Hello again PW Demon Families! We have more information for you.  :)  

Team Website and Handbook
We have been getting a lot of questions about various topics; going on vacation, practice requirements, meets, volunteering...  Almost every answer can be found on our TEAM WEBSITE or in our TEAM HANDBOOK.  Please refer to these if you have any questions.  

Practice Times for June 6-16, 2022
Due to a record number of pre-team registrations (over 50!), we have changed the practice schedule for June 6-16 once again. We apologize for any inconvenience this might present but feel that safety should be our first priority. 

• 9-12 Year Olds - Your practices will remain the same.  
• PreTeam and 6&Unders - There will now be two 30 minute sessions for Preteam. The coaches are currently working on dividing the Preteam swimmers into two practice groups - either 5:15-5:45pm or 5:45-6:15pm.  PreTeam parents, keep an eye on your inbox because you will receive an email noting which practice time your pre-teamer has been assigned. 6 and Under parents, you will also receive an email about which practice your swimmer should attend. 
• 7&8 Year Olds and 13&Older - Practice time has been changed to 6:15-7:00pm
• You can view the new practice schedule HERE.

Practice Time Change for Friday, June 17, 2022
Due to our Team Photo at 6:00pm, we have had to alter practice times for Friday, June 17th.  

• PreTeam and 6&Unders - NO PRACTICE (We apologize)
• 9-12 Year Olds - 4:30-5:15pm
• 7&8 Year Olds and 13&Older - 5:15-6:00pm
• You can view the new practice schedule HERE.

Team Photo - June 17, 2022 at 6:00pm
Mark your calendars! Our team photographer, Will Hicks, will be taking the Team Photo on Friday, June 17th. Both PreTeam and Swim Team members should wear their team t-shirt and bring their biggest, cheesiest smile!

Team Apparel Store
We have reopened the team apparel store! Please place your orders for some fun, new PW swag and support our team in the process. You can view the team store HERE. We hope to have this second round of orders by the beginning of July. Store CLOSES at midnight on June 9th.

Team T-Shirts (PreTeam and Swim Team)
If you registered before May 21 and have not picked up your team t-shirt, please find Jenni Templeman (swim team shirts) or Victoria Padin (preteam shirts).  

If you registered between May 21 and June 1, we placed an order for more team t-shirts.  They should be ready for pick-up on June 17, just in time for the team photo!  

Team Swim Caps
If your swimmer needs a swim cap, please find a team rep (Mara, Jenni, Ellen, Rachel or Victoria).  The snack bar will also be selling swim caps! They are $20 each and members can pay via cash, check or Venmo - @potomacwoodsswimclub - “PW Swim Caps” in the memo. 

Reminders

• Swimmers with long hair should come to practice with their hair tied back or in a swim cap. PW Swim Caps should be worn for all meets.
• Goggles should be worn for both practices and meets.
• Please refrain from talking to the coaches during practices. Their attention and focus should be on the swimmers during practice times. If you have any questions, please contact an A Rep first or consult the team website/handbook. If you don't find your answer, you may then email Coach Jonny
