Hi All,

It was so wonderful to see you all yesterday evening. The coaches, Amanda and I just loved all the energy your new little Bullfrogs brought into the water to kick the season off strong! The returning swimmers were also full of energy and excitement and it's just so much fun that the kids are (just as pumped up about swim team as we are) (it's a high bar)).

Parents of 6&U: In the next few days, the coaches will continue to evaluate each child's abilities and then assign each child to a Lily pad of peers (aka a lane line) with a coach in charge. This will help to create order and (most importantly) maximize the coaches ability to work collectively with their group, as well as 1:1 with each swimmer.

WEATHER: Since the temps last night were low 49 and today's high is 72, Coach Julie will have the 6&U and 7-10 do dryland activities. When the water is too cold, it becomes counter productive to have them in the water. Julie, Jane and team have lots of fun team building/endurance building games they can play. Please have kids dress in tshirt and shorts with socks and sneakers. (They may also want a water bottle). Julie sent a remind text as well. If you haven't already, please text @dbws to 81010 to get enrolled in our team updates.

NEW FAMILIES: I would like to hold a brief parent meeting tomorrow (Wednesday) and Thursday at 5:15 to share "what you need to know overall" as well as cover the specifics of swim meets - registering your swimmers and volunteer sign-up.
Please do your best to attend either one of these days. If you cannot for any reason, let me know, and we will find a time to meet one on one to make sure you are up to speed.

TEAM shirts: We have a number of Mom tank tops and team shirts for the kids available. Mom tanks are $25 and kid t-shirts are $15. See me at practice if you are interested in getting your very own Bullfrog gear :). 

As always, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions @ 770-312-4826 (Katie).

Go Bullfrogs!
