Greetings Neely Farm Mallards!

Another great week in the books, and the water temp (as well as the swimming) has really started to heat up!!!  I continue to be amazed at all of the hard work and outstanding team spirit that I am seeing on a daily basis.  On Thursday we conducted our Time Trials, and the entire coaching staff was very pleased with all the terrific racing that we saw.  The coaches noticed a lot of improvement in our swimmers from where we started, and also very importantly we were able identify areas that still need a little fine-tuning prior to our first meet of the season.

With that said, here is a list of important reminders:

• First meet of the season will be Thursday (5/30) at Haynes Landing.  Information regarding the RSVP process for meets as well as general meet information will be sent out shortly
• No practice on Memorial Day (5/27)
• During swim practice, only swimmers in that practice session should be in the pool.  Younger swimmers are welcome to splash around in the baby pool, but should STAY OUT of the main pool.  This is to limit distractions, and for the general safety of all swimmers. (Parent support is appreciated!)
• It is important for parents to stay clear of the pool area during practice as this too can be very distracting for swimmers and coaches

I hope that everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend, and we will look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday as we get prepared for our first meet of the season!

Thanks,

-Coach Josh
