Dear Families:
As always, I hope this message finds everyon well, and excited to be back swimming - as well as waiting for the meets to begin. Here are some quick updates about the club:
1) The billing statements I sent out a couple weeks ago are mostly wrong. The only ones correct are the senior’s. You may recall that in my last email, it was decided to only charge 3/4 monthly fees to members in AG1, AG2, AG3, and Senior Prep. - because they had an extra week off while we figured out a pool scenario. So, for April: AG1 = $30, AG2 = $37.50, AG3 = $45, and Sr. Prep = $52.20. Also, Chemawa fees were reduced as well, but those should be already on the statement.
2) We have a full pool!! Water is in, circulating with no leaks, being heated and treated as of yesterday. So, practices will commence at Willamette next Tuesday, May 1, with the following schedule: AG1 = TuTh, 5:30-6:30, AG2 = MWF, 5:30-6:30, AG3 = M thru F, 5:30-6:30, and Sr. Prep = M thru F, 6:30-7:45. Additionally, Sr. Preps can participate on Sat. am practices once they receive the OK from Kate. Seniors will be starting am’s on Wed., 5/2 - with their am schedule being MWF, 5-6:30am, at Willamette.
Hooray, we’re back home!

Sign ups for the CAT meet on May 18-20 are due to Kate by the 17th of April. Please let her know if you are going to the meet. The CAT meet is an AB meet, which means that the swimmer must have an A of B time to swim. Kate’s email is h2okat@msn.com. Please don’t send your sign ups to me as I will be out of town and will not be able to forward your requests.

Dear Families:
This is regard to the practices for the month of April.
Because the Sparks Center pool will NOT be ready until the end of the month, we will return to practice at Chemawa, starting on Monday, 4/9. Here are the times:
AG1 - Tu/Th 6:30-7:30pm - coached by Robbert van Andel AG2 - MWF, 6:30-7:30pm - coached by Kei (pronounced ‘K’) Otawa AG3 - M-F, 6:30-7:30pm - coached by Al Sr. Prep - M-F, 5:30-6:30pm - coached by Al Srs. - M-F, 5-6:30pm - coached by Kate
Other news: a) prepping/painting of the pool has started. It will take two weeks to prep/paint, then that hated word “cure” time of 7-10 days. b) entries for Lincoln City and Tualatin Hills have been sent c) there will be NO tryouts this weekend at Sparks, as originally hoped. We will hold them on 4/21 or 4/28, TBD’d. d) billing statements will show a 1/4 reduction for all except Seniors. e) as you may have noticed, we hired a new coach for AG2’s. Kei is a 4 year letterman with the Willamette Swim Team, has spent the last few summers teaching swim lessons with Willamette’s Learn-to-Swim program, will graduate this spring with a major in Mathematics, and interested in coaching. Please introduce yourself to him, and extend congratulations.
Enjoy the weather, and have a great Easter!
