HELLO TEAM!

Happy Weekend! I hope you are all well on this beautiful spring afternoon. The Coaches and I spent a busy morning planning for our upcoming season and have some important updates to share.

TIME TRIALS: 

We will have time trials on May 23rd at 4:30pm (at Brooke Farm Pool). There will be no regular practice on the day of time trials. RSVP is open on website. We will also need parent volunteers to time for the trials. 

If you are not familiar with them, Time Trials are a fun and an easy start to the excitement of racing and get the children used to the swim meet experience. Time trials are also essential for the coaching team to have accurate times for our swimmers for lineup purposes and to identify where to focus our technique work.

TEAM PICTURES:
May 30th @4pm

Please arrive at Brooke Farm @4pm in advance of our 1st swim meet of the season for a photo and meet prep/warm-ups. 

SWIM TEAM GEAR:

Swimmers are expected to arrive to practice in a (preferably) one piece well-fitted suit, hair in a swim cap (preferred) or pulled back and swim googles and a towel. The coaches are going to push for swimmers to wear swim caps this season - be prepared. Here is the link to order the team suit if necessary. 

FRIDAY SWIM - SOCIAL:
May 19th during standard practice times we will have a fun/play day. During each age group practice times the swimmers will play games and have fun getting to know one another and bonding as a team. Parents are highly encouraged to stay for practice to mix with the other parents.

NEW TO TEAM: 

If you are new to the team and have any pressing questions, please call or text me at 770-312-4826. I will also be at each practice the first week to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible. We are thrilled to welcome our new families to the team and are super excited to show you what it means to be a Bullfrog - our small but mighty team is something special. 

TEAM SOCIAL: 

Tentative - save the date June 2nd for a swim team social. S'more Coaches - an evening of outdoor fun for our little bullfroggers - come enjoy s'mores and hang with the Coaches! I'd love a volunteer or two to pull this off! Please let me know if you can help.

VOLUNTEERING & MEET RSVP:

Each family is required to have a family member volunteer at each meet attended for at least one half. The volunteer roles are open on the swim meet RSVP section. We will have a chance to explain the roles to new members and practices during our time trials. Please consider signing up to volunteer for the season now. Swim meets are posted on the website and open for RSVP's. If you know your schedule, please take a minute to knock out your meet registration for the season. You can always change it later if necessary. It will save us a lot of time chasing people down so we can get an accurate roster to build the meet lineup. Swim Meet Schedule

That's it for now! 

GO BULLFROGS!!
