Hello SPAR Families,

What a wonderful first week of practices. It was so nice to see friends from last summer and meet new swimmers. Parents - you are raising good kids! They listen, are willing to learn, and take direction well. 

For the upcoming week:

Practice will be Mon- Thur, 5:30-7:30 pm. We will continue to work on Freestyle and Backstroke. You will see some Breaststroke technique being introduced. We will work on Dives and Turns. If you feel that your swimmer will benefit from seeing a video of their swimming during practice, by all means, come on deck and record them. Sometimes what they think and feel is different from what the coach is instructing. 

I will continue to get in the water with my little swimmers. 

For those of you who got team shirts tonight, please put your swimmers name in the collar with sharpie.

Looking ahead:

This weekend you will sign your swimmer up for events for our first meet on June 1st. For new swimmers, consider swimming the freestyle events. On Mon May 29th coaches will go over sign ups. There have been times where the coaches have made changes to the swimmer sign ups. We also create the relays at this time. Parents simply mark whether or not you want a swimmer to participate in a relay. A swim meet will run about 3 hours (sometimes 4). Swim Meets will typically start at 6 pm.

I'm asking the HOA if we can have morning practice on Memorial day, Mon May 29th. If it is approved, we will not have afternoon practice that day. 

I hope this week is a good week for you. 9 more school days. We got this.

See you at the Pool, Coach Kim
