Hello all!

I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend! Here are some important reminders for this week:

Practice for 11 & Ups will start at 8:00 am! Practice for 10 & Unders will start at 9:15 am! We will continue to practice in the rain unless otherwise stated, so make sure you have notifications turned on for the swimtopia app, so I can send cancellation alerts on short notice. 

Our first A-Meet is this Thursday, May 29 at Harbison Rec. It is imperative that you RSVP so we know who is coming! If your child is not signed up on time, we cannot guarantee they will be signed up for what they'd like! More info regarding the meet will be sent out tomorrow or Wednesday, so stay tuned. 

Lastly, team pictures and our philanthropy event will be this Friday, May 30 at 8:00 am. We ask that you have your swimmer at the pool at 8am with a clean team shirt over their blue swim suit. Please see the attached photo form- you may print and complete the form to bring Friday. We will also have some copies available during practices next week. Payment information is listed at the bottom of the form and photos will be delivered back to Hailey Atkinson for distribution within a few weeks. We will do both individual photos and a group photo prior to kicking off our fundraising event the same day. More details on that to follow very soon! Please let Hailey know if you have any questions at all (803-924-9988).

Our Waves of Support Philanthropy will take place immediately following team pictures! There will be pool floats, doughnuts, and lots of fun! 

Columbia Swim League's benefactor this year is Hickory Top Farms. Hickory Top Farms uses equine therapy to support children, veterans, and many other people in need. Incorporating the horse and nature into therapy sessions is a unique opportunity for meeting individual treatment goals and improving overall health and well-being. Hickory Top Farms' 80-acre outdoor clinic provides an exceptional setting for working with a licensed mental health care provider.

Donations can be made through the attached flyer's QR code! Please reach out if you have any questions at all!

I know that was a lot of information, but y'all rock! 

Best, 

Coach Owen
