Dear Porpoises,

It's hard to believe, but here we are in the very last week of summer swim! In addition to the practice schedule changes for this week communicated by Coach Claire, please read through all of these key reminders:

(1) Swim Team Banquet - We would love to see everyone there, Saturday, July 22, 6-9pm at the pool! To register, please log into SwimTopia and go to the Team Store tab to purchase your tickets. For catering purposes, registration closes TOMORROW, July 19, at 9pm. The Team Store will close at that time, and we won't be able to add people who have not registered.

(2) Volunteer Jobs - Particularly for families who have not yet worked their 3 shifts this season, we still need help for the banquet (set-up, clean-up, baking) and for clean-up at Divisionals (we need 10 people to step up for that). Please use the SwimTopia calendar to access those job listings and to sign up.

(3) Divisionals Notes - We are excited for those who have made the meet to represent Palisades at Calverton on July 22. Coach Claire will send more information on warm-up times and parking. *Please plan to bring chairs for children and adults at the meet, as the pool is likely removing theirs.

(4) Final Pep Rally - We saved the best for last! At the legendary shaving cream and super soaker pep rally this Friday, July 21, 6-7pm, please take note of the following:

• Everyone is welcome!
• We provide the shaving cream; you provide the super soakers!
• We recommend wearing your goggles during the rally.
• The pool and the showers are closed to those covered in shaving cream; coaches will use the hose to clean them off.
• Anyone who opted into Secret Swimmer should bring their gifts to this pep rally.

Thanks so much, 
Molly, Shelley, and Kim
