Happy Friday! We are 3 days from the start of our swim season! If you haven't signed up yet (or have friends who haven't signed up yet) it's not too late! Get those registrations turned in asap! 

Pancake Breakfast: Our first official practice of the summer is Monday morning, May 30th. We will have a pancake breakfast and a fun practice that morning. There will not be evening practice on Monday. Regular practice schedule will resume on Tuesday, May 31st. We still have some items needed for the pancake breakfast- please sign up for what you are bringing online (on our website under "meet schedule"). Feel free to drop anything off at the pool this weekend or Monday morning!

Practice Sign-ups: We are not requiring sign-ups for all practices this summer, but for planning purposes, we are asking that anyone planning to attend the 11:15-12:00 practice (8 and unders) or the 5:00-6:00 evening practices to please sign up so that we can ensure we have enough coaches planned for each session. This weeks link to sign up is: https://signup.com/go/NfYeHNj

Field Day- Friday June 3: We are planning our first ever Field Day event! We have some fun games planned, but would love everyone that is attending that to please sign up so that we know how to divide up all of our kids into teams. We will send out what color your child's team is in advance of field day. Sign up online under swim meets to declare your attendance. We also need some parent volunteers to ensure the day runs smoothly. Sign up as a volunteer under swim meets as well! 

Remind App: We will be utilizing the Remind App this summer as a method of communication along with emails. Emails will still be our primary information tool, but we are adding remind to communicate more time sensitive items-- for example practices that may be canceled due to weather. We have 2 groups-- 10 and unders and 11 and older swimmers. Please sign up for text messages for the age group your swimmer is in. To join, text the following code to 81010. 

• 10 and under code: b724agg11 
• 11 and up code is 9674hd7

Amazon Wish List:  Thank you to those of you who have bought some items on our Amazon Wish List for us! As we start the season, there are lots of office supplies and other items that we need to successfully run the season. If anyone would like to donate any of the following items on our wish list before we buy them with team funds, we would so appreciate that! It helps keep our fees lower each year. GMST Amazon Wishlist

T-shirts: If you ordered shirts in the first wave from Pokeys- they are in and can be picked up at the Pancake Breakfast or afterward at the pool. All remaining shirt orders need to be submitted to Pokey's by May 31! 

We can't wait to see everyone next week!
