Week of August 30 Update

 

Hello Pisces,

Our first practice is a week or so away. Where does the time go? If we have not received your registration, please contact us before our tryouts this Thursday the 2nd. We need to have our hard numbers before the tryouts on Thursday. If we do not here from you, we cannot guarantee a spot on the team after Thursday.

We recently learned from the Town of Trumbull that we can only have the pool until 7:30pm on Tuesdays. In the past we had the pool until 8:30pm. Therefore we needed to make practice schedule changes. We will be utilizing UB for additional swim time. G1 and G2 will practice at UB on Fridays. Mike and Shane have developed a super schedule. This is the practice schedule for the fall/winter. The calender will be posted on the web this week.

G1 will practice:

Monday-Hillcrest-5-6pm

Tuesday-Hillcrest-5-6pm

Wed.-Hillcrest-5-6pm

Fri.-UB 4:15-5:15pm

*included in the G1 practice will be 15 minutes of dryland, followed by 45 minutes of practice.

G2 will practice:

Monday-Hillcrest-5:45-7pm

Tuesday-Hillcrest-6-7:30pm

Wednesday-Hillcrest 5:45-7pm

Tips For New Parents:

1. Check your email daily. This is the quickest way for us to communicate late-breaking news, announcements, and the last-minute cancellations. Also check the website, TrumbullPisces.org, and your swimmer's file folder.

2. Label all swimmer items. Be sure to label your swimmer's caps, swimsuits, goggles, towels, etc. to ensure that they are returned to you if they are left behind.

3. Do not allow swimmers to bring valuables to practices or meets. This includes gameboys, jewelry, watches, and money. Many people have access to unattended bags left on the deck as well as in the locker room, and the best way to prevent a valuable from getting stolen is not to bring it in the first place.

4. Volunteer. Timers, ribbon writers, and scorers are needed for every Nutmeg meet. All parents are asked to do their fair share to make the program a success. Times are also needed at USA meets based on the number of swimmers attending. All training will be provided, and volunteering is a great way to get involved and learn more about your child's sport.
