Great First Practice!

So many new faces! Welcome to Londonderry Bolts Swimming! Just wanted to send out a few reminders since we do have so many who are new to swimming and new to our team. 

**No one is allowed on the pool deck during practices except for coaches and board members. That goes for parents, swimmers on the team (unless it is their practice time), and especially our precious future swimmers who should be supervised by a parent at all times. That is for insurance reasons and to keep everyone safe! This includes the baby pool and the deck surrounding it. 

**We will be doing dryland practice the rest of this week so please make sure to dress accordingly in shorts, tshirts, and tennis shoes. Flip flops or sandals should not be worn as they will be running. 

**Please practice with your age group unless you have permission from a coach or a board member to swim with a different group. If you have a conflict with your practice times please let the coaches/board know and we'll try to come up with a solution. 

**We also want to bring back tent parents since we have so many littles. We will have a team tent for each of the following age groups. 6u girls, 6u boys, 7-8 girls, 7-8 boys, 9-10 boys, 9-10 girls. We will need volunteers who will be responsible for sitting with these groups during the meets (we'll provide the tents), mark their arms with their events after they've checked in with the coaches, and help to get them to the ready bench when their events are called. This will make it easier for parents with littles to volunteer to time or fill other positions. We are hoping we will have enough volunteers to have 2 per age/gender group (ages 7-10) so that no one has to do it for the whole meet. The 6 and unders are done around the middle of the meet anyway so we would only need 1 for the girls and 1 for the boys for that age group. If you are interested or would like more info please let us know. This will not be a position that you will sign up for each week. We would like to have some consistency for the kids. 

**T-shirt presales are still being accepted. There are now youth sizes if you need them for siblings of swimmers or to have an extra one for your swimmer. The link is here. 

**We will be taking your donations again on Friday if you want to bring them to practice. Please don't bring them on Thursday because we won't have access to the clubhouse and won't be able to store them. 

Any other questions please ask! We are here for you!
