Waves Weekly - Sunday May 3 2026
Happy Sunday Waves!
First off, I want to thank all the volunteers and parents for their hard work in putting together a great Wacky Waves. It was a great meet for us and our swimmers to get back into the swing of things. Pool wasn't even cold!
Away Meet at Fall Creek on Saturday
This Saturday we are headed on the road to Fall Creek. Being on time will be important. It’s a 30 minute drive and expect at least 10 minutes to find a parking spot, unload and walk to the pool. Check in starts at 7:15 AM for all swimmers and volunteers at the white check-in tents. I would make sure to leave at least 45 minutes before that. Add 10 minutes if you need your Starbys because you know it’s slow on Saturdays!
We had a few stragglers getting to the meet this Saturday which was fine because it was just us. Starting this week, that won’t be the case and if you are not on time and checked in by 7:45 AM, you will be scratched and cannot be added in.

Picture Day Wednesday
Have you signed up for picture day? It’s Wednesday! We will NOT have any practice on Wednesday. Use the following link to sign up: https://form.jotform.com/261115402661143
All the instructions are in the link provided. If you want to be in the team photo you must come to photo day. It’s going to be a virtual composite this year so everyone’s individual pictures are needed for the team photo. Please reach out with any questions to [email protected]
Wednesday is also Spirit Night at Hacienda Palomas
The stress of picture taking can be a lot! Why not ease that stress with some fantastic Mexican food at our favorite - Hacienda Palomas! A portion of the proceeds go to the Waves for equipment and operations so help us keep those costs low by eating fajitas and queso. Mention the FMKP Waves at checkout!
Stroke Clinics this Week
Starting this week, the coaches will offer stroke clinics for starts and turns! If you’re interested it will be every day (except Weds) right after the last practice, so the clinic will be 7:30-8. We charge $20 per swimmer. Cash or Zelle. Just be there by 7:30 if you want to participate.
That’s it for this week. As always, if you have any feedback for us - both good and bad - we are always looking for ways to be better. Email me at [email protected]. Everyone have a great week!
Go Waves! 🌊🌊🌊
