Hey Flippers! It is already May and the season is barreling towards us at top speed! Some updates:

• Registration will be closing soon! Please encourage your friends and neighbors to sign up. While we can add swimmers to the roster closer to the start of the season, we will place our order for t-shirts and gear soon and want to make sure we have what we need.
• New Family Mentors: We plan to pair returning swim families with new ones, offering you the chance to act as a friendly mentor this summer. Mentor families will connect with your assigned new family to answer their questions and provide support as they navigate their first season. We also encourage our returning swimmers to reach out, introduce themselves, and cheer on our newest teammates during practices and meets. New families are encouraged to reach out to their mentor families with any questions about meets or practices. The first opportunity to meet your paired family will be at our Kickoff popsicle party on May 18th. However, if you can't make it, we would still be thrilled to have you connect with your new teammates. If you do not want to participate in mentorship either as a new or returning family, please email: [email protected]. Emails pairing families will go out early next week. We truly appreciate your willingness to help make this a fun and smooth season for everyone!
• New swimmer evals: if your child has never been on a swim team before, please sign up here for swimmer evaluations on May 12 & 13. These only take about 10 minutes and will give Coach Lizzie (and you!) an opportunity to make sure your swimmer will be safe in the water. If you can’t make any of the time slots, don’t worry, your swimmer will be evaluated at the first practice you come to.
• Preseason Practice: We will have pre-season practices on May 13, 14, 19, 20, and 21 from 5:30pm-6:15pm for ages 7-10 and from 6:15pm-7:00pm for ages 11 and up. 6 & unders will practice from 5:30pm-6pm on May 14, 19, 20, 21. We may ask you to RSVP in GroupMe just so we know how many swimmers to expect.
• T-shirts: All shirts are expected to arrive the first week of regular practice (after Memorial Day). If you would like to order an additional t-shirt for yourself, grandparents, siblings, other family members, or just to have an extra (that you didn’t order when you registered), you can use this link: https://forms.gle/gQuRRNkFWYnBcxwe9
• Volunteer training: if you will be serving as a Referee, Starter, or Stroke & Turn Judge at any meet, remember that there is online training that must be completed prior to the meet you are working that job. If you don't have time to finish it, you don't have to do it all at one sitting, you can start, stop and pick up where you left off another time. You can access that here: Williamson County Swim League
• Yard signs: Just FYI, we will come around and collect yard signs after registration closes. Please don’t throw yours away unless it is too damaged to reuse next year.
• Sponsors: Please make sure to check out our sponsor page and give lots of love to our amazing sponsors!
• Questions? If you can't find answers on the website, please email us! If you have a question, it's likely someone else does too.

Go Flippers!

Thanks,

Whitney Harrington
