HELLO SAILFISH FAMILY!!!

Great job at the meet today! Although CCV came out on top, the score was close and we were back-and-forth in the lead for the entire meet. Our swimmers gave it their all and represented our community well. We all should be very proud of that. 

I tried to get a few CCV parents to give me Viking jokes to share with you all this evening, but they weren’t very receptive to the idea. One said that Viking jokes were such a specialty “there’s Norway we’d understand.” Another said he would go to his car to get his joke book to share, but the next thing I saw was him driving away in his F-150. (That’s a Fjord truck, don’t you know.) Go figure. So, I guess we’ll skip the Viking jokes tonight and get right to it. 

Here’s your SCOOP for this evening:

SIGN UP FOR TEAM PHOTOS  (UPDATED INFORMATION BELOW)

Sailfish!!! If you didn’t do it after today’s meet, get your hair done before our team photos. But move fast! You will want to look your best on Tuesday, June 25!!! Here some NEW  INFO you need to know - and a sign-up at the end.

• The photography company has made some changes how they do team photos. There will not be a group photo taken on Tuesday. Each of the individual photos will be combined to create a composite group photo. 
• In light of this change, we were able to add a few extra time slots to the schedule. Ideally, this will make it easier for those swimmers who are scheduled to attend a camp or other activity on Tuesday. We are adding slots between 7:40-8:00 am and 8:00-8-20 am. If you have already signed up and would like to move to an earlier slot, Sign-Up Genius will allow you to change your sign up. Please don’t create a new one - change your existing.
• Board members’ swimmers will have their photos taken between 7:25-7:40 am. NOTE: Other swimmers - Please do NOT arrive early as we will not be able accommodate additional swimmer photos at this time 
• Please send your swimmers for their photo in either their team suit or a yellow Sundance t-shirt.
• We will not have regular practices on this day.
• All swimmers - Mudskippers through 18 year olds - should have their photo taken. Your swim team registration includes a 5x7 individual picture and an 8x10 team picture.

SIGN UP HERE for your swimmer’s photo slot.
