PRACTICE RULES

We are loving the energy and positivity on the pool deck at our first week of practices! Summer FUN is officially back at Sundance!

Unfortunately, the fun can quickly be done when safety is at risk. We're asking that your swimmer(s) depart the pool deck after practice to ensure a safe environment for all. There are no lifeguards on duty during practices nor supervision in surrounding areas and our coaches are focused on the swimmers in the pool. 

Thanks so much for being mindful of this important safety rule.

REVIEW & SIGN THE SAILFISH PLEDGE

Please ensure you and your swimmer(s) review the Sailfish Pledge together as a family and sign a copy. We ask that you plan to deliver your signed copy to the front desk at a morning practice or a coach at any afternoon practice. All pledges are due before regular season begins on Tuesday, May 26.

(There’s a .pdf of the pledge form attached to this email if you need a new copy to sign.)

Since we’ve got only a few items in tonight’s scoop, I’ve got a Sailfish joke to share with all of you:

Q: Why should you never try to debate with a sailfish?

A: They always have the sharpest points.

That’s all the SCOOP for this evening, Sailfish.

Life is better at the pool!
