Practice Times for This Week

Saturday was a great day! The weather was glorious. Not too hot. Not rainy. The perfect day for time trials.

I loved listening to the new cheers mixed in with the old V-I-C-T-O-R-Y cheer. The kids were really enthusiastic about the new cheers. Loud, too! We're going to be a force to be reckoned with at Saturday's meet! A mix of old and new may be the theme for this summer's swim season.

Speaking of new...the new swimmers are a welcome addition to the Wahoos family. Welcome new swim team families!

Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday

Have your swimmer bring a white t-shirt to Thursday's practice for tie dyeing. An old West Howard Wahoos shirt would work perfectly.

Update from Coach Jill & Swim Team Reps

Congratulations Wahoos on your 266-220 victory over South Carroll! Swimmers of the week are posted on the bulletin board. Thanks to all the swimmers, parent volunteers, and fans who persevered through the rain!

A few reminders for this week that are **VERY IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER!**

1. Now that school is out practices switch to mornings. Don’t forget Friday is Donut Day! All swimmers who complete practice will get a donut. Due to supply we cannot give donuts to moms/dads or younger nonswimming siblings.

2. Sign up NOW for the Relay Meet at Andover which is THIS SUNDAY located on the bulletin board. Sign your swimmer (and family) TODAY! If we do not have enough swimmers signed up we will have to withdraw from the meet. Please sign up!

3. Look for information regarding a novice meet against Cattail Country Club in July.

4. If you will not be swimming in a meet Coach Jill needs to know by the Wednesday before the meet. Contact her directly at springerjc@comcast.net.

5. If you can not fulfill your volunteer assignment or bring your assigned food item to a meet, please try to ask a friend to help you out. Swim Team is counting on YOUR assigned obligations.

6. If you are volunteering at a later shift please be on time, remember you are relieving someone.

7. Always check the bulletin board and West Howard blog for upcoming information.

Practice is scheduled for every afternoon this week in preparation for time trials on Saturday, June 13.

The weather for this week is not ideal, but practice is scheduled for each afternoon unless notified by the swim team coach/committee of a practice cancellation. Swim team parents will be informed of practice cancellation via e-mail. The weather for this week from http://www.weather.com/ is as follows:

Monday, June 8 -- High of 85, Low of 67, Isolated thunderstorms
