Hello Hammerheads, 

It's hard to believe we're already halfway through the season! I've truly enjoyed watching all our swimmers grow, learn, and develop friendships with their teammates. 

Coaches' Gifts

As the season nears its end, we have a wonderful opportunity to show our appreciation for our incredible coaches. They are exceptional role models for our children and have a significant impact on their success in summer swim, working so hard every day. It's our turn to thank them for their dedication and commitment to our children and the team. I'll be collecting contributions for coaches' gifts over the next couple of weeks. You can bring cash to the pool and give it to me, or send your contribution via Venmo (@skye-durrer, phone number 434-953-8353). If using Venmo, please add a note indicating it's for the coaches. Thank you in advance for supporting the coaches who do so much for all our children. 

Unsupervised Children 

To ensure the safety of all our swimmers, we kindly ask that parents of 8 & Under swimmers (and any older swimmers who may require additional supervision) remain on the pool deck during practice. Additionally, children should not be left unattended at meets; please do not drop them off and leave. 

Hollymead Gear 

If you're interested in purchasing Hollymead caps ($15), shirts ($20), magnets ($3), or Croc Jibbitz ($3), please contact Jayna at [email protected] or me. 

Declaring for Meets

The deadline for declaring for meets is Friday at 12 PM. Please ensure you declare all swimmers as either "yes" or "no" before this time. You are also welcome to declare for all remaining meets now if you wish. If you need help or have questions, let me know. 

While we know emergencies happen, please make every effort to attend meets for which you have declared you will be there. If an emergency does arise, please email Coach Helen ([email protected]) and Skye Durrer ([email protected]) to let us know as soon as possible.

The deadline to sign up for Saturday's Stroke Clinic is Friday at 11 AM. Please make sure to complete your sign-up by then. It is $5 per swimmer, cash only.
