Hello from Florida! Kevin Eddy and I are at the ASCA World Clinic, learning from the best minds in coaching from around the world. Already It has been a great experience, with many Idea’s that will change the way we both approach coaching. Here are a few of the major upcoming events, please take the time to read through them.

-New Swimmers (September 14th)
We will be having new families join the team on September 14
th. Remember what it was like when you just joined and extend a welcoming hand. It’s never fun being the new people on the block, so let’s try to do a good job welcoming them to the Waves.
-Varsity Lessons (September 21st- Oct. 8th)
Lessons Start Monday September 21
st . This means the pool will be very crowded and noisy. I wanted to make sure you knew and could perhaps prepare your kids for the extra bodies at the pool.
-Store volunteer
The Waves store is in desperate need of a store manager. It takes a lot of time, but it’s a great way to get your volunteer hours in. Please see the linked file
[Volunteer Opportunities] about this and many other opportunities to help out the Waves.
-Officials Class (Oct 21st. @ 5:30 PM)
There is an
Officials class coming up. Being an official is a great way to learn more about the sport that you’ve become a part of. Not only will you appreciate and understand your child’s swims more, but you’ll get your entire volunteer hours taken care of in no time.
That’s all for the week, have a great day and I’ll see you at the pool.
