We are having a fun Friday team building event during practice this Friday 7/10! We want to build the team spirit for our Red and Blue intrasquad meet and prepare to swim fast!  We will be holding regular practice for levels 4 - 6. Levels 1 - 3 will have some 13-18s join their group. We will be working on dives, turns, fast finishes, and racing. We will be doing mixed age relays and then have activities on deck after practice. We will have so many fun things to do: a Champs Poster making station, a clothes pin craft station, a spirit/tattoo booth, a BYO t-shirt to tie dye station, and a water ballon toss station. We will finish off with hotdogs, watermelon, and chips for lunch. 

Level 5 may begin with the on-deck activities at 10. The other groups will participate in the on-deck activities after their practice.  

13-18s, we need your help in the water cheering on the kids in levels 1 - 3 and working with the adults to run the other stations. We need some of you to help with the craft stations, lunch prep, water balloon station, and others to participate in the practices. Please sign up so I know where you would like to help. This is a great way to help serve your younger teammates and have some fun! You will have a chance to dye t-shirts once the little kids have finished. Thank you so much for giving back to the team!

All swimmers who wish to tie dye a t-shirt need to bring a pre-washed white t-shirt in a ziplock bag with your child's name written on the outside. We will supply the materials to dye. Please RSVP and write in the comments if your child will be dying a shirt. Please have your children drop their t-shirt off at the die dye station before practice so that the volunteers can help tie them up while they swim. After they finish practice the shirts will be ready to dye.

Any parents who would like to help this fun Friday run smoothly, please sign up to help or text Coach Katie 916-879-3296.
