Swimmers, 

     We hope you're staying warm and dry today! We wanted to let you know that today’s swim practice is canceled due to the chilly, rainy weather. 

     Although there’s no thunder or lightning, the temperature is only 66°F and it’s raining, conditions that are far from ideal for a comfortable and encouraging swim experience. Especially for our newer swimmers, we want their first practices to be positive and enjoyable, not cold and miserable. 

     Coach Rick was outside earlier helping the custodians and came back looking like he’d just returned from an Arctic expedition. His teeth were chattering, his hands were frozen, and we’re pretty sure he muttered something about needing hot cocoa and a blanket. If Coach Rick is freezing on dry land, we can only imagine how our swimmers would feel in the water! 

   Thank you for your understanding as we prioritize the comfort and well-being of our swimmers.

Hoping for sunnier and warmer skies soon, 

Marianne
