June 27 Update

Hello WST Swimmers and Families,

We’ve had a wet and thunderous last few days, but we’re crossing our fingers for blue skies and sunshine the rest of the summer!  Thanks so much for everyone who came prepared and ready to help out on Tuesday: it was a great practice run.  We have rescheduled the meet for July 11 and we hope the delay won’t dampen the fervor!  There is a sign up sheet on the bulletin board to re-enter swimmers for the meet.  Because we didn’t actually start the meet, swimmers who were not originally entered are now eligible.  However, we don’t want to assume previously entered swimmers are still available to swim so please sign up each attending swimmer.

This Sunday is the Icebreaker Invitational in Springfield.  The first session of warmups runs from 8:00-9:30 and afternoon session of warmups run from 12:00-1:30.  We do not yet know which particular slot we’ll have, so be on the lookout for an email with specific times.  For those attending, here is a link to directions on the SVSL website: http://svslvt.org/Directions/CRVSSpringfield%20Directions.html

In the future, directions to all SVSL pool locations can be found here.

Suits are now in for those who ordered them.  A number of people picked up their suits before the meet but if you have not, talk to the coaches and they will get you your new suit!

Our first week has been excellent and we are excited for what the season holds.  We have 99 registered swimmers after one week, marking the largest WST team in recent memory!  Even though there’s quite a few of them, the kids of all been exceptional and if our drill-meet on Tuesday is any indication it seems that parents are also going to be great about stepping up to the plate this season.

Please continue to let us know if and when questions arise, we’ll be happy to respond to any queries!

Happy Swimming,

Maddie, Sam, and Nicola
