Good Morning Gators,

Well the time has finally come and tomorrow we will begin the Summer 2018 season. Myself and the rest of the coaching staff are looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow. Just a few notes and reminders for the start of the season:

1. If you have not registered already please make sure to do so as soon as possible. In addition to registering please complete your Meet RSVPs- this is equally important for coaches as it is for our wonderful volunteer coordinators. 

2. Please sign up for the RainedOut text notification system if you have not already. We use this service to send time sensitive reminders and updates throughout the season- mainly for weather purposes. Looking ahead to this week, it looks like we could be putting the system to use very quickly, so please sign up today. Go to rainedout.com and search "Avalon Gator Swim Team" and click the link. It will take you to a page where you will enter your phone number/email- whichever way you'd like to receive messages. Be on the lookout for a 'test' text sent later today.

3. With the weather this past week (and potential this coming week) and the refilling of the pools, please be prepared for the water to be cold. Temperatures will determine how much water time we will have. We will not be spending excessive time in the pool if it's too cold for the kids. We will spend the other practice time doing dryland exercises and icebreaker team building games. 

4. Our Parents' Meeting is set for Wednesday May 30th at 7pm under the Pavilion. I hope you all will be able to join us. 

5. I've copied the preseason practice schedule here for a reference. Mini-Mites will start Tuesday May 22nd at 3:45. We will be doing evaluations on a rolling basis over the 1st weeks.

Keep your fingers crossed for drier weather this week! Looking forward to tomorrow. Please do not hesitate to email me with any questions.

Coach Katie
