Howdy Wahoos!

The season starts this Wednesday, May 7th. Please see below for some important updates and general information.

Coaches

We're going to miss Coach Abby and Coach Carrick this year, but we still have an awesome coaching team! Coach Emma will lead the 10&under age groups and Coach Grant will lead the 11&ups. I will help out with practices, as well as handle the emails and other administrative tasks. The rest of our wonderful and talented coaches are super excited to kick off the season! Go check out the Coaches tab of the website to see some of them when they were little Wahoos :)

Practice Cancellation Due to Rain

In the event of rain, we do not cancel the entire day of practice at once. If we hear thunder or see lightning, we take a 30-minute break. I will send out an email if an age group practice is cancelled. If there is predicted rain or stormy weather (Hello, Houston), please check your email regularly in case of an update. We will also post on the Instagram story.

No Parents Allowed on Deck

To ensure our focus and safety of swimmers, parents will not be allowed on the pool deck during practice. If you have questions, feel free to email me.

Baby Pool

Younger siblings ages 4 and under are allowed to swim in the Baby Pool during practice. Parents MUST supervise their swimmers AT ALL TIMES. No Wahoos are allowed in the baby pool. If these rules are not followed, coaches have the right to close the baby pool.

Growth Mindset

For many swimmers this is their first year on swim team. We understand that and work hard to ensure swimmers see growth every year. The first couple weeks of swim team can be intimidating and overwhelming. Please encourage your swimmer to come to practice, ready to try their best and give it their all.

Social Media

We want to remind everyone that we have a Facebook and Instagram account. We will be trying to use the accounts more frequently this summer, so check in for updates!
