Waves vs. Blue Dolphins - Away Meet & Upcoming Fun!

Hi Swim Families,

Get ready for our fourth swim meet of the season! This Saturday, June 28th, we're hitting the road for our second away meet, taking on the Lake Manassas Blue Dolphins.

Here are a few important reminders for the meet:

 * Swimmer Check-in: Please make sure your swimmers are checked in no later than 6:10 AM.

 * Be Great Guests: Let's show the Blue Dolphins how respectful the Waves are! Please treat their pool and facility like you'd want ours treated. That means picking up all trash and making sure our "campsites" are spotless before we leave.

 * Volunteer Opportunities: We still have a few volunteer spots open. If you haven't signed up yet, please grab your spot today! Your help is what makes these meets a success.

You'll find more details about this meet in the attached Welcome Letter.

A Much-Deserved Break!

For those of you who've been checking the calendar, you might have noticed that we have next Saturday, July 5th, off! And even better, Coach Justin is giving all our amazing swimmers (and us dedicated Swim Team Uber Drivers!) July 4th off as well. So, enjoy the festivities and have a fantastic holiday weekend!
