Welcome back!
Crocs,
Only a few days left until we meet back at the pool– I hope y'all are as excited as I am!!!
For those of you joining us for the first time this summer, welcome! My name is Abby Lowe, and I'm the head coach this year. I've been with the team since 2003 when I started as a swimmer, which makes this my 17th total year with WCST and my 6th summer as a coach. The fact that I'm still around all these years later should be a testament to how much I absolutely love this team, and I hope you'll love spending your summer with us :)
Just a couple of reminders before the first week of practice...
Regular team practice will begin this Tuesday May 28th on the following schedule:
11&up
9-10:00 am Monday-Friday
7-8:00 pm Monday-Thursday
10&under
10-11:00 am Monday-Friday
6-7:00 pm Monday-Thursday
*Everyone needs to practice with the age group they will compete in.
PRE-TEAM WILL NOT BEGIN UNTIL MONDAY JUNE 3RD.
Once pre-team starts, we will practice daily (Mon-Fri) from 11-11:30 am until the end of June.
Swimmers are welcome to practice twice a day, but that is by no means expected. Most swimmers only attend one practice per day. With that said, we strongly encourage everyone to attend practice in the morning when we have all six lanes. In the evenings the pool stays open to the neighborhood, so we can only use half the pool. To keep the lanes from being too crowded, those practices should be primarily for those who are unable to swim in the morning due to camps, other sports, etc.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out or find me at the pool! I'm not quite finished with school until next Friday, so I will only be at practice on Tuesday/Wednesday this first week, but you can still text or email me any time.
Enjoy your Memorial Day Weekend and I'll see you very soon!
Coach Abby
