Welcome to your first official week of PCST practices and our first home meet!

First Practice – Tuesday, May 31

The PCST first official daily morning practice is tomorrow, Tuesday, May 31. The practice times are both age and ability based. Please refer to Coach Frankie’s email to you about practice times for your child. If your swimmer is still in school the first week of practice, no problem, but please contact Coach Frankie. Also, remember your child needs to bring their kickboards to each daily practice.

It appears weather is going to be a challenge to start us off, so please pay attention to your emails in the morning. This is where you will find information about weather delays or cancellations for practice.

The pool grounds, with the exception of the west pavilion, are closed to those not in the pool swimming or coaching. If parents have questions for coaches, please save those for after practice or send an email. The southwest playground, located outside the pool fence, is open for use. Normandy Pool is also asking that swimmers place their belongings on the concrete deck and not the grass. A lot of the grass is new and fragile.

Welcome Back Picnic – Wednesday, June 1

The PCST Welcome Back Picnic will be held Wednesday, June 1, from 5:30pm-7pm. As of now, it appears it will be chilly, but not stormy, so we are moving forward. The Mac N Noodles food truck will be onsite as of 5pm for families wishing to order food. Some warm comfort food may do us all some good! You are also welcome to bring your own picnic dinner. We will set up on the lawn on the north side of the pool building. Bring your camp chairs and blankets. Coach Frankie will finish collecting meet entries for our first home meet which is on Saturday, June 4. We also hope Out of Breath orders will be available for pickup at this time. See you Wednesday!

First Home Meet – Saturday, June 4

The first PCST meet will be a home meet at Normandy Pool against Governor’s Ranch. The meet starts at 7am. Warm up times are by age group. The big kids warm up at 6am, the little kids warm up at 6:30am. Frankie will be collecting meet sign ups during Tuesday and Wednesday morning practices (fingers crossed) and during the welcome back event. Go Piranhas!

Volunteer Shifts

Volunteer shifts for the first home meet are now open on Swimtopia. As a reminder, they will open at 7am on Sundays (it was a little delayed this week). You must log in, go to About, and Calendar Sign Ups. Prior to any meet shifts, please check in with our volunteer coordinator, Meredith Haworth, at least 15 minutes prior to your shift start. Timer and judge meetings also occur prior to shift starts to communicate expectations and hand out watches, etc. Thank you for volunteering!

Unfortunately, concessions donations do not count as one of your shifts this year, but we are still gladly accepting donations. If you can, sign up for a concessions donation also in the Calendar Sign Up.

Chipotle PCST Fundraiser – Saturday, June 4

PCST has dinner covered for you the evening of our first meet! PCST is holding a team fundraiser at the Chipotle located at 8100 W. Crestline Ave (Wadsworth) from 4-8pm. The fundraiser flyer is attached and note the online ordering code is D3YZAGK. Please support PCST and forward to friends and family!

Pay attention to your emails in the early mornings about potential practice cancellations.

Go Piranhas!
