Hello Families,

I hope everyone is doing well and is excited for the start of our season! We do have a few things to go over for this week, so please read this email to stay up-to-date.

WELCOME COACH XAVIER!!!

With our team growing each year, it is important to us that we have enough hands and eyes on deck so we can give your kids the best experience possible. It is with that objective in mind that we have decided to bring on another Assistant Swim Coach, Xavier Noe, to the team. We are so excited to have Xavier join our staff and think he will fit in well with our team! CLICK HERE to learn more about Xavier as well as the rest of our coaches. 

AFTERNOON PRACTICES START TOMORROW

We will be starting our afternoon practices tomorrow. Swim will be offered at 4p and 5p. Dive will be offered at 5p only. Come to whichever time fits into your schedule best. We are excited to see everyone there!

OFFICIALS TRAINING

It is that time of year. The CKSDC is offering 2 sessions to become a certified Stroke & Turn Judge or Dive Judge this season. Stroke & Turn Judges that were certified last year do not have to re-certify this year. Stroke & Turn Judges that were certified in 2022, any Dive Judge, or anyone wanting to become a Stroke & Turn Judge or Dive Judge must attend one of the training sessions. I will send an email out if you have been an official for us before, but need to re-certify this season. The sessions that are being offered are as follows. Please RSVP so we can keep track of attendance at these trainings.

• Stroke & Turn Judge Training Options
  • Option 1: Wednesday, May 22nd from 7p-8p at Spindletop
  • Option 2: Tuesday, May 28th from 6p-7p Virtually. Link will be sent out soon.
• Dive Judge Training Options
  • Option 1: Wednesday, May 22nd from 5:30p-6:30p at Spindletop
  • Option 2: Tuesday, May 28th from 6p-7p. Location TBD.

NEW DIVE PRACTICE TIMES

We have had an adjustment to our dive practice times for the season (once we start practicing in the mornings). Those times are as follows.

• 11 & Overs (10:00a - 10:45a)
• *8 & Unders (10:30a - 11:15a)
• 9-10s (11:45a-12:30p)

*9 & 10 year olds who swim & dive, but do not participate in tennis can go to the 8 & Under dive practice immediately following their swim practice.

KICKBOARDS AT SWIM PRACTICE

We would like all Meet-Ready Swimmers to have their own kickboard by the time we start our morning practices. We have put our recommended kickboards on our team store, but any kickboard is fine. CLICK HERE to visit our team store.

That is all we have for this week. If you have any questions, please let us know. Looking forward to seeing everyone this week!

Best,

The IHCC Coaches
