Happy Friday!

Hope you have a fun weekend planned!

Here are some IMPORTANT announcements and reminders:

• SLAMMIN’ STINGRAY SOCIAL! Friday, October 21st after practice (5:30-7:30) in the KVY gym: With so many new faces this year, we want to have a beginning-of-the-season social event, so swimmers can become teammates and friends. Our Social Team has planned a fun, after-practice event in the gym for swimmers including: Pizza, Snacks, Music and Games! This is a great opportunity for our swimmers to get to know each other as we kick off a new season. To ensure that we order enough pizza, please go to our website (kvystingrays.com) and RSVP for your swimmer(s). 

• New Parent Q&A Session: Are you new to the Stingrays and still have some questions about how things work? Coach Mike and a few members of the Stingray Steering Committee will be hosting a Q&A session on Wednesday Oct 19th @ 6:30pm in the Studio at the Y.  Bring your questions-We will bring answers. 

• “Pool Protocol”: As you know, practices are BUSY . . . Here are a few fun phrases you can pass along to your new swimmers to improve their experience:
  • “Feet to Flags” Swimmers should wait until the swimmer’s feet in front of them pass the flags before leaving the wall (unless sent by a coach)
  • “Fast is First” Swimmers should organize their lanes with the fastest swimmer first, next fastest, etc. to avoid running over another swimmer/collisions

• Registration: We are a month into the new season! If your swimmer is swimming, or if they plan to swim this season, it’s time to register for the Stingrays at the front desk. We want to be sure everyone is registered and in the system well before our first meet, which is not that far away.

As always, happy to field and questions, concerns, etc.

See you at the pool!
