Kingfish Newsletter Week of June 22 - 28

Hello Kingfish!

Great swimming this weekend at Groveport! We were up against another really good team and you rose to the occasion. Way to swim! 

A couple of quick notes from our coaches: 

- Please check the heat sheets before the meet begins to see if your swimmer is swimming in a relay. If you are unsure please check with the coaches before the meet. 

- Please check in with the coaches before you leave the meet. This is important because our coaches need to make sure that no one needed for a relay leaves early. Unfortunately, we have had to scratch some relays due to missing swimmers. If you are in a relay and have to leave early because life does happen, please be sure to see the coaches so that relay teams can be adjusted ahead of time. 

- We love the incredible Kingfish spirit our swimmers and families bring and a big part of that is our great sportsmanship. Swimmers, please remember to stay in the water until the end of the race. We also love to see our swimmers congratulating the swimmers in the lanes next to them on a great race. 

- We love to see that incredible Kingfish energy and spirit. Way to cheer and encourage all of our swimmers this weekend! This is one of the best things about our team. Keep bringing that energy! 

A very special team breakfast this Thursday June 26

This past year, on his deployment, one of our Kingfish alumni flew an American flag for the Chevington Woods Recreation Center. He will be attending our team breakfast this Thursday to present this flag to our pool and swim team. He would love for us to display this flag over the breezeway at the pool's entrance. This is an incredible honor and we are looking forward to welcoming him back to his Kingfish home with open arms. We invite our families to show our appreciation and support by dressing in red, white and blue.
