Sailfish SCOOP - 05.24.2024

    HELLO SAILFISH FAMILY!!!!

    Can you feel it? Summer is officially in the air today. School’s out. It’s Memorial Day weekend. The pool is open. We’ve got hot dogs ready for the barbecue. (We take hot dogs very seriously in our house. Just ask Brooks. He’ll have a very frank conversation with you….)

    (Hot dog puns are the wurst.)

    (Though I do realize that some people relish them.)

    Okay - enough.  Let’s get this show on the road. Here’s your Sailfish SCOOP for today:

    MORNING PRACTICES START NEXT WEEK

    Reminder: Starting next Tuesday, May 28, we switch over to our morning practice schedule. (No practice on Monday, May 27 due to the Memorial Day holiday.) If you need to confirm your practice time, CLICK HERE.


    DECLARE YOUR SWIMMERS FOR MEETS

    Remember that email from Coach Henry asking you to get your swimmers registered for meets? (I do. I read ALL the emails.) If you’re like me, you can’t remember how to declare your swimmers, however. GOOD NEWS!!! We’ve got a webpage that tells you how. CLICK HERE and read all about it!

    As a reminder -

    FAMILIES WHO REGISTERED AFTER MAY 10

    LATE SAILFISH APPAREL ORDERS

    We've opened the SAILFISH TEAM STORE for a second round of late orders! The store will close for good on May 28! Orders will take approximately 2 1/2 weeks to arrive, and you can choose to have items shipped to the store for pickup or directly to your home.


    CALLING ALL BIG KIDS!

    RISING 7th GRADERS AND OLDER SIGN UP NOW!

    The Big Kids program is back this year and better than ever! We have a ton of fun events planned, and new ways to communicate events so you and your Big Kid can stay in the loop. If you have a Sailfish swimmer that is a rising 7th grader or older, please take the following steps: 

    1. Check out our new BIG KIDS PAGE! This will be updated as we add events throughout the year. 
    2. Fill out this GOOGLE FORM! This will ensure that both you and your Big Kids have a finger on the pulse of all things Big Kids this year. 
    3. Talk up the Big Kids program with your kids. We know they'll have a great time hanging with their friends outside the pool and we want to get them excited about it! 
    4. Not sure? Encourage your Big Kid to attend the first event. It's super chill and low commitment - stop by for a donut on the Friday of the first morning practice, 5/31.

    REMEMBER TO DROP OFF YOUR CANDY DONATIONS

    If you signed up to donate candy for the Just-For-Fun Meet, please drop off the candy at the Harvey Household (5651 S. Hanover Way) by Wednesday, May 29th.



    That’s the whole SCOOP for this afternoon.

    See you at the pool — As you know…

    LIFE IS BETTER AT THE POOL.
