A message from the YMCA Barracuda Swim Team:
"Our team has suffered a great loss this summer. We lost one of our own
as well as his mother to cancer. They were a vital part of our team and we
desire to honor their spirit and their love of swimming. Therefore we are
hosting this meet in their honor. All the proceeds from the meet will go to
benefit the family, and the charities they loved. Please join us in honoring
this family and in contributing to fight back against cancer!"

The swimmers that have qualified for the state meet will be getting
t-shirts with the team logo on the front and a list of all the 2009
state participants on the back. The shirts will be white with black and aqua
lettering.
If siblings or parents would like a shirt, they are $15.00 each and will
only be available to order tomorrow, July 14 at the end of the first
practice and during the 2nd practice. We will only be taking orders the one
day due to the need to get the order in ASAP so the shirts will arrive
before state. I will only be able to take cash or checks tomorrow.
Yours,
Laurie Scheyer
ALSO:
Parents,
We have the opportunity to order gray hoodie sweatshirts for the kids. They
will cost $28 and will have the logo in black and aqua and text in aqua. We
would need a minimum order of 12 and we are hoping they will arrive
before state but cannot guarantee this. If you are interested in ordering
it must be done with check or cash tomorrow, July 14 after the first
practice or during the second practice. This will be the only day available
to order so the sweatshirts will arrive as soon as possible. If we do not
get enough orders your money will be refunded Wednesday and Thursday.

Important Changes to Practice
Attention parents and swimmers.
Do to the excessive number of swimmers in the early session; the coaches
will be making some necessary changes.
Swimmers need to swim in their own age groups. With that said, the
coaching staff will be placing some swimmers in different sessions according
to skill levels. This means some swimmers will be moved to the early session
and some swimmers will be moved to the later session. We realize that this
may not be a perfect fit for everyone, but the dynamics of the number of
swimmers in different age groups, has required us to make this change.
Each session 7:00 – 8:30 & 8:30 – 9:30 will now be restructured and
instructed according to skill level. Coach Kris and Coach Lisa will provide
the details if a swimmer’s practice session needs to be altered.
Bottom line: Unless you hear differently from the coaches, all
swimmers 11 years and older will practice from 7:00 – 8:30. All swimmers 10
years old and younger will practice from 8:30 – 9:30.
Swimmers must be at the pool and ready to swim when their session begins.
The City of Cumming will not allow us to have the needed 3rd session. Please
encourage our City officials to move ahead with the indoor pool. This new
pool should alleviate our practice problems.
Thank you for your understanding,
The Cumming Waves Board of Directors
