Thank you to everyone for their assistance with Time Trials on Tuesday night. The Pizza Sale/Bake Sale was a huge success!
Morning practices begin Monday June 11th and evening practice times shift to 30 minutes later. Please remember that we do not have practice on Wednesday mornings after Tuesday night meet.
June 12th - Our first dual meet is at Sunset Ridge. Please refer to the Red Book for a map & directions. Be there and ready to get in the water for warm-ups at 5:30. Parking is an issue in their neighborhood, so I suggest carpooling with other swimmers.
Note: The Big Whale/Little Whale assignment sheet is posted on the bulletin board. Big Whales, when you arrive at Sunset Ridge, please find your Little Whale’s name on the Roster and be ready for their events.
Swim caps will be for sale at Sunset Ridge – see Kelley Stephens if you need one that night.
Volunteer Sign-in at Sunset Ridge – We don’t know exactly where the sign-in table will be, but please look for a table with a red tablecloth and sign in so that you get your nametag and we get you entered in the gift card raffle.
Website Information: Bob Poliachik graciously volunteers his time to keep our website running. He updates the website 3-4 times per week with the latest Killer Whales Message, Meet Times, and News. A Weekly Message page has been added. All messages for the summer will be archived on the website. If you misplaced your Red Book, you can print a new Red Book off the website. Lastly, pool records have been updated with all current information. Check out www.svkw.com
Got Spiritwear? Pick up your pre-ordered spiritwear items from table on June 19th (our next home meet). Don’t forget to buy tattoos, buttons, t-shirts, shorts, bags & hoodies to show your “Killer Whale” Spirit.
Going Krogering? Please remember to use your Kroger gift cards (and reload them often) when you shop at Kroger. The swim team receives 5% of the reloaded amount. If you need a new card or your first card, please email Kelley Stephens kelleystephens@nc.rr.com
Reminder – the Swim Team Banquet has been changed to Friday, July 20th. at Apex UMC from 7-9 pm. Stay tuned for further details.
