Signal Mt, Jungle Practice, volunteers & hydration
06.23.24
We have good news and bad news. The bad news is that Ft O has paved over the StH team crash area with pickleball courts so we won’t have our giant tent at City Meet. 😭 The good news is will have a Shark crash zone in a pavilion and still have space for personal tents. Plus, we will also have the funds to purchase the much-needed lane wheel, a lane rope to replace the super faded one, AND team shirts for City Meet. These funds are due to our amazing sponsors. Thanks to you all!
🏆Speaking of City Meet, please log into SwimTopia and RSVP your attendance, no matter if your swimmer is coming or not! We are required by CASL to have volunteers and will need assistance there as well.
✋In regards to volunteers, we have been struggling this season with parents not stepping up to help. Each family must sign up for three volunteer spots per season OR pay the $150 fee. If you still need to do so, please fulfill this requirement or your swimmer will not be eligible to swim in future meets.
🥤We are in the height of summer and hydration is so important. It seems contradictory to be concerned about swimmers drinking enough water, but it is recommended that swimmers consume 16 oz of water for each hour of practice. Send your swimmers to practice with a water bottle to sit on deck and sip on during the morning.
💅We are prepping for City Meet and need donations, especially for the tie-dye and nail painting activities. Thanks to the Saunders family who have us set for our bracelet-making station!
Calendar:
- Regular Practice this week, Monday - Friday
- Thursday, June 27 - Headed up Signal Mt. to tackle the Greenies. Bring your chairs, hydration, and snacks. Our crash zone is pretty shaded but feel free to bring your tent. Bug spray is recommended.

- It’s a StH tradition. Swimmers wear clothes or pjs over suit for practice (and bring a dry set to wear home)
