We are excited and ready for our 25th season as the Walden Creek Wahoo Swim Team!

As you navigate through registration we wanted to draw your attention to a few important items:

• Swim Team Kickoff/Meet the Coaches/Sign the Towel - We will be having a swim team kick off party at the pool parking lot on April 27. We will have our coaches there, we will be selling swag and getting everyone excited about our 25th season. Please stop by the pool between 9am-11am. We will be gathering signatures of our swimmers for a 25th anniversary commemorative towel (for sale in our shop!) so be sure to stop by!

• Rummage Sale - Also on April 27, we will be holding a rummage sale at the pool. This will be the same day as the neighborhood wide Yard Sale. If you would like to volunteer at the sale (and earn points) or donate items you will be able to indicate this in your registration. Save the date. Our coaches will be there, we will be selling car wash tickets and swag and having a great time!

• Big/Little Wahoos - New this year, we are starting a Big/Little Wahoo Mentorship Program where an older swimmer from 13-14 and 15-18 age groups (Bigs) will be paired with a 6U swimmer (Littles) to help our youngest swimmers feel welcomed into our Wahoo family. Commitment from older swimmers includes being available to their 6U swimmer for guidance, questions, cheering on during swim meets and being their primary "catcher" at meets. We are also hoping to hold at least one Big/Little activity/craft session during the season for you to attend together. If you have an older swimmer interested in this program, please let us know!

• NEW SWIMMERS - We will be holding “swim safety tests” on Saturday, May 10 @ 12:30pm for all swimmers who are NEW to swim team. This is for new 6U swimmers as well as any other swimmers who are brand new to swim team. This will let us ensure that swim team is the best fit for you and how we can best serve your swimmer. We will be sending out a signup for individual time slots.

• Parents Meeting and Pizza at the Pool - We will be having a parents meeting for all new and returning parents at 7pm on the first day of practice, May 13. Please plan to be there and be sure to pre-order pizza for your family!

• Mock Meet Date - The Mock Meet will be on MONDAY, June 3. Please note that it is NOT on our typical Tuesday meet day.

• Mock Meet Volunteers - We will be using our Mock Meet as a training time for all volunteers as we did last year. Please plan to be training for your job at some point during the evening. As we did last year, there will not be any volunteer points given out for the mock meet.
