Hello Piranhas families!

Please join me in congratulating Oliver Johnson for being selected to the zone 2 team for the 2023 Alberta Summer Games in Okotoks in July.  We are so proud of you Oliver!

In addition, I would like to congratulate Eli Fitzsimmons, Aaron Swedlo and Isaac Thibodeau for being named to TEAM CANADA for the 2023 RLSS Commonwealth Games in September.  Hopefully in a few weeks we will have an announcement to share about preliminary Team Canada selection for the 2024 ILS Worlds Games (Oliver Johnson and Caebri Smith competed as exhibition athletes at Nationals in order to be considered for team selection as they are too young for the Commonwealth Games team this year).

OK, back to summer swimming stuff!

Attached is the meet entry information that has been submitted for the upcoming meet in Okotoks this Friday and Saturday.  Our Friday swimmers are:

Yellow - Saijel

Silver - Cyra and Elliott

Orange - Evan, Cadence, Teryn, Maddie F-B and Rylan

Black - Kenzie, Sydney, Caebri, Will, Soleil, Ava, Tony, Avery, Oliver, Aaron

FRIDAY Warmups will be from 4 to 4:45.  Plan to arrive for 4 pm.  Warmups are not usually divided into groups on Friday nights but if we find out new information we will update the team.

SATURDAY Warmups will be 7:30 to about 8:15.  We will likely hear tomorrow or Friday when our group warmup times are assigned and will update the team.  We typically get the 2nd warmup time since we are one of the further away clubs for this meet, but planning to get here for 7:30 so you have time to set up "camp" and get everything ready is probably a good idea :)

The smaller 25m pool will be available for warmups/cooldowns throughout the meet although its important to remind your swimmers that these lanes are NOT for playing.  Just for warmups and cooldowns.

For RELAYS, there are some swimmers that are only in the Free or Medley relay. Free only (Maggie, Heidi, Bella, Calder and Isaac).  Medley only (Ava, Saijel, Zach and Aaron). 

Looking forward to seeing all 46 of you this weekend for some great swims! If something comes up and your swimmer is not able to attend, please let your coach know ASAP so we can make changes to relays.

Coaches Amy, Bryson, Eli and Max
