Reminders, Info Session Slides, and SCHEDULE CHANGE due to Weather...

Liz Foley

Rarely do I send out a weekly news email and then have to send a follow-up the next day with nearly as much information.  I am going to blame the weather...as it is the cause of the schedule change.  The rest of the reminders are just good to have as the ordering windows for suits, parkas, and custom caps close this week and we want everyone to have a chance to get their orders in.

Also, I want to bring to everyone's attention that with the atmospheric river in the forecast for Friday/Saturday, it is possible that Friday practices will be canceled.  We will continue to "storm chase" on our weather ap and ensure it really is going to land on us before canceling practice.  That said, weather permitting, this Saturday does in fact start our optional "Starts and Turns" practices for all swimmers in all age groups (NOT for Tadpoles).  That schedule is also included below (many thanks to the new families for pointing this out to me).  

NEW Parent Info Night Slides are available on the Website!

What a great group of NEW families last night at the Info Session!  Lots of great questions, and a great overview of the season led by the better-presenting president, Jessica Harrison!  Click here to go to the event details and scroll to the bottom to see the slides from the evening, including the favorite, "Schedule in 1 page" slide perfect for attaching to your refrigerator...if you still do that.

UPDATE:  Redwood High School Meet Moved to Thursday...Practice Schedule Change at Redwood.

Redwood High School is optimistic in their storm prediction skills and is hopeful they can get their meet in on Thursday and avoid the storm altogether.  Therefore, it will be our THURSDAY schedule at Redwood that changes this week, NOT the Friday Schedule.  Below is now the schedule for the rest of this week (not what I sent out yesterday). Tadpole + swimmers will also start at 6:00 pm on Thursday.

At this time, as far as we know, the meet at the College of Marin scheduled for Friday is still on.  Returning 8 & Unders are invited to practice at Redwood on Friday at 5:45pm.  THERE WILL BE NO PRACTICES at COM on Friday!
