🦆 Wrapping up week 3!

Dear Mallards Families,

83 swimmers strong! Thank you for showing up and getting new families to join! It's been so nice to see our kids encourage each other and build their stamina and refine their skills! Below I have info about our Tuesday fundraiser, info about sponsorship and important info about the change in practice times due to the pool opening to the community.

Swimwear from Lyndi!

If you ordered with Lyndi a few weeks back, I have your swimwear. 

If you ordered last week, she just got her shipment in and will should have them ready for pick up next week!

Once again, team gear is totally optional, but if you still want to order from her you can call her at 925-872-9525. She has goggles as well. 

Swim caps are here!

They really change your swimmers lap times and they are FREE! Come see one of us if your swimmer hasn't gotten one yet! We'll bring extras to meets too!

Sponsors:

If you know anyone who wants to sponsor, please let me know. I am attaching a letter that you can give to anyone who is thinking of donating. Special shout out to Miguel Valencia for getting this done! Sponsorship levels at $100, $250 and $500+. 

Important dates: 

Saturday, May 23 at 10am- Nelson Pool. 

Come if you want to learn how to set up meets. We'll take all the help we can get!

If you are interested in Stroke and turn training, let me, one of the board or a coach know!

Memorial day, Monday May 25. 

No practice today! Enjoy your time with your families. 

Tuesday May 26- VIP fundraiser for the Mallards. 

You can find the attached fundaiser. If you show up with the flyer, 40% of proceeds come to our team!!! We're working on chipping away at the cost for our starting blocks! I'll send out another reminder with the flyer on Monday! TELL YOUR FRIENDS!!!!

Picture day is June 4th at 7:30pm. 

If you have a team swimwear, wear it! We hope to have the team shirts in time for this as well. If you don't have team swimwear, dark blue or black swimwear works too!

Practice times are changing.

After memorial day, the pool is open to our community.

Other gentle reminders.

• Now that the pool is open, we need to make sure that all the chairs are tucked away under tables, lounge chairs are lined up and the area is cleaned up at the end of the last practice of the morning and evening. 
• Thank you for NOT bringing pets to the pool. They are adorable but unfortunately it is a health code violation. Thank you for understanding!
• If you see something, say something. If you feel anything is unsafe, we want to fix it. Please let your coaches or board know immediately. Safety is our number one priority. Shout out to Preethi Ragu for helping us keep our ducklings safe!

Quack, Quack Attack!

P.S. I'm sorry if this sends as a duplicate. I have no idea why it keeps doing that!
