Hi Team!!! 

With sunny blue skies forecasted for the next 10 days who is excited about Shongum Swim team starting back up again??? I AM!!

This is your first email from me for summer 2024 so get used to it cause I like to send out lots of communication:) 

First thing is that I am working on getting us TWO practice/evaluations set up for next week. This will give a chance for the new younger swimmers to get acclimated to the lake and for the coaches to get a good look at them and for the older/experienced swimmers to get wet a few times before we kick off normal practice schedule the following week! Here is the tentative schedule for next week and I will confirm once we have lifeguard confirmation as well

Monday June 10th & Thursday June 13th 4:45-5:45PM 8-under swimmers meet at the beach side of the lake! Coaches and Junior coaches will be evaluating them in shallow end to the dock

Monday June 10th & Thursday June 13th 5:45-6:45PM-9 & overs meet at the lap lanes for a light practice. If you have a NEW swimmer 10-under reach out to me directly to see which practice is appropriate and if you have an experienced 8 year old swimmer reach out as well to see if later practice more appropriate! 

Practice schedule times have changed slightly from last summer so here is a quick recap to put in your calendars (also can be found on Swimtopia) 

Monday/Tuesday/Thursday

1:00-2:00PM 11 & over practice

2:00-3:00PM 10-under practice

Wednesday

Friday-FUN FRIDAY!

Lastly I want to let everyone know that both Coach Kari & Coach Brendon are BACK for another summer together! So have a great weekend and will send out confirmation email about next week and be prepared with swim cap, goggles, towel, sweatshirt and speedo/jammers!
