Congratulations to our SWIMMERS OF THE WEEK:

Themes for Upcoming Away Meets:
Message from coaches: Swimmers! It is crucial that we receive your meet sheets at practice the day BEFORE the meet! If we don't have your meet sheets, we can't make the line ups! We will not accept meet sheets the day of the meet. If you are not able to attend a meet, please send a meet sheet in with "NOT ABLE TO ATTEND" written on it! Also, swimmers need to be at two practices a week to swim in meets/relays!

Kids--make sure to see a Jr. Coach to check-in and get your note cards with your events written on it! Also, remember to check the posters with your lane assignments for warm ups! They will be posted on deck at each meet, and lane assignments will not change!

File boxes with individual files for each swim team family and for the coaches and Parents’ Board are kept by coaches. Mailboxes will be available at the conclusion of each practice on the pool deck. Any and all communication from SRST will be distributed into these files, including awards earned at meets and weekly newsletters. Any communications to the SRST Parents’ Board or coaches should be placed in their files. Parents must decide if their swimmer(s) are responsible enough to handle this task. If not, the parents or their designees should check their file in the box for any communications. Please note that communications are distributed very frequently.
