Happy Sunday!! Hope everyone had a good day today after a VERY LONG AND HOT MEET ON SATURDAY!!!

Crazy to think the season is winding down….(and the next 2 weeks will be filled with important info and sign ups!)

Don’t forget to remember:

Tuesday, July 11: Picture day. You can take individual pictures before or after your designated practice time. Paper forms will be distributed and an online form will be available as well. The group picture will be taken at 9:30. 10:00 swimmers will need to arrive early. (I still have not received the link to the online form…so stay tuned. Picture forms were handed out on Friday- and there will be forms on Tuesday, too. Each sibling will need their own order form unless you are doing a sibling shot!  You do not have to buy pictures- but we would love as many swimmers as possible to be in the team picture!

CVST T-SHIRTS- Included in your swimmer’s registration to CVST is a t shirt. The t- shirts have arrived and are ready for distribution. If you were at the swim meet on Saturday, you probably got your child’s t- shirt. I will be distributing them on Tuesday as well. If a non-swimmer ordered a shirt, they are $20 (cash and exact change only!!) and can be paid for on Tuesday, Friday, and also at the meet on Saturday. We might have extra shirts to buy if you did not pre order them and will know by the end of the week.

This Fun FRIDAY will also be a costume dress up day! Swimmers should come ready to swim in their bathing suits and then can change into their costume after practice in time for Fun Friday treats. There will be a prize for:

• 1.)Funniest Costume
• 2.)Silliest Costume
• 3.)Most Creative Costume

And speaking of Fun Friday, we are begging parents of swimmers in the 10:00 practice to bring in treats- this past Friday, the 10:00 swimmers made it clear that they were tired of sloppy seconds from the other two practices. (I'm just the messenger...)

Back by popular request, we will have another potluck spaghetti dinner on Friday, July 21 at 5:00. A sign up is in the app.

Parent’s Night Out at Molloy’s is THIS SATURDAY!!! We have an away meet (WITH 8 lanes!!!!), then we can all go home for a quick nap, the babysitters can come, and off the parents go to Molloy’s to have some fun and raise money for the greatest summer swim team of all time!! Don’t forget I will be collecting bottles of wine, liquor, beer, seltzers, games, etc for our wagon of cheer that will be raffled off at Molloy’s. Raffle tickets are $5 each or 5 for $20. If you don’t have time to stop at the liquor store and you already re gifted anything you had at home, I will also accept monetary donations and I will go to the liquor store for you! Please venmo me at @Cohen-Robyn or cash works too.
