Good morning, Stingray families.  It looks like a nice week of weather ahead, which means a great week of swimming!

If you had pictures from the last meet against CW, we would love to see and share them.  Do so in THIS GOOGLE DRIVE.  Additionally, I have attached a photo of items left over at CW from Thursday.  Please let me know if any of these items are yours and i can arrange to have them delivered back to us.  The CW reps were very impressed with our families and our organization and were extremely thankful for the way we cleaned up even in that chaos.  Thank you all so much!

Another quick note about the CW meet:  We have received word from the league that the meet does count for the minimum 2 meets required for league finals eligibility, but the times from the meet do not count for official seeding in league meets.

TUESDAY:  HOME meet against Forsyth Country Club Crazy Ducks

We host the Crazy Ducks on Tuesday.  If you have not yet declared either available or unavailable for that meet, please do so at the green meet entry button next to the meet on the schedule ASAP.  Entries are due by 6PM tonight.  Also, please consider volunteering.  We have a huge team and need all the help we can get!

Theme:  HAWAIIAN .  Post-meet dinner at La Carreta on Peacehaven.

Practices

Morning practices will be at the normal times all week, Monday through Friday. As a reminder, 6us and Little Rays from 945-1015, 7-10s from 900-945, 11 and ups from 1000-1100.  As always, morning practices are VERY MUCH PREFERRED since we have all lanes and both cutouts for diving and little rays.

Afternoon practices will also be at their normal times on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday.  500-530 for 6us, 530-615 for 7-8, 615-700 for 9-10s, 615-715 for 11 and ups.

NOTES FROM THE HOA

1.  Everyone should have received the email access for the gates.  Some key fobs and cards are still in transit.  If you have not received your access yet, please email [email protected]

2.  The gates for morning practice are never to be propped open.

3.  Parents are not to be on deck for morning practice, but can hang out in the playground area after dropping their kids and items off on the deck.  The reasoning we received:  "The kids are having swim practice, not the parents."  

If you have any questions or concerns about these notes, please email the HOA's pool board chair at [email protected]

City meet

Just a gentle reminder that city meet entries will have a hard close on June 9th. We love this meet, so if you can attend and compete, please complete entries and orders soon.  Remember, you will select your own individual events, up to 4.

Great job, Stingrays!  Remember to get those FCC entries in, have a great day, and hopefully we'll see you at the pool!  It should be a nice one.

Thanks and Go Stingrays!
