Hello Sea Lions Families,
We have several important updates as we head into the second half of the season!
🎉 Pep Rally This Friday – Senior Celebration Potluck
Join us this Friday as we celebrate our graduating high school seniors during our third Pep Rally of the season!
If you're wondering why we've had so many pep rallies this season, here's the reason! This year, the Sea Lions had three consecutive home meets on the schedule. Since pep rallies are traditionally held before home meets, we've also had three consecutive pep rallies. We have one more pep rally to go!
This week's pep rally will be a potluck-style event. The team will provide pizza and bottled water, and we ask each family to bring a shareable finger food, appetizer, snack, or dessert.
To keep cleanup simple, please bring grab-and-go items that do not require serving utensils or extensive setup. Some great examples include sliders, pinwheels, chicken nuggets, pretzel bites, fruit trays, veggie trays, cookies, brownies, and other easy-to-share favorites.
We look forward to honoring our seniors and celebrating another great week of Sea Lions swimming!
🇺🇸 Stars & Stripes Meet – July 4
Families participating in the Stars & Stripes Meet have already been contacted by Coach Emily regarding attendance and participation. If you have any questions about this meet, please reach out to Coach Emily directly.
🚨 Meet Volunteers Needed
We need your help!
As we move through the season, we have struggled to fill all of the volunteer positions required to host our swim meets. In several cases, we have found ourselves scrambling at the last minute to cover essential roles.
The Sea Lions swim team is entirely volunteer-run, and our meets simply cannot operate without parent support. Every volunteer position plays an important role in ensuring our swimmers have a safe, organized, and successful meet experience.
When you declare your swimmer in Swimtopia, please sign up for at least one volunteer shift.
Many positions require little to no experience, and our volunteer coordinators are happy to answer questions and provide guidance. If you're nervous about volunteering for the first time, don't worry—we will walk you through it! We are grateful for every family that volunteers and simply ask that everyone consider helping where they can.
Many hands make light work, and when every family contributes a little, no one has to do a lot.
🍩 Donut Mondays
Donut Mondays are underway! After each Monday practice, swimmers can enjoy a sweet treat thanks to our wonderful volunteers.
We still have volunteer openings available throughout the season. Each shift is only 15 minutes long, making it an easy and fun way to support the team. Feel free to sign up for one shift—or several!
