Week 3 Email

We have made it through the craziness of school, graduation season and are mid-way through an extended weekend providing us a chance to relax and to remember those who have given their lives for this country. This week begins our first week of morning practices and our first swim meet of the season at Glenn Abbey.

Tuesday – Morning practices begin - see website or attached calendar for practice times.

Wednesday – Morning practices, Clinics (more info below) and JR Crocs begin (10:00 – 10:30)

Thursday Practice – LOCATION/SCHEDULE CHANGE – 9am – 12pm at Swim Atlanta, Midway Location (5059 Post Rd, Cumming, GA 30040). No Clinics. No Junior Crocs.

****Per the email sent on 5/20 from Megan Melchiors, practice on Thursday of this week will be at Swim Atlanta Midway and will focus on certifying and teaching the swimmers to dive and/or use the starting blocks for their races and at practices.

****If you attend this Thursday, swimmers will also get a chance to have their events written on their arms (make sure to take a picture of this).

****If your family cannot come this Thursday, the Meet Lineup will be sent out to the team on Thursday, so parents can write their children’s events on their arms. Also, there will be a smaller session on June 4 for those that could not attend this week. For questions, email Megan Melchiors at [email protected]

****Junior Crocs – since we had to cancel Junior Crocs on Day 2, we would like to offer a reschedule option at 9:30am on Friday. Please reach out to Amy Beard to let her know if your Junior Croc will participate on Friday - [email protected]

Fun Friday – 10am – 12pm – We will celebrate our First Fun Friday at the end of the week! We will have games with the coaches for each age group, free swim, pancakes and Crocs of the Week! A poll will be set up in Group Me for our wonderful pancake flippers to gauge how many pancakes to prepare for – come hungry and ready to have a good time! Junior Crocs are welcome to attend.

Clinics – The coaches offer small-group clinics beginning Wednesday through June 23 from 10am – 10:30am (MTWH) – this is a chance for your swimmer to get specific guidance on mastering a stroke, perfecting a skill (side breathing, flip turns, diving) and gaining confidence in the water. Cost is $10 per session. Follow this link to sign up ahead of time. Send payment via Zelle Payment: Registered under [email protected] - Crooked Creek Swim Club Co. Include who the clinic is for and what date. Cash is accepted - please give to Amy Beard at practices or prior to the start of clinics. All payments must be made before the start of the clinic session.
