Blue Wave Families,

We can't believe that swim season is almost upon us! Practice starts next Monday, June 2nd (!), and there's lots of important information in this email, so please read on...

Hopefully by now, you've received the email from GRD with the announcement about the adjusted practice time: it is now 8:45-9:45am for ALL SWIMMERS, regardless of which time you originally signed up for. We truly apologize for this late change, but with only 64 swimmers signed up, we simply cannot afford to rent the pool for more than one hour a day. If this is going to cause a problem for your family, please reach out to AJ at [email protected] to figure out a solution. Thanks in advance for your understanding...

You're going to see some new AND familiar faces on the pool deck this summer! We are delighted to announce our new GBW coaching staff: Head Coach Travis Allen and Assistant Coaches Molly Bruce, Malana Sturgeon, and Audrey Wurm, with Lucas Casebolt and Nick Casebolt helping as needed. Please check out their bios on our website HERE and get excited to meet everyone on Monday!

That morning (June 2nd), we will also hold a mandatory parent meeting during practice. Please make every effort to be there; we'll be talking about what this unique season will look like, volunteer opportunities, Swimtopia, etc. You'll also have an opportunity to meet Coach Travis and ask any questions you might have. 

Swimsuits and personalized caps from Swimville USA are still available for purchase! Click HERE for info on how to order, and Swimville will have everything ready for you to come pick up from their store in Columbus. Brand new GBW merch from The Ginger Hill Farmer is also available HERE; get all decked out for our first meet on June 7th.

OK, that's it for now... haha. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you have; otherwise we'll see you on the pool deck on Monday. Let's get ready to swim fast and have lots of fun this summer!
