Hi, Tomahawks!

I’m really looking forward to getting started on Tuesday, May 26th! I will be sending weekly "outlooks" every Sunday until the end of the season so that you know what to expect for that week. I will also use this platform for reminders and general announcements. As a reminder, all communication will be through Swimtopia. Please download the app and turn push notifications ON to receive updates.

Practice schedule for this week:

• Monday-Thursday:
  • 8:15am-9:00 am - 8 & Unders
  • 9:00-10:00 am - 9-10s
  • 10:00-11:00 am - 11 & Ups

• Friday (Doughnuts!):
  • 9:00-10:00 am - 10 & Unders
  • 10:00-11:00 am - 11 & Ups

Something I did when I was swimming summer league as a younger swimmer was swim my age group’s practice, followed by the next age group’s practice for extra conditioning and to challenge myself. This is not required, but I’m just putting it out there if your swimmer would like to do the same!

PANCAKE MEET is next Tuesday, June 2nd beginning at 9:00 am. This is a mock meet for experience and times ONLY. More info will be in next week’s Outlook, but go ahead and sign up on Swimtopia for attendance and jobs. This will be a great way to learn about the easy jobs required to make a swim meet work.

Photos for Competitive Team: Carol Lee Stephens of Wild Blossom Photography will be doing our photos again this year. Photos will take place prior to our first meet warmups on June 9th. Please scan the QR code below to sign your child(ren) up for individual photos. All information can be found in the attached document and any questions can be directed to Carol Lee! 

Team Store: If you want any additional apparel or equipment, the deadline for ordering on our team store is June 5th. Required equipment for 11 & ups - kickboard, buoy, fins, paddles. Required equipment for 10 & under - kickboard, buoy, fins. You can find the link here and the login information is: Username: cherokeecc, Password: club. If you’re unsure of fin size, you can go to Swim and Tri.

If you weren’t able to make it to the kick-off party, you can get your shirts, bag, and caps at practice this week!

As always, if you have any questions, never hesitate to reach out! The best way to reach me is through text: 865-680-2318.

See you Tuesday, and have a fun and safe Memorial Day!
