PARK VILLAGE SWIM TEAM NEWSLETTER
June 1, 2023

Thanks for taking the time to read through ALL of these key points for the start of the season!  You can find details on the Website, or reach out to [email protected].

Practice Updates/Communication: If for any reason practice will need to be cancelled, you will receive communication via Swimtopia (text/email message). Weather changes frequently, so practice changes maybe made from hour to hour. Coaches hope to not have to cancel practice for any reason.

• “Dry Land” will be done for most practice's, including stretching and teambuilding. This is NEW for Park Village this season, and will help condition swimmers and prepare them for pool time. Regular “Dry Land” for practice may require sneakers for warm up, so please bring if you are able. Coaches will communicate any changes to a normal swim practice that might not include Pool Time (weather permitting).
• Practice Schedule

DECLARE YOUR SWIMMER: This is required for each meet to ensure we are able to place swimmers in events/relays. This must be done by Thursday before each meet. Please do this TODAY for the Mock Meet – Tues, June 6^th (more details to come for the meet).

• Log into the website, Select Meet Date, next to the meet date, select meet entry, accept or decline if your swimmer will be there. If you are unsure, accept, so we have a space for your swimmer.
• For future meets, if you already know, you can do this for all meets, and forget it for the season!

Register for Meet Volunteer Positions – Running meets takes all the support from all parents/volunteers. You can register for positions by clicking on the meets and choosing the roles you would like (all meets are posted). Please let us know if you have any questions.

Stroke and Turn Judges – we will need 1-2 stroke and turn judges at each meet. This requires training and there are a few ways to get this. Please see the information on this page. Please let [email protected] know if you are completing this. This role cannot be done at a meet without training.

JR COACHES: If your swimmer would like to be included in with the JR Coaching program, please complete the FORM with information.

GEAR:

• NEW SUITS: Please be sure to get your team suit from All American Swim (if you have the option to drop in during the day, they are not as busy)
• SUIT EXCHANGE: If you have past team suits sitting around that are in great condition, and you would like to swap/donate, please complete this FORM and follow instructions. Great way to reuse suits that maybe in great condition (along with kids growing so fast!)
• T-shirts and swim caps for the team will be distributed next week (Mock Meet).
• PARENT TEAM GEAR can be purchased, please check out the options – all swimmers will receive their shirt included with registration.

SPONSORS: We are still looking for sponsors, so if you have a company that would be interested, we have ranges from $200 - $1000. This will help support our coaching staff!

• We are implementing a "Swimmer of the Week" program, and would love to have a sponsor for this ($300). If you would like to be involved, please let us know!

Please reach out with any questions! We hope you have enjoyed the first few days of practice, even though the pool is chilly! We are looking forward to seeing everyone at the pool. Send out the SUN!
