Sorry for the many multiple emails but it's that time of year. 

1. NO PRACTICE FRIDAY AFTERNOON! It's the last day of school and we all need a break before we get into the core of the season, so Friday is a day off practice.
2. WE STILL HAVE CRITICAL NEEDS FOR VOLUNTEERS! Please go to this link to look at remaining positions of need. As Kate noted this morning, there are still a few instances of NVSL training available (sign up sheet here). For work at the meets, we still critically need Stroke and Turn Judges and Referees (new referee training tomorrow night!). PLEASE DON'T WATCH EVERY MEET WHILE THE SAME FEW PEOPLE RUN THEMSELVES RAGGED RUNNING ALL THE MEETS. We really need to spread the load for these positions so that each person only has to work one or two meets. Those who have been filling these roles for years want to just watch a meet too. If by some miracle all the slots on the Sign Up Genius fill up, go to the training anyway. We can't have too many of these people, just too few.
3. OTHER VOLUNTEER POSITIONS: We still need a Volunteer Coordinator, B-Meet Coordinator, and Afternoon Coordinator. None of these jobs by themselves takes that much time, but if you pile them on top of everything else Kate and I do, we literally have no time to do anything but work, pool, sleep (not that much), repeat from now until August. And we mainly feed our kids ice cream from the pool. We will provide guidance and training in a friendly, supportive environment. Sign up at the same link.
4. WE STILL NEED FOLKS TO VOLUNTEER FOR THE LATER WEEKDAY LITTLE LAZERS SESSION. (This does NOT apply to those doing Little Lazers in the morning.) As noted before, we have so many Little Lazers that we are splitting the afternoon into earlier (5:30-6) and later (6:30-7) sessions. We would like to have the numbers more balanced between the 2 sessions. As noted before, if you have an older swimmer in afternoon sessions, they will be practicing until 7, so you probably have to be at the pool until then anyway. Email me if you can do the later session.
5. WATCH FOR ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR TINY LAZERS (new this year) AND INDIVIDUAL LESSONS: We are getting ourselves organized to announce a new program, Tiny Lazers (small group lessons for 2 and 3 year olds immediately following morning practice with a 2 swimmers to 1 coach ratio), and a new way to sign up for individual lessons with our great coaching staff. I will give swim team families (a brief) first shot at these sessions, but I will very soon thereafter announce to the rest of membership, so watch out for announcements as early as today or tomorrow.

Thanks!
