Hello Hatboro Hurricanes Parents and Swimmers!
The kids are off to
the start of a great season!! Here are some friendly reminders to help make
your children’s season a success!
Reminders
for Practice
·
Please do your best to make sure your child wears only a Speedo, TYR, or
other competitive swim suit to practice and meets. Recreational suits are
often not made to handle competitive swimming and diving in with such suit
can sometimes cause unwanted 'exposure'.
·
Please make sure the kids have a water bottle. They may not feel it, but
they are sweating.
·
Kids with long hair should wear swim caps. The coaches can help put the
caps on if needed.
Reminders
for Meets
·
Please remember that if your child is not going to be at the swim meet they
need to write their names on the board outside of the locker rooms a week in
advance of the meet. Please do not let us know the night before, unless of
course if something occurs last minute.
·
The swimmers need to stay until the meet is over to help clean up. If they
do need to leave early, please make sure the coach knows before the meet
·
Any snacks or drinks that are brought to the meets need to be thrown away.
The kids are responsible for working together to make sure the team area is
clean before leaving
·
What should the swimmers bring to the meet?
o
extra towels (you’d be surprised how quickly they become soaked and cold)
o
clothes to stay warm in (sweats, jacket, warm clothes, deck shoes)
o
a
water bottle and some healthy snacks (apple/orange slices, granola bars,
etc)
We are
so proud of the accomplishments the kids have achieved so far and we are
here to help them grow and develop through the YMCA values into strong
athletes, strong teammates, and strong individuals!
Week of 11/24/08
Please contact us at
any time.
Thanks for all that
YOU do and wishing everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!
