Happy Sunday Waves! 

We hope everyone enjoyed their day off yesterday. The weather did not work out for us and although there was a brief opening, canceling ended up being the right decision. It's always a tough decision when the weather is like this because we simply cannot predict the future. Rainouts happen. It's summer swim. 

Road Trip to Walden 

This week we are away at Walden Wavez for the battle of the Waves/z. The normal away times apply here. 7:15 AM check-in for all swimmers and volunteers, closing at 7:45 AM sharp. If you swimmer is not checked in by then, they will be scratched. 

7:45 AM is also the time for our warmups. Warmups are always important for the away team because of the starting blocks! If your swimmers aren't used to different blocks, then get there on time and allow them to warm up and get used to them. 

They will have a full concession setup with all the normal breakfast and lunch options. And as always, please respect their no parking signs. 

Swim-a-thon Update 

First off, thanks to all of you who have gotten your donations in. We are up to $6,000 but our goal is $10,000 this year! Our swim-a-thon is dedicated to a cause deeply rooted in the heart of our swim family. We are coming together to swim in loving memory of Haley Burns, a devoted swim mom, wife, and daughter who recently lost her heroic battle with appendix cancer. The proceeds are going to a very special charity so let's make sure we are all doing our parts in raising money. Everyone should have gotten a personalized email with a swimmer-specific landing page for sharing on your social media. Go share it! It takes like 5 minutes to copy and paste so just do it! 

The main page is at https://app.99pledges.com/fund/2026fmkpwaves and the swimmer's specific donation page can be found by using the "Search for participant" text field. 

The event will be held on Wednesday, June 3rd during normal practice times, featuring music and treats as our swimmers dive in to complete as many laps as they can. 

Last Week of School 

This is the last week of school for everyone so good luck with your finals and other festivities. Remember that next week we will change over to the summer swim practice schedule where our practices are run in the morning. All the times are available on https://app.99pledges.com/fund/2026fmkpwaves

Go Waves!
