Hello Water Jets Families - We have reached the end of week one. So far it seems like the kids are really enjoying themselves! This is a another long email - but we have lots of updates and reminders so please read on! 

Please do remember that this is swim team and not swim lessons. And while you will likely see an improvement in your child's swimming abilities in the coming weeks - if you feel at any point like this is not what you expected please come and talk to a board member. We can discuss with you and the coach if your child is ready for the team or if we need to wait till next year. Remember, this is supposed to be FUN and above all SAFE for all kiddos! 

HOLIDAY: Reminder there's NO PRACTICE THIS MONDAY - 5/27. We are off for the Memorial Day holiday. We hope you have a great weekend celebrating with your family. 

VOLUNTEERING: In case you need a reminder about what meets you volunteered for.... it's very easy to check! Simply log into Swimtopia and click your name in the upper right corner. Then click "My Account" and you will see your slots. If you can no longer volunteer for a slot you signed up for - you need to trade with a friend or neighbor. We've attached a report of who is volunteering at each meet so you can ask around. Please email [email protected] and let us know who/when you swapped and we'll make the change in the back end of the system. *For the mock meet - we are aware there are a few volunteer slot errors :-/ 

MEET AVAILABILITY FOR EVERY MEET: While you are in your Swimtopia account - please be sure to go in and mark your swimmers meet availability for EACH MEET.  This helps us tremendously when making the heat sheets!

• Click "meets and events" tab
• Click "sign up calendar"
• Click "meet entry" 
• Under your kids name select "edit" and change their status from "undeclared" to either "attending" OR "not attending" for every single meet. We don't want anyone listed as undelcared. We need to know if you are in or out ;-) 

WEATHER ISSUES: If there's inclement weather (and there WILL BE!) - please keep watch on your email. That's how we will communicate if we are on a thunder delay / cancelled etc. This is the email list we will use. If your spouse/grandparent etc is not on the list - please go into the account in Swimtopia and add them as a "parent" to make sure they get the notification emails.

DRINK DONATIONS: Please don't forget we still need drink donations! Listed below is the suggested drink per age group, this helps tremendously to cut cost and help our team! Please drop off cases of drinks (12oz or more) to 1406 Coachman Drive before 6/3/19.

• SHRIMPERS AND 7-8’S – Cases of Water
• 9-10’s and 11-12’s – 12 oz Cases of Gatorades
• 13 and up – Soda (Pepsi, Coke products)

TACO WEDNESDAY: Save the date for Wednesday, May 29^th 4-8pm – we will have a fundraising dinner at Salsaritas at Blakeney where a percentage of the sales will go to the Water Jets. See the attached flyer. Simply tell the cashier that you are there to support the Hunter Oaks Water Jets and a percentage of proceeds will benefit our team.

PUTT-PUTT: The Mr. Putty's coupon you received this week is from Coach Chris. He would love for the Water Jets to come visit his putt putt course! Please know that this weekend they have a big championship and will be closed to the public. Make plans to visit later this summer!

That's all for now! Have a great holiday weekend.
