We had a great first week of practice! We now have 93 swimmers registered which is incredible! Practice will continue this week at our regularly scheduled times Monday through Friday. Our 2 head coaches will be returning from college this week and are ready to jump back in leading practice. 

We are currently working on putting together our committees, please keep your eye out for an email with your committee assignment. Our registration deadline is coming up on THIS WEDNESDAY, May 8th. If you have friends and neighbors that still plan on swimming with us, please remind them that they need to get their registration in at the beginning of this week. 

Stroke Clinic 

Our stroke clinic this year will be run by our BGP coaches. The focus of this clinic will be on breaststroke and butterfly with the 7/8 group swimming at 9am and the 9/10 group swimming at 10am. This is a great opportunity for a refresher on these two (more difficult) strokes! 

Team Photos 

Photos will take place on May 16 from 4-5pm. There will be an opportunity for individuals of each athlete as well as one group photo of the whole team. Swimmers should wear the team suit for these photos (same suit as last year for returning families). If you were unable to grab a suit last week, Texas Swim Shops carries them in their store at 10425B S. Post Oak Road (https://www.texasswimshop.com). There will be no practice after photos are finished. 

Officials Training 

The Bayou Swim League is hosting an officials training on May8th at 7pm at Dad's Club. This is for anyone interested in being a poolside judge. WE ALWAYS NEED MORE JUDGES! The training will teach the rules of swimming and the technical aspects of the strokes, turns, and starts. Judges are a critical component of each swim meet. Please let us know if you would like more information about being a judge. Even if you are undecided, we'd encourage you to attend the training to find out more! 

Reminders 

- The ladies in the office have requested that we please leave office parking open during business hours. 

- Fun Fridays will start this week! A sign up to bring fun Friday treats went out yesterday, please check your junk folder if you didn’t receive it. 

See you at the pool!
