Hello Parents,

 
First week has gone well. The kids are excited and believe it or not the water is much warmer than the last four years.  I would like the kids to start bringing water bottles. I know that sounds funny because they are in water but they are exercising and they need to drink while they are swimming.  I told them it was not your responsibility to remember but theirs.  You could be a backup reminder. It is hot and they could use a water bottle or Gatorade or Powerade. Not soft drinks, lemonade or Juice.
 
Also the older kids (5 to 6 PM) will be doing some stretching and some running for 15 minutes of each practice. They need tennis shoes. If they forget they will be with a coach and swimming. They will have responsibility for their own tennis shoes and water bottle. I am proud of how hard they are all working. Getting back in the water is tough. They are great kids. I am very blessed to be a part of their lives. Thank you.
 
Now the times slot of 6:45 to 7:15 PM.  These kids are working hard. With so many kids at this time we are not getting thru one lap. I am opening  the time this Friday May 21, 2010 at 6:00 to 7:00 PM for those kids only.  I need more time with my other coaches in the water. They are excited and have to wait on each child to swim. So any NEW KIDS to the TEAM and the little kids are to come 6:00 to 7:00 PM.  Sorry to those who want to come. I only have so much time that night and coaches. You will have plenty of time next week weather permitting. Thanks to all those parents for understanding the lane space and my coaches time.
 
Have a great weekend.
 
Coach Holly Merritt

Hello Barracudas!!!
 
It's hard to believe that it is that time of year again!!  Time for registration for the Birkdale Barracudas!!  Registration is scheduled to take place this weekend, Sunday, April 25th from 3:00 - 5:00pm at the clubhouse.  The Registration Form can be printed from the website www.birkdalebarracudas.com.  Please fill this form out and bring it to the clubhouse.  We hope to see you there!!
 
In addition to registration, we wanted to make you aware of a couple of additional items regarding swim team and the beginning of the 2010 season.  
 
*There will be new Birkdale Barracuda merchandise available for order during registration.  This merchandise includes tshirts, fan packs, towels, etc.
*Our Kick Off Picnic is scheduled for Sunday, May 23rd.  If you are interested, we will be taking pre-paid orders for boxed lunches from Jason's Deli. 
*As many of you know, our volunteers are one of our most important assets during the summer swim season.  Without our parents, these meets would not operate.  It is a challenge each year to secure adequate numbers of volunteers for each meet.  The board has decided to make a slight adjustment to the volunteer policy.  Beginning with this season, we will be collecting a $25.00 Volunteer Fee with your registration.  If your family fulfills its volunteer commitment, then the Volunteer Fee will be returned to you at the end of the season. 
*Volunteers sign ups will be available during registration.
 
We hope this information is helpful as we get ready for the summer season 2010!  On behalf of Coach Holly and the Swim Team Board, we look forward to seeing you on Sunday.  Go Barracudas!!!
