Good Evening Wayne Waves,

I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Holiday Weekend!

Below is the schedule for next week. I want to highlight the Saturday, 7/12 Odd Age Invitational at Packanack Lake. (See attached for Meet Announcement)

• This meet is optional, but gives a team bonding opportunity and a better chance to see you children to compete because of the slower pace.
• The meet has a theme and kids are placed in a lane based on their times meaning fairer competition.
• Swimmers and parents can choose their events (strokes) to compete in.
• The meet is in Wayne so commute is easy!
• There is a small fee to participate and fees can be venmo'd (FOWST) or checks written.

We get if you can not make it all, but here is a run down of next weeks events Monday, 7/7-Saturday, 7/12:

Monday, 7/7-Swim Clinic in the AM and then a Lincoln Park Meet Home in the later afternoon. (Ramapo League)

*It is best if we practice wearing team caps or swim caps with no other team affiliation.

Tuesday, 7/8-AM Regular Practice Schedule & PM Pig Out. Thanks for all your donations. (Pig Out will go indoors if needed)

Wednesday, 7/9- Swim Clinic in the AM and then a Divisional Fayson Lake Meet Away in the later afternoon. (Lakeland League) *Attendance appreciated.

Thursday, 7/10-Swim Clinic in the AM and then a Makeup Smoke Rise Meet Away in the later afternoon. (Ramapo League-All Can Compete)

Friday, 7/11-AM Regular Scheduled Practice.

Saturday, 7/12-Odd Age Invitational Packanack Meet RSVP! Lets repeat as the Invitational Champs!

Description: All swimmers are eligible and may choose as many events as they want. Instead of the traditional even age groups (e.g., 9/10 and 11/12), this invitational uses odd age groups (e.g., 8/9, 10/11, 12/13). The usual "younger kid" swim as the older kid. Medals are awarded for 1-3 places, and Ribbons are provided for 4-8 places. Place 1-20 score points for the team.

If you check the team calendar, there are "other" meets than our typical Ramapo and Lakeland dual meets. Below is a link for more information on our upcoming "Invitationals."

Lastly, we know the weather this week seems rough. We can only control so much so Coaching Staff/Parents Board will do our best to keep you informed. 

Respectfully,

Coach Matt
