WHAT TO DO IF YOU KNOW YOUR CHILD WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE TO SWIM ON SATURDAY!

Please let me, Coach Eric and Jenn Auroux (Team Automation Coordinator - jenn1029@hotmail.com) by WED AT THE LATEST!  We have a limited ability to make changes to our lineup after Thursday so the better information we have the better we can set the lineup for Saturday and include all the eligible swimmers in the meet.

WHEATON WOODS TIGER SWIM TEAM WEBLOG ADDRESS

Starting today, I will begin to update this log with the information in this email plus we will start posting the lineup for all meets, posting the results from the A meets and showing highlights from each week's meets.

TEAM PICTURE DAY

We will have Classic Photography at WWP on Thursday, June 27th to take our team picture and individual pictures.  The start time will be announced shortly but we will take the pictures in the afternoon, first the individual/family pictures then the entire team (see last years version on the outside fence at the pool).  I would very much appreciate if EVERYONE would make an effort to make it to the pool that day to be included in the team picture.

SWIM SUITS AVAILABLE AT SIGNIFICANT DISCOUNTS

We have several suits, mostly girls, in last years pattern from Speedo, available for sale at less than 50% of the price from last season.  Please email me or the general pool email address (wwpool1@gmail.com) if you are interested in trying on the suits.  For this season, if one of these suits do not fit, we are asking the kids to where an all black suit if they have one.  In addition, I still have several swim caps available.  Each child should have received one with a completed and paid registration. Make sure to get one!
