Today’s email is a friendly reminder about recycling at our club facilities. As fellow community members who love our beautiful Seattle surroundings, let’s work together to keep our corner of the world green and clean!

Next time you’re at the club, please take an extra moment to check what goes where in our recycling bins.  Not sure what can be recycled? Check it out: https://www.seattle.gov/utilities/your-services/collection-and-disposal/recycling

We’ve all accidentally tossed the wrong item in the recycling bin (those plastic coffee cup lids can be tricky!), but with a little attention, we can make a big difference together.

Swim Team – Spring week 2

/in /by
Well… that was a cold and rainy first week of practice. Hopefully the weather will start looking more summery soon!
Here’s some reminders about what’s coming up:
Swim Team 101 Orientation on Tuesday
Join us Tuesday May 20 8-9 pm for a virtual orientation about swim team. Everyone is welcome-  if you’re new, have questions, want to talk about swim team, or just say hello, drop on in!  Here is the  Google Meet Link 
Team Suits 
We have the same team suit as last year. If you don’t have one, or need a new one- they’re available in the Team Store (if you want one).   I am behind on getting apparel set up but we’ll also have an order form up soon for t-shirts, hoodies, etc. (also same designs as last year… if you have thoughts or ideas for apparel reach out, there’s still time!)
No Practice on Memorial Day 
No practice next Monday due to the Memorial Day holiday. Enjoy the long weekend! There is also no practice on Juneteenth June 19. 
 
All Teams Party June 20 Evening
Mark your calendars! The all teams party is for everyone in swim, dive, and tennis team to celebrate the start of summer. It will start at 5:30 and go until the pool closes. We’ll be serving up burgers and dogs, with potluck sides and desserts. 
 
Red & Blue Time Trials Meet June 21 Morning
The morning after our all teams party is Red and Blue — plan to arrive with your swimmer by 8 am, and to stay at the pool until around 11. I’ll have a link for volunteers posted soon. Red & Blue is an important event for practicing how a swim meet goes– both for swimmers and for parent volunteers.
That’s it for now- feel free to reach out if you have questions.
Warmly,
Kirsty
