesday and Thursday! Just over half of those swimmers are getting in the pool today for their first Developmental lesson or first team practice of this session. If you haven’t signed up for the Developmental Summer session or the Swim Team Competitive Summer Session, you still have time. Both Developmental Summer session and the Swim Team Competitive Summer Session registration ends tomorrow, June 7th so, if you haven’t registered yet or you know somebody that is looking to swim this summer, it’s not too late! The Swim Team Competitive Spring Session will conclude this Friday, June 10th. Our spring swimmers worked hard and made some big time drops throughout the session. Congratulations! For those not registered for the summer swim session, we hope to see all of you in the pool again soon.
For planning purposes, our swim club will be hosting half of the Minnesota Achievement Championship (MAC’s) on July 9th and 10th. There will be approximately 30 teams in attendance and we will have many swim meet jobs to fill in order to make the meet a success. More information can be found on the Volunteer page of the website. (Volunteer Description link will be repaired by Tuesday at 7pm) We are aiming to post volunteer opportunities on the Events page of the website by the end of the week.
