  3. Team overview: • Community-based team • WWD is one of seven teams in “O” Division in MCSL • Memorial Day weekend-end of July • Meets (competition) run for six-seven weeks • Afternoon practice every weekday (except Wednesday nights*) • Registration: Friday, May 2, 5-7:30 PM.

  4. Practice schedule: • Practices start on Tuesday, May 27 and continue through the week of the last meet.

  5. What’s our pre-team? • Swimmers who have basic swimming skills. • Includes 6 years old or under (may include 7 to 8 years old swimmers needing extra work). • Usually between 4-6 years old (*). • Practice 30 minutes per day, in a group “swimming lesson” environment. • “Compete” in kickboard “races” on Wednesday nights (B meets). • May swim other strokes on Wednesday nights (if legal) or Saturday mornings if needed.

  6. Swim meets: • “A” meets are Saturday morning meets (except for Wednesday, 6/11). Include dual meets (vs. one other team), Relay Carnival (on 6/29), and Divisionals (7/19). • “B” meets are for swimmers to swim what they didn’t swim during the previous Saturday “A” meet. • Swimmers may bump themselves into an “A” meet by their “B” meet times. • Divisionals are the “O” division “playoffs”. The top two swimmers for each event/age group compete in this meet.

  7. Spirit: • Looking for a Spirit chair. • Friday night dinners • Friday night activities/pep rallies • Swim Meet Themes • Mini-trips • Cheering at meets (before, during, after)

  8. Recognition: • Swimmers/coaches talk before events AND after events • Coaches hand out ribbons 1-2 times per week (on Mondays—following Saturday and previous Wednesday meets) during post-practice team meetings. Swimmers will receive their ribbons by receiving “mail” (ribbons in envelopes) from coaches. • Coaches will recognize swimmers who get DQ’d by purposely working with them during practice the following week. • End of the year banquet (July 28th at pool)
