Weather Report: Wahoos Swim Except with Thunder and Lightning

Weather Reports are saying there is a chance of rain tomorrow and several parents have asked what happens when it rains - we swim on! 

 

Officials will delay a meet if there is thunder or lightning but we try not to cancel.  So, come prepared for rain or shine! Please report to South Carroll at 7:45 for warmups.

 

You might want to pack a windbreaker/light rain jacket for each kid. Bring extra towels, change of clothing, etc., in case of rain delays.

 

For up-to-date weather information, click "Weather in Woodbine" on this blog.

Putting the Loss Behind Us: Gearing up for Two Swim Meets This Week

After a tough, hard fought meet v. Springlake, Wahoos gear up for swim meets this coming week.

The score for the Springlake meet was 262 to 224. Wahoos were missing swimmers in a few age groups. Relays had to be shuffled to make up for the absence of swimmers.

Wahoos moms and dads may have noticed the "pool photographers" in action at swim meets. Jill B. -- mom Julia, Jessica, and James -- will be taking individual photos of each swimmer for this blog and the end-of-season slideshow during the meets and during practice. She will also take candid shots of kids at meets. Note: If you requested that your child not be photographed, I will not post your child's photo on this blog, but I will include it in the slideshow.

Rita W. -- mom of Justin -- and Stacie S. -- mom to Morgan and D.J. -- will take action shots otherwise known as "Wow, I can see every single drop of water or bubble as that swimmer does his turn!" as they did last year. Thank you Rita and Stacie! Look out for photo collages in the coming weeks.

On Wednesday, July 7, Wahoos will swim against neighborhood swim club -- Cattail Creek. The meet begins at 6 p.m. with warmups at 5 p.m. This meet is not a CMSL-sanctioned meet.

On Saturday, July 10, Wahoos will swim at South Carroll. The meet begins at 9 a.m. with warmups at 8 a.m.

Go Wahoos!
