Happy Summer Break!

Morning swim practices start TOMORROW!

Remember... practice is offered Monday through Friday (with exceptions for holiday)

Morning Practice times:

9 - 12 yr olds: 8:30 - 9:30

8 & under: 9:30 - 10:00

13 +: 10:00 - 11:00

As always...

- Come prepared in your suit with goggles and cap (if using) and towel. Also, have dry land sneakers and clothes ready, just in case. 

 - Parents keep quiet on the bleachers and do not sit around the back bench of the pool deck. Please tell all grandparents, nannies, babysitters, older siblings to do the same when bringing your child to practice.

 - Make sure all kids who are NOT in the practice session are staying safe and not on the hillside by the baby pool. They can also get loud which makes it difficult for the swimmers to hear coach.

*****************

Attend as many practices as you can. There are a lot of other sports, summer camps, and tutoring sessions that also occur during summer swim season and we understand! The more practices your child attends, the farther they progress with skills/technique and the faster they get for meets - BUT kids should be KIDS and be able to do other sports and activities as well on their summer break.  If your child wants to get some extra practice outside of the morning team hours, reach out to a coach or lifeguard to discuss a private lesson later in the day. 

****************************

REMINDER - SIGN UP AS AVAILABLE OR NOT AVAILABLE for all the meets this season in Swimtopia!  Click on the meet in the posted schedule and it will have you declare your swimmer's availability.  Remember, for "invitational" meets like Ed Eyles, Battle of Borders, and Champs - Coach will NOTIFY you if you are selected, but you MUST let him know if you are even available for the choosing!

******************************

We are hoping to have MSC suits in by the end of this week in time for the Ed Eyles meet at Meadowink on Saturday. Fingers crossed!

Another shipment of Junior Goggles has come in and will be available for purchase at practice this week. 

**Please join the Murrysville Blue Wave swim team on Facebook and SHARE our Guest Bartending post.  We want to make this a fun night and a big success!
