Marlins,

Thank you so much to all the swimmers, coaches, volunteers, and everyone who came out to make our Practice Meet a fun event. The results are attached and the ribbons should be available in the box in the entryway by the end of the week. A special big thanks to our new photographer, Ming, who was able to capture these amazing shots. He wasn’t able to stay the whole meet, but hopefully the little kids will benefit from his talent at future meets.

PRACTICE STARTS TOMORROW & OFFICE HOURS

Practice start tomorrow and the current practice groups are here. Please remember to be 5-10 min early so that swimmers are in the pool by the practice start time. The Swim Team Committee will be hosting “office hours” during the first couple of days of practice. If you have any questions, or just want to meet us, please come by! We can also hand out the team shirts and personalized caps too.

JUNE 12 MEET & TEAM PHOTOS

Our meet next Sat, June 12th (virtual meet v. Cupertino Hills) is open and will follow the same structure and similar timeline as the Practice Meet (although we may add 30 min to each session). The sign ups for jobs and meet entries are on our website and here. Deadline is Weds. June 9th by 5:00 PM. Swimmers may sign up for 3 individual events PLUS the IM. The IM is a bonus event this season and will not count against the individual entry limits, so feel free to add that on for fun at every meet.

We will also be having our team photos during our next meet. Please be sure to bring your team shirt for the photos. If you would like individual or sibling photos, you will need to pre-order those for $15 on this website. Your $15 pays for all the different poses and shots they take of your swimmer, plus the full team composite photo, as high-resolution digital files. You can also order prints or use the file to print your own elsewhere.

JUNE 13 DIVE CLINIC

Thanks to everyone who showed up for the dive clinic today. I heard good feedback that our CITs were hard working and well-behaved, so special thanks to all the teens for getting up early on a Sunday to help their younger teammates.

Sign ups for the June 13th clinic for both the 10 and unders and CITs are here. Please check to make sure you are signing up in the right spots (diver v. CIT).
