EMC Eels Families,

Th 5/22 – No practice

F 5/23 – Regular practice; Kona Ice on the Lawn

Swimmer Shoutout:

Coach Jordyn wants to shout out Audrey W. for her continuous hard work and effort with a smile.

Congratulations to everyone who competed at Shark Splash today! EMC won FIRST PLACE in the large team division! Amazing work, Eels!

Equipment Update:

Coaches have invited swimmers to start bringing fins to practice. Fins help swimmers improve their kick technique by teaching proper leg and foot position. This is an optional piece of equipment, but if you’d like your swimmer to give them a try, here are a few brands we recommend:

• Finis
• Rise aquatics
• Speedo

You’ll want to look for long blade training fins, not short fins or snorkeling fins. They are generally $25-30.

Merchandise

Any merchandise or swimmer tshirts not picked up by the end of the week will be absorbed back into our regular inventory.

Upcoming events:

• 5/24 — home meet versus Fall Creek
• 5/26 — Memorial Day, no practice
• 5/27 — Spirit Day at Gringo’s Valley Ranch

Reminders:

• Please fill out our survey on 2025 Awards Night. This will help us to plan an event that is truly memorable for our athletes.
• Declare for our home meet versus Fall Creek
• Sign up for a volunteer position
• Check the ribbon box and lost and found each time you’re at the pool.

We are here to answer any questions!
