Good afternoon,

I hope this email finds you well! We had another fantastic swim meet over the weekend, and I’m thrilled to see how much everyone is improving. The progress our swimmers are making is truly remarkable, and it’s a testament to their hard work and dedication.

I encourage everyone to participate in meets, even if your child feels nervous or experiences those pre-meet “butterflies.” This is entirely normal! Competing is a wonderful opportunity for them to showcase their progress and build confidence. While we focus on skill development during practices, meets are where they truly see how much they’ve grown.

Upcoming Meet:

• Date: Saturday, December 16
• Time: 3:00 PM - until complete
• Location: Forsyth County Family YMCA
  We expect all swimmers to participate, and we kindly ask families to sign up for a volunteer position. Everything you need is already in the schedule, so please take a moment to opt your child into the meet and select a volunteer role at the same time.

Silver 1 Group Reminder:
We need your support to address some attention and behavior challenges within the Silver 1 group. While this isn’t a major issue, we’ve noticed some distractions during practice that impact their ability to fully engage with the coaches’ instruction. To ensure everyone continues to improve, we ask for your help in reminding swimmers to stay focused and attentive during practice.

I have included our holiday practice schedule below, please mark your calendars for these dates and times. Thank you for being such a vital part of our Flyers swim team & YMCA community! If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Warmest Regards, 

Caroline and coaching staff
