April 23rd Email

Greetings Wahoo Friends and Families!

We are gearing up for another fun Wahoo summer for your swimmer and/or diver. Swim Coaches Mike McKee & Meg Anderson, and Dive Coach Ruthie Grimsdale, will return to lead the teams in another fun-filled season. We have already heard from many of our kids that they can’t wait to get started. We hope yours will be joining us too.

The 2009 Wahoo Swim and Dive Registration will be held in conjunction with the annual WRA Spring Cleanup at the pool on Saturday, April 25th, 10am- 2pm. Children ages 5-18, at all swim /dive levels can join! Your child just needs to be able to swim the length of the pool to make the team. For WRA Membership and Wahoo Team Membership Registration forms/meet dates/times/more information, visit our website at www.woodmont4fun.com

As you all know, it really does take a village to run a swim and/or dive meet. This season will be a bit more laid back as we are swimming in the smaller White Division. Each parent is required to fill a spot for either 3 full meets or 6 half meets. Sign ups for these positions will be scheduled on registration day. Remaining functions will be delegated to those that register late. The options and meet dates are listed on the registration form.

Short training sessions for Strokes and Turns, Referee, Starter and Clerk of Course workers are required and will be available through the month of May. These are very valuable positions in service to the team, and it's recommended that returning swimmer/diver parents give special consideration to these positions. Dates for these training sessions will go out in the next couple of weeks.

Registration prices were held at the same rate as last year: $80 for a single program (swim or dive), and $105 for the dual program (swim and dive). A late fee of $10 will be added if turned in after May 10th. Margaret Hood will be at registration to take orders for swimsuits and other aquatics apparel needs. Participants are encouraged, but not required, to wear a team suit.

Swim practice schedules are posted on the website. The dive schedule will be posted shortly. Please contact Aquatics Coordinator Cathy Welborn, if you have any swim team questions (658-8341) or send a note to WoodmontWahoos@aol.com. Contact Dive Team Coordinator Kathleen Dunn, at dunnfeld@comcast.net for questions about dive.

Looking forward to seeing you in ONE month! If you have a new neighbor , pass along this note and encourage them to join our awesome community pool and team.

Sincerely,
Tracey & Cathy Welborn
