Hello Barracudas,

    Welcome to the 2018 Bella Casa Barracuda season.  I will publish a weekly newsletter providing updates on the practice schedule, what to expect at practice for the week and any meet information.   

Our 2018 practice schedule can be found here.   We will only have evenings (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday) and Saturday morning practice this week.   Tomorrow's practice will be only evaluations for the younger kids (8 & under) as we see how well they can swim.   The older kids will be concentrating on freestyle tomorrow (although we may check older kids as well that are new to the team). Wednesday we will concentrate on breast stroke.  Thursday we will be focusing on butterfly (except 6 & under, they will always do freestyle instead of butterfly) and on Saturday we will be focused on backstroke. If your child misses Monday's practice, don't worry, just find me before the start of their age group and we'll get them evaluated at the start of practice for their age group.

I know there are several activities going on, with baseball, softball and other spring sports winding up and end of year school activities.  Please feel free to make as many practices as your child feels comfortable and your schedule allows.   

Tomorrow is suppose to be another very hot day (who knew a couple weeks ago?).  Make sure they have water, a towel and goggles tomorrow for practice.  Those with long hair (shoulder length or longer) should also have a cap to keep the hair from clogging the pool filter system.  

See you at the pool,

Coach Mark
