Dear Seahorse Families,

Welcome to the busy month of May! Thank you for staying up to speed by reading the following reminders and updates:

Pool Deck Activity

As a friendly reminder, Las Trampas is not open for recreational use during swim team practice. This means that the basketball court and ping pong table are closed. Please come to the pool with quiet activities, such as card games, books, coloring, etc. for siblings who are not participating in practice. Thank you for helping to maintain a focused learning environment for our swimmers.

Declare for Meets NOW!

Please go through the season Calendar and declare your swimmer(s) for the meets they plan to attend. We appreciate you doing this well in advance, so that we can plan for the season! Remember, the deadline to declare for a Saturday (or Sunday) meet is the Wednesday prior, and the deadline to declare for a Wednesday meet is the Saturday prior. However, we *strongly* encourage that you sign up for ALL of the meets you plan to attend, all at once, at the beginning of the season.

Private Swim Lessons

Registration for Private Swim Lessons will open on May 15 for swim team members (May 17 for LT Pool members who are not on swim team). Signups will remain open until all spots are filled.  The recommended age for Private Lessons is 5+ by June 15, 2023, but younger swimmers may be accommodated if they are completely water safe. Please note that these are not "Learn to Swim" lessons. All participants should be water safe. These lessons are designed to develop and improve stroke technique, and prepare swimmers for a competitive swim environment. Areas of focus may include starts and turns.

Please see detailed information on the Private Lessons page of the website.

Thanks for reading. Go Seahorses!

Kindly,

Marisa and Dana
