1) July / August Schedule
The July / August Practice Schedule is posted
HERE. In addition, here is some important information from Head Coach Ava:
Beginning June 29, all swimmers must only attend their designated group practices. In other words, swimmers will be unable to “make-up” practices times that do not work in their schedule by attending an alternative group’s practices. As school and other activities come to an end, we hope that all swimmers will be able to make 4-5 practices per week. With limited pool space in July and August, there is no room for shifting around due to scheduling conflicts.
Thank you for your understanding.
Notice for all Senior swimmers:
Practicing as a combined “Seniors” group has worked well for May and June, however as we anticipate more of you will be attending practice regularly beginning in July and going through to August, we have to split the seniors into Red and White groups. The seniors will still practice as a combined group three times per week.
We will be splitting the seniors into Red and White based on their demonstrated ability, times, and commitment to Kigoos. We hope that the split into Red and White will be a positive experience as it will give each of you a chance to have more individualized coaching that is better suited to your specific needs as a swimmer.
Senior Red and White group lists will be posted on Friday, June 26 and will come into effect for the July 29-August 7 practice schedule.
2) Photo Day
Photo Day is this Thursday. Starting tomorrow, swimmers can pick up the order forms from their coaches. We also have them available at the office. Darby Photos will be doing our photos this year. The photos will be between 4 – 6 pm. Look for a final photo schedule tomorrow.
3) Meet Sign-Ups
Please continue to sign-up for upcoming meets. We will be closing the Ladner Super 7 Meet tomorrow. If you have changed your availability and submit a second entry, we will use your most recent entry as your current entry.
Our sign-up for JD Meets is quite light – we need all those wanting to attend the North Delta JD Meet to sign-up by tomorrow (we only have 18 signed-up for the first JD Meet). PLEASE NOTE – while these meets are geared for new swimmers, newer Junior and Intermediate swimmers may want to attend. The rule for these meets is swimmers must be in divisions 1-3 and only have B times. Often, for example, older siblings of JD swimmers attend JD Meets if they meet the criteria.
4) Tater- Tots
Information on this year’s Tater Tots Program has now been posted
HERE. This highly successful program, will continue with the newly expanded model we established last year – a longer program that goes for almost 2 months! Registration turn-around is quick, by
this Thursday with classes starting a week
tomorrow. Preference is given to current Kigoos and to alumni – please share with others who may be interested. All questions to Ava at
headcoach@kigoos.com.
5) Photos
We are trying to continually update our social media sites and our websites with photos from various events. Please send any photos to
president@kigoos.com. We see lots of people taking photos, it would be great to share them!
Thanks again everyone for a great weekend!
