Hi everyone, I was really happy with our practices last week both with our coaches and swimmers.  Really great job!  On to the next week with TERRIBLE weather ahead.

Clemmons West Meet (AWAY)

The current forecast calls for a high of 62 degrees with rain on Tuesday.  Even with CW's heated pool, that air temp is not reasonable for a swim meet.  If that is still the forecast tomorrow morning, we will likely postpone the meet until Thursday.  As of now, plan on swimming Tuesday, but really expect to swim on Thursday.  

PLEASE DECLARE YOUR SWIMMERS' AVAILABILITY, whether available or unavailable.  You can do this up until 6PM today for Tuesday.  If we postpone, you can still change until 6PM Tuesday for Thursday.  Reminder:  you can declare availability for the whole season now and the availabilities can always be changed up until the deadline.  Meet entries and jobs signups are available at the GREEN button next to the event on the event schedule.  After 6PM today (or Tuesday), any changes will need to be made by texting Jeremy at 336-416-2496.  For league meets, we do not have the same flexibility for late minute additions as we did for time trials, so any later adds are far from guaranteed.

Our theme for the CW Meet is WEAR RED.  The post-meet dinner will be at Dairi-O in Clemmons.

PRACTICE SCHEDULE

Weather is going to really mess with us this week, so please keep an eye out for changes via email and text.  Reminder:  Morning practices are always preferred, as we have the pool to ourselves.  In the afternoon, we only have 4 lanes and neither the deep end or the shallow cut-out.  As of now, this is the practice schedule for this week:

Mornings

Tuesday through Friday (Fun Friday)

7-10 year olds from 9-945, 6 and unders and Little Rays are from 945-1015, and 11 and ups from 10am-11am.  On Thursday, we will be hosting a TYDE clinic that will focus on starts, turns, and breaststroke.  Please consider attending.

Evenings

Just Wednesday and Thursday.  If the meet moves to Thursday, we obviously will not have practice that evening.

6 and unders from 5-530, 7-8s from 530-615, 9-10s from 615-700, 11 and ups from 615-715.

Caps and Merch

The personalized caps and extra silicone caps have arrived.  The current plan is to pass them out at the meet on Tuesday, but we will likely have another day this week to pass them out at practice, along with any team shirts and ordered merch that has not yet been distributed.

Swimmers of the Week

Sullivan Rose

Coach William says: "Sully had an amazing 25 backstroke at Time Trials and is a great listener!"

Thea Landwehr

Coach Claire says: "Thea has been working really hard and always wants to get better!"

Maggie El-Beshti

Coach Paige says:  "Maggie went from not being able to swim strokes, to being able to dive, do all 4 strokes, and do 50s.  She always has a great attitude and is always ready to swim!"

Olivia Mitchell

Coach Reese says:  "Olivia progressed from Little Rays to the 6 and under group.  She is super enthusiastic and worked hard to get her qualifying 25."

Coach Will says:  "Andrew is always ready to swim, enthusiastic, and tries really hard.  He is always excited for practice!"

Thanks again everyone and keep an eye out for weather-related changes this week.

Go Stingrays!
