Hello Seadragon Families!

Just a couple of weeks away and we’ll be in the water with the Wyoming Seadragons! This email has a lot of information, but hopefully this will save you from receiving multiple messages in the future. Be sure to bookmark and update your contact information on our Wyoming Seadragons Team website.

TEAM KICK-OFF
Our Team Kick-Off will be on Monday, May 12 from 6-8pm on the pool deck of the Wyoming Recreation and Aquatics Center (Rain Location - Wyoming Rec Gym). Drop in when you can. This is a great time to meet the Coaches, purchase team suits and other equipment from Swimville, check out our line of spirit wear, order personalized caps, learn about becoming an official,  sign up for family volunteer slots for events, home and away meets and meet your fellow team mates and families. There will be a freebox bin of hand-me-down Seadragon suits/apparel. If you have any to contribute please bring them or need a suit please take one. Please note that the pool is not open that evening.

We will follow up with any families unable to attend the Team Kick-Off.

TEAM CALENDAR
A full calendar of events and meets with details is available on our team website. Details and information will always be updated on this site. You can also reference this one pager that is great to hang on your refrigerator.

PRACTICES
Practice schedules are posted on the website. Evening practices will begin on Tuesday, May 27. Especially for the younger swimmers, this first week will be an opportunity to evaluate swimming ability and independence to ensure the correct placement of swimmers in each group. 

• All Junior Seadragons, sign up for an evaluation time here and fill out this form.
• All 8 and unders, fill out this form.

Practices will run every weekday leading up to the Championship swim meet on July 14 and 15 (except on July 4). In the event of any last-minute updates (usually because of weather), a text message will be sent to families. Make sure your cell phone number is up-to-date on our Team website (after signing in, click on “my Account” and update your contact information).

TEAM SUIT
Ordering information for our team suit is now available. Order by May19th to be included in the free team delivery! At the meets, swimmers should wear their official team suit or any Navy suit.

Communicating with the Coaches
Coach Jen and the rest of the team of coaches are excited to work with your swimmers. All communication can be directed to [email protected]. In the subject, include your swimmers name and age group.

Family volunteer requirements and opportunities
It takes many volunteers to run our swim meets and various events. Each family must sign up for at least four volunteer worker positions at one of our practices, home meets, away meets, team events or Champs. Volunteer spots will first open at the Kick-Off. Volunteer spots will reopen online on Monday, May 28 at 7am, the day after our first evening practice. Between that time, families that missed the kick-off can communicate with Lisa Schmid, [email protected]. There are many kinds of volunteer spots available from concession stand, timing, to helping the younger swimmers get to their events. Some volunteer slots like donations will be exclusively for families who only have Junior Seadragons.

• Helping to officiate the meet is a unique way to help, but requires special training. Be an Official! Learn how to Officiate our NSSL Dual Meets and be close to the action!! We could use 2-4 more adults/parents/family members. This is a priority role that is imperative to fill. Training takes place on June 4th, 6-7pm at Sharonville Rec Center. RSVP here.

This is a lot of information, but the Parent Board will be at the Kick-Off event to answer all questions in person.

Until then, feel free to reach out to me by call/text/email me.

Thanks!
