Parent Meeting Recap 2024
Saddle Creek Swim Team Parent Meeting 2024
So excited to see so many old and new faces today! Looking forward to a great season! If you weren't able to attend, please read the meeting highlights below:
- Email is the best way to reach me! [email protected]
- For the safety of all swimmers, No Talking to Coaches During Practice!
- The deck will be for swimmers and coaches only for the May afternoon practices. This is to help the swimmers and coaches focus on each other without the distraction/noise of parents and siblings.
- Put the meet postcard on your fridge to remember practice times and meet days--pick up at practice this week.
- Evening practices are limited to 15 kids. Little Dolphins aren't eligible for evening practices. See the Home page for more info. Swimmers must be able to swim on their own.
- 6 and Under parents need to wait on the property during practice. We encourage you to wait in the Pavillion.
- Swimmers will look rough the first swim meet. This is expected and okay. Swimmers who come to most practices, will see big time improvements in later meets.
