Howdy Stingrays!

​One week closer to that first meet on June 3. There’s a lot to update on this week so if you have any questions please reach out to the board.

• Final registration payments are due today! If you have not made payment, please reach out to us ASAP so that we can help coordinate with you. If we don’t receive payment, we will have to remove your child from the roster that we send to the league.
• We need two volunteers for the Champ Series Committee – this entails attending CCSL meetings twice per month and helps plan and coordinate the Champ Meet series on July 8 & 9.
• There will be a green coach’s notebook at practice every day. Parents and swimmers are welcome to fill it in if you have questions, comments, or concerns for the coaches.
• Swimmer t-shirts were distributed yesterday during picture day. If you did not receive yours, please reach out to a board member at practice or send us an email and we’ll get you taken care of!
• Coming soon to practice! Family mailboxes, which will include Ribbons from meets, swim-a-thon pledge sheets, fundraising flyers, spirit nights, and more! Please check them each time your child attends practice.
• Don’t forget to sign up for SportsYou app, directions can be found here. This is an important line of communication for the team including weather updates for practice and team reminders – please download the app and get set up ASAP!

As always if you don’t have any questions please reach out to the board or send an email to seabrookstingrays.texas@gmail.com.

2023 Swim-A-Thon

Mark your calendars, the 2023 Swim-A-Thon is set for Thursday, June 22nd! Last year we raised more than $3,000 for the team. In the weeks leading up to the event, swimmers will ask friends/families/neighbors to pledge donations to support them and they will pledge to swim as many laps as they can during their practice time. Kids will enjoy breakfast after they swim. Parents, please let the board know if you can be a lab counter or help with setup / breakdown during your child’s practice time. In the event of rain, we’ll plan to do the event on Monday, June 26 as a backup.
