IMPORTANT INFORMATION - PLEASE READ THROUGH TO END

Hello Swim Teamers!

I apologize if you have not been receiving the emails. I investigated it after practice, and I think I found the issue. Hopefully, everyone is receiving the emails now - if not, please email me asap so I can make sure you are on the list (I will be posting this email on the blog - I'd suggest subscribing to the blog if you haven't yet >>> http://lindonswimteam.blogspot.com/)

**If you are receiving this email and you are not on swim team this year, please let me know so I can take you off the list.

Just a few reminders

Practice Etiquette

We have discussed the following with the swimmers and would like you to reinforce this at home so we can have a fun and productive season.

-Listen to the coaches when they are talking and respect them

-Work hard so we can play hard on Fridays (1/2 day - game day)

-Be aware we have a three strike policy (Strikes will be given at coaches’ discretion)

1st offense – A warning will be given

2nd offense – Out of the pool

3rd offense – Still required to come to the next practice, but you will sit out and not be allowed to swim.

-Tardy policy: Late more than two days in a row - the swimmer will be asked to do a dry land set for warm up.

Fins

We will be having fin days on Wednesday and Friday. Please make sure your child has their fins on these days as we will be using them during practice. If you don't have fins, we have some in lost and found they could possibly borrow (if they fit!). Otherwise, please purchase your fins at Poco Loco or other swim stores. Poco Loco will give you the team discount.

Team Suit and Cap

If you do not have the team swim suit from last year, please make sure you purchase the team suit from Poco Loco. Go to the store in Provo on University Pkwy and tell them you are on Lindon Storm Swim Team and they will give you the discounted price. ***If you do have the suit from last year, it is your choice to either buy the new suit or stick with the old one if it is still in good condition.

Team caps can be purchased here at the pool. These must be worn at the swim meets so we know who our swimmers are!

Parent Volunteer

Just a reminder, parents are required to volunteer 4.5 hrs per child. I will be posting a Google doc of the positions we need later today. Please email me the position you would like and I will put your name on the Google doc. The yellow and red highlighted boxes are the positions we need filled. Red is the highest priority that we must have filled in order to run the meet. These positions are for the two home meets that we have. So if you can't make it to these meets to volunteer, I'm sure the other teams would love your help at the away meets (this would count toward hours).

The starters, meet refs, and stroke judges will need to attend the training meeting on June 9th at the Riverside Country Club from 6-9:30pm. (This will count toward hours too - so if you have a lot of kids on the team, I'd recommend one of these positions. You will learn a ton about swimming and will be able to help your child improve in so many ways!)

Thanks so much,

Your Coaches
