Good morning, Stingrays!

At the close of registration we have 215 swimmers on our team.  This is our largest team ever and we are excited to see so many families returning for another year and can't wait to meet lots of new families!  We are three weeks away from the start of the season for all age groups except minis, who start 4 weeks from today.  Here are some important dates to mark down!

• April 28 is the last day to order a team suit using this link CRC Swimsuit  Team suits are strongly encouraged but due to the price increases this year, they are not mandatory.  Swimmers may wear a plain black swimsuit if you do not have a team suit.  A team t-shirt and two personalized caps are included with registration and you will receive these the first week of morning practices. 

• May 7 is our parent orientation at the CRC Clubhouse (4110 River Club Drive) from 4:00-5:00pm.  You may attend in-person or via Zoom.  We will send out a link for the meeting closer to the date.  We will go over everything you need to know about the season at this meeting!

• May 8 is the first day of practice for all age groups except minis.  You can find practice times here https://crcstingrays.swimtopia.com/practice-schedu...

• May 14 at 5:00pm is when volunteer registration opens.  We will describe each volunteer position at the parent orientation.  You can find more information about volunteer requirements here https://crcstingrays.swimtopia.com/volunteer-infor...

• May 15 at 6:00 PM.  Mini Ray evaluations for last names A-M.  May 16 at 6:00pm for last names N-Z.  Minis only need to attend one evaluation day.  If you cannot attend on your assigned day, please respond to this email and I will get you set up on a different day.

• May 30 is the first day of morning practices.  No practice on Memorial Day Monday, May 29 

Our coaches can't wait to see you all in a few weeks!  If you are new and want to get to know some of the faces you'll be seeing, you can read the bios for our coaches here https://crcstingrays.swimtopia.com/coache If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at this email address.  I place a high value on clear and timely communications so parents can plan ahead and know exactly what to expect.
