Sailfish SCOOP - Wednesday, May 21, 2025
HELLO SAILFISH FAMILY!!!
HAPPY HUMPDAY!!!
HAPPY (ALMOST) END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR!!!
(Speaking of which, why did the teacher jump into the water? Read to the end to find out…)
And MOST importantly…
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF OUR CCHS GRADUATES WHO GRADUATED THIS MORNING AND ALL OTHERS GRADUATING THIS YEAR!!!
WE ARE SO VERY PROUD OF ALL OF YOU!!!
Now - On to the SCOOP…
DECLARE YOUR SWIMMERS FOR THE FUN MEET
AND AWAY MEET AT HOMESTEAD
It’s time to declare your swimmers for our first meets! (How exciting is that!)
JUST-FOR-FUN MEET
Wednesday, May 28, 5:30 PM
This is our practice meet - short and sweet. We run a limited set of races to give our swimmers some racing experience in a low-pressure setting. Swimmers should sign up for TWO races - Freestyle and another stroke of their choice. We will not swim relays at this event. (We’ll also be eating lots of pizza from Stefano’s and have a GREAT candy bar for swimmers after their races. See below.)
AWAY MEET AT HOMESTEAD
Saturday, May 31, 8:00 AM
Our first “real” meet of the season. (Somehow our away meets at Homestead always bring snow and chilly temps. Let’s hope for warm weather this year!)
HOW TO REGISTER: Look 🚨 HERE 🚨 for all the directions you need.
DEADLINE for declarations for both meets is next Tuesday, May 27, at 12 noon.
(This give you time to speak to your coaches at practices on Tuesday morning if you are unsure about which events you should swim at either meet.)
(Deadlines for subsequent Saturday meets will be the preceding Monday at 12 noon.)
REVISED PRACTICE SCHEDULE THIS WEEK
School is (almost) out for the summer! Friendly reminder that our afternoon practice schedule will only take place Monday - Wednesday this week due to conflicts with the pool on Thursday and the pool re-opening on Friday. We will start our REGULAR MORNING PRACTICE SCHEDULE on Tuesday, May 27.
(Hold tight, Mudskippers. Your practices will begin on Friday, May 30.)

LAST CHANCE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR BIG FISH 🐟 LITTLE FISH PROGRAM!
It’s back… and better than ever! We’re thrilled to continue Big Fish/Little Fish program this swim season! This fun and optional buddy program is open to all competing swimmers—from our 6 & under group to our seasoned swimmers—and it’s an awesome way to build friendships, pump up team spirit, and cheer each other on across age groups!
Here are the highlights: both Big Fish and Little Fish are encouraged to cheer each other on at practices and meets. But Big Fish, it’s your time to shine! You’ll be a mentor, a cheerleader, and a role model—showing what it means to be a great teammate. If you're not sure you can commit to that role, no worries—just sit this one out!
A quick note to parents: We’re keeping it simple and sweet this year—no gifts, please! This program is all about building connections, having fun, and showing support, not spending money. Let’s keep the focus on encouragement and team spirit!
How to Participate:
- Fill out THIS FORM by May 23rd for each swimmer who wants to participate!
- Keep an eye on your inbox—we’ll send Big Fish/Little Fish matches by May 27th.
- Once you’re matched, watch the newsletter for fun (and totally free!) weekly ideas and mini-challenges to make the most of the experience!
BIG FISH: Must be 10 or older and ready to cheer, lead, and inspire
LITTLE FISH: Ages 6–9—just let us know if they’d like to join the fun
