Hi Bearden Swimmers!

What a great first practice Tuesday evening! Thank you to all who attended the parent meeting, and I can send you a copy of the handout if you weren't able to be there and would like one. I will be at the beginning of practice tonight to take sport's physical forms and fees. Ben and Sam will be at the scheduling meet (YAY!) so Glen and Abby will be running our fantastic practice this evening! Swimmers, come ready to work!

We will be closing the sign ups for the scrimmage tomorrow afternoon so go ahead and sign up today. The coaches need time to get the meet together so each meet we will close RSVP time a couple of days before the meet. Job sign ups will stay open. Most swimmers will swim all the strokes this meet, but you are welcome to put a "note" to the coaches when RSVPing if there's a concern. Also, if your swimmer is in events they don't feel comfortable swimming, we recognize that this meet is super early with only two days of practice. We want them to feel comfortable, have fun and gain confidence. Just talk with a coach if they are struggling. We do hope, though, that it's an opportunity for them to push themselves. And we will have plenty of time for them to feel comfortable in the water before meets start! 

Please arrive at Gettysvue Pool around 5:15 on Sunday. We will start announcing the "Houses" around 5:30. We will also announce the winner of who guessed the closest amount of gummy bears in the jar at Bearden's club fair. That person will get to run a practice! Gettysvue will have a snack bar and also have a buffet with burgers, tenders and fries for $12/adults and $9/kids. They will take cash. So no need to worry about dinner Sunday night! 

See you at practice tonight!
