Volunteering

Thank you to those who have signed up for multi shift volunteer positions. There are a few still available for those interested. Meredith would love a partner as a volunteer coordinator and the computer table is located in the shade. The last Stroke and Turn Judge training is Tuesday, May 23, at 6pm at Governor’s Ranch. This is a deck training to see the strokes in action. The first set of weekly volunteer shifts will open May 28. Any outstanding volunteer deposit checks are due by May 31 in order for your swimmer to participate in the first meet.

First Morning Practice and First Meet

The first regular morning practices will be Tuesday, May 30. Practice times are listed on Swimtopia. Unless Coach Frankie has directly told your swimmer otherwise, the age group practice times listed are the practices to attend. Coach Frankie will be collecting meet entries for the June 3 Woodbourne meet during practice and at the welcome back picnie.

Welcome Back Picnic

We look forward to seeing you at the Welcome Back Picnic on Wednesday, May 31, from 5:30-7:00pm at Normandy Pool. There will be a pizza food truck, team t-shirts to tie dye (for those of you who registered by May 1 and response received regarding shirt size) and Out of Breath orders from the first team store.

Upcoming

The first swim meet is June 3 at Woodbourne. Team photos and Pirates Cove are scheduled for the following Wednesday, June 7, starting at 7:30am. In lieu of practice that day, PCST will meet as a team at Pirate’s Cove at 10am. Look for more details regarding photos and Pirates Cove in later updates.
