March 5th –8th 13 & Over State Waukesha South From the President... Hello Everyone,

We are well underway in our short course season and our kids are doing a great job. Many are lots of meets while we have swimmers already achieving best times. Whichever may be your kids are doing great so keep encouraging them and showing them your support. Our December meet is approaching and we will again need everyone's help working this meet, You may need to work more than just the session your child is swimming in so plan ahead. Just a few things to mention:

*Our team picture day will be in December. Keep your eyes out for upcoming information

*We continue to get weekly inquiries to our program. This is good and not so good. Good because our team is growing but not so good because we only have so much room. There are waiting lists for many of our groups. If you know of someone who wants to trial with us please encourage them to contact us but also let them know we do have waiting lists for some groups.....mainly the SN group.

*Newer families....how are things going? We know there is a lot to learn and adjust to so we encourage you to ask board members at the pool or other parents if you have questions about anything. Please feel free to email any board members, too.

*Existing families....have you taken the opportunity to introduce yourself to at least one new family??

*Finally, we welcome Coach Jennie who will be with us M-W-F. She will be working primarily with the SN group but will also make the rounds with some of the others.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Alicia
