Practice Schedule Changes  

Regular practice schedule this week of April 21

Saturday, April 26 – Elite and Senior – 7:45 AM till 9:30 AM plus weights after till 10:15 AM

 

YMCA Rules to Remember       Don’t forget your YMCA Cards; the Y is trying to scan everyone’s card. The older swimmers need to have it available – especially when they go to the Fitness Center. Bags in the locker rooms – please either put your swim bag in a locker or on top a locker. Do not leave them on the benches or countertops.  Save your Energy – at the beginning of the season, after not seeing your friends for a few weeks, we tend to use too much energy outside the pool. Lets save the energy and use it on your work out!  Lock up your stuff! Do not leave valuable in the locker rooms!

 

New Swimmers for the Summer     Have your friends call Coach Bill if they are interested in swimming for the Y this summer!!  We’ll have tryouts by appointment.  New swimmers must join the team as soon as possible!

 

Summer Schedule – On website, please check it out, a few changes from last summer.

 

YMCA CLEAN UP This past Saturday, April 19, we had over 30 BASH older swimmers clean and scrub out the outdoor pool. We are about 1 month ahead of last year, we hope to be outside swimming in early May! Thanks to all the Elite and Senior Group swimmers for cleaning in the rain on Saturday AM.
