Dardenne Devil Rays Swim Team Families,

We hope everyone has enjoyed some time off between school and the start of swim. Welcome to all the new families and swimmers and welcome back for all those returning for another great summer filled with swim, sun, and fun!

As we dive into our first practices this week, items to remember to bring to practices are: goggles, flip flops, towel, dry clothes for after practice, water bottle, and of course your suit.

Our first practice of the season will be in the evening of Tuesday, June 2nd. If you received the attached dates earlier in the year this has been updated to reflect the correct date of Tuesday, June 2nd. All other information has not changed.

Although too early to tell, looking at the weather for the upcoming week, practices due to cold temperatures and lightning could play a factor. If there’s a cancellation of practice, the team will be notified 30 minutes prior to the start of practice via email along with a SwimTopia APP notification (please update APP notifications in your phone settings).

A new Intrasquad Mock Meet has been placed on the schedule. If you already registered for the mock meet, please re-submit your entry. The mock meet will still be held on Thursday, June 11th. You’ll have until 11pm on Tuesday, June 9th to register for the mock meet.

Please note that we kindly request all parents to stay at the pool during practice sessions. This ensures a supportive environment for our swimmers as they work hard to improve their skills.

To maximize success at meets, we recommend that swimmers attend a minimum of three practices per week. Consistent practice is key to achieving personal bests!

We are looking forward to a great season ahead filled with fun, teamwork, and growth. Thank you for being a vital part of the Dardenne Devil Rays family. Let’s make this season unforgettable!
