Hi Dolphins,

We are so excited to begin this swim season. The Board has been making plans to make this the best season yet! I know that I have sent a lot of emails lately so I want to condense them into one so that you can do everything you need to do.

1. If you have not turned in your concussion form, liability, birth certificate (new swimmers only) and payment, please bring it to your first practice. Forms available on our website. No one can get into the water without these documents.
2. We are aware that the weather has turned cold lately. We will be doing some dry land activities so that our swimmers are not in the water the whole time. Therefore, please have them wear their swim suits and wear sneakers.
3. For our new swimmers: Don’t forget to bring googles 
4. Please sign up for all the ways that we will communicate this year. I am listing them all below.
   1. Our team website. Please feel free to upload pictures of the meets or fun activities. All important information will be posted here. https://hanarrywest.swim-team.us
   2. Remind 101. Please download the app – the instructions are below. This is very important. This is where we will send important updates and keep you updated on the status of swim meets in case of bad weather. We are counting on everyone having this communication tool. 
      1. Smartphone: Open your web browser and go to rmd.at/emily527.  Follow the instructions to sign up. You be prompted to download the mobile app.
      2. If you don’t have smartphone, get text notifications. Text the message @emily527 to the number 81010. If you have trouble with 81010, try texting @emily527 to 678-999-13.
5.  The practice schedule until school gets out is Monday – Thursday nights. High school 3:30-4:15. 6 and under 4:15-4:45. 7-8 year olds 4:45-5:30. 9-10 year olds 5:30-6:15. Middle School 6:15-7:00.
6. Please sign up to bring something for the Mandatory Pancake Breakfast/Pictures/Team meeting on May 20th at 9am. www.SignUpGenius.com/go/4090F45ADAB28A46-hanarry
7. Please sign up for a Volunteer Team for the meets. Anyone who has not signed up by May 12th will be assigned to a team.  There is an option to buyout of volunteering. The cost is $150. The other option is to hire an older teen to work in your place but you need to arrange that yourself- please still sign up for a team.  Please let us know if you are choosing to buy out.
