Swimmers remember that we are doing about fifteen minutes of warm-ups before getting in the pool so dress accordingly (shoes, sweats).  Also, be sure to bring warm clothes for after swimming.  Swim caps worn during practice and a warm cap worn after practice will help the swimmer stay warm.

During December we will have practice Monday-Thursday.

I am starting a weekly treat to encourage our hard-working swimmers.  This can be anything, hot chocolate, cookies, ice cream sandwiches, muffins, etc.  If you would be willing to supply treats one week please let me know!!  The kids really enjoy having surprises. Please continue to send your swimmers with warm clothes for pre-practice stretching and to put on when they get out of the pool.

Parents please send swimmers dressed warmly on cold days.  We usually have a brief team meeting while we stretch and those in just a towel and swimsuit are getting cold before practice starts!!  If your swimmer says they are getting cold in the water please have them wear a cap, leggings, and/or long sleeved swim shirt.  Also make sure they have something to bundle up in after practice on cool days.

Lastly, the Lakeway pool is NOT open for recreational swimming during swim team practice.  Please stay out of the pool, including the steps, except during practice.  Thanks.

I welcome questions between practices, but it would be helpful if you could email me to remind me if I am supposed to do something for you because I talk to many parents each day. Great job to all swimmers!

Please let me know if you have any questions at all. I am very excited for everything we have planned this month. All of your kids did a great job last week and I’m looking forward to another awesome week.

Thanks,

Ginny Walsh
