Get Ready for the 2016 Season!!!
Volunteer sign ups for Meets work requirements will be accessible on APRIL 15th at 8:00 am.
A few things to remember:
* First come, first serve basis
* You can only sign up for ONE ribbon writer per family
* You must work three shifts for 2 or more swimmers, two shifts for two or one swimmers, and two swim and one dive shifts for swim and dive team families.
* Dive only families need to sign up for 2 dive meets
New perks this year for swimmers:
- weekly surprises for swimmers during practice
- swimmers 11 and up will be able to use fins during practice!
- 14 and 15 year olds can help with Puffin Pre Team practice. If they commit to help daily throughout the whole season, the parents of these 14 and 15 year olds, do NOT have to work during meets!!! Parents, get your 14 or 15 year old to help YOU out this summer while helping those darling little Puffins!! (please arrange this with Coaches at the beginning of the season)
- The 'Teens' (13 and up) are responsible for organizing two team gatherings after a meet. Coaches will have the dates chosen and it will be up to the teens to pick the location and to promote this fun team-building outing with the rest of the team!
PRACTICE SCHEDULES
Practice times are on a first come, first served basis during registration. If you wish to switch your practice time during the season, please note that it is a WEEKLY switch that must be requested the week BEFORE. For example, if your swimmer typically practices in the morning but will be attending a camp for a particular week, you may request that he/she can practice in the evenings for that week of camp. You MUST notify coaches the week BEFORE the desired week change. You may NOT switch practice times by days, buy only by a full week (i.e. you cannot request evening on M,T but morning on W,T). Practice space is limited. We try to keep an appropriate number in each lane so proper instruction can be given. Please note that your request is only granted based on the availability for that week. We appreciate your cooperation.
