COACH’S CORNER

We are already on week THREE of our session! Things are going so well for all of our groups. Please make sure your swimmer has all of their equipment by now. If you are unsure about what equipment they need, please review here.

The theme of this session is.......dun dun dunnnn....."Encouragement". Let's take this time to encourage each other, as some of us are competing in a meet for the first time, or events that they're unsure of. What can we do to encourage each other?

And a request and some encouragement to have swimmers out of the locker room within 10 minutes of the end of your practice, especially at the end of the night or weekends. We have to allow the lifeguards to lock up and do their nightly and after swim team checklist. Thank you!

Any Waunakee 8th grade girls interested in Waunakee High School Swimming next school year, please see the attachment for the upcoming informational meeting on May 8th.

Inclement Weather Policy: We are coming into spring weather, which brings different types of weather! The pool will be closed for 30 minutes after instances of thunderstorms/lightning. If it looks like storms will continue for longer, we may make the decision to cancel practices. Please keep an eye on your emails during this time for potential last-minute changes.

UP AND COMING

ANNUAL TEAM CELEBRATION

It’s That Time Again! Our epic annual team celebration is just around the corner!

Join us on May 18th from 4:00–6:30 PM for an afternoon of fun, food, and fanfare. We’re talking inflatable slides, axe throwing (yes, it’s safe!), and a visit from the legendary Kona Ice truck. Oh, and of course—pizza, snacks, and drinks to keep everyone fueled up.

Any swimmer from the 2024–2025 season is welcome—bring the whole crew (aka your family)!

Important: Please click the link here and fill out the reservation form so we know how many mouths we’re feeding (and how much ice to prepare).

Bonus Points: Want to be a hero for the day? We need volunteers to help make the magic happen. If you can spare a little time, sign up for a shift!
