EMC Eels Families,

Our swimmers displayed a lot of toughness yesterday in the heat and different pool format. Thank you for being so supportive of their growth, even in sweatier circumstances. Our team had a 34% improvement rating. On to the next one!

Here is a look at the week ahead:

Practice this week:

Picture Day

Traditions Portraits will be doing our team photos. We will not have regular practice. Swimmers can wear their team suits or their white team tshirts. No caps or goggles are necessary. Swimmers will be dry the whole evening.

5:30-6 All individual ten and under swimmers

6:00 Whole Team Photo

6:10-7:15 11 and up swimmers and any siblings/group photos

There will be a table set up at the front of the Natatorium, like always. A volunteer will write your swimmers first and last name on a card with a QR code, then hand it to the photographer to scan. After they are done, your swimmer will give the card/QR code back to you. You will be able to scan that code in 7-10 days to preview the photos and make any purchases. All purchases are done online and anything you purchase will go straight to your home.

When you’re done, head to MOD Pizza for our final spirit night of the season!

Next Meet:

Saturday we have our last home meet! We are hosting a very large team from Eagle Springs.

Divisionals

The Divisionals meet will be June 14 at Summer Creek High School. All six teams in NWAL’s White1 division will compete in this meet. All swimmers who have competed in at least two dual meets qualify. Because the meet is so big, there will be three volunteer shifts. These will open next Saturday at noon, just like normal. This is your last official opportunity to earn volunteer credit. If you anticipate not getting your 7 shifts in, please contact us so we can work with you to find other ways to help out.

Upcoming events:

6/13 Team Pep Rally

6/19 Awards Night at Bull Sallas Show Barn

6/21-22 End of Season Invitationals (Ponderosa/All Stars)

Reminders:

• Declare for our last home meet against Eagle Springs
• Sign up for your volunteer position.
• Our Division (White 1) is offering these fun shirts and tanks to represent our teams during our Divisional meet on June 14. Pre-order yours by June 8.

We are here to answer any questions!
