Good evening Barracudas!

Our season kicks off this week with a brief parent meeting tomorrow night at the pool at 5:30.  There will be an opportunity to try on suits if you are not sure of your swimmer's size.  Our order will go to D&J on Wednesday, so the suits will be ready for team photos on May 2.

Practice will start at 5:00-5:45 on Tuesday with the intermediate group.  The advanced group will follow at 6:15.  Our youngest swimmers will start next week Tuesday April 23 from 5:45-6:15.  

There's always a need for more parents to help out as new ofiicial - there are Stroke and Turn classes this weekend at Prestonwood Forest pool on Ravenhurst Lane.  The process is easy - first create an account at NWAL Certified; our team code is CYC.

and sign up for the class under the Classes tab.  There are two parts to the class - the lecture and the on-deck portion.  Please make sure you get both parts.  Then, get your background check through Sterling Volunteers - these instructions are also on the NWAL.org website.

Background check: $18.00 Paid by Official and Coaches
