Hi Blue Crabs!

We had a fantastic time at our Time Trials yesterday! A huge thank you to the Crab Crew that made it happen—timers, officials, clerk of course, and everyone else who was there cheering swimmers on, helping out, and having fun. You can view the results here and check out all the awesome photos from the meet here.!

We have a great week of fun in store as the school year winds down. This email includes information about our awesome Pep Rally, our season opening meet, the adult relay race, Mini Crabs kick-off, and our schedule for the coming week.

PARTY TIME!

Get ready to kick off the season with an evening of fun at our Annual Blue Crabs Pep Rally on June 12th from 5pm-7pm in the courtyard area at Stone Barn Pool! We will have several activities for swimmers and families to enjoy, including poster making, a special craft, handprinting our annual Blue Crabs team banner, an awesome Photo Booth and more fun and games! We’re looking for a few more volunteers to help out pull everything off. You can sign up here.

Don’t worry about cooking that night, just come hungry! Jimmy’s Seafood and Traditional Authentic Mexican Food Trucks will be onsite with food for purchase, and Kona Ice will be there as well. The Blue Crabs will be providing all of our swimmers with a ticket for a free Kona Ice!

Bring your team spirit, your appetite, and your excitement for a great season ahead. We can't wait to see all our Blue Crabs families there for an evening of fun with our awesome swim team family!

OUR FIRST HOME MEET

We will be hosting the Windsor Knolls Wahoos this Saturday, 6/13. Our team theme will be Country vs. Country Club! Pick a side, dress the part, and help us kick off the season! There will be a Family Spirit Award and prize for the family who shows the most spirit! 🤠⛳🦀

Crab Crew Sign-Up: Every swim meet happens because parents step up and give of their time to serve our kids and pull the event off. Thank you for helping us build a culture of service, fun, and community. We have just a few spots remaining!

Swimmer Entry: It is very important that you sign in and click on the green “Meet Entry” button on this page to declare your swimmer(s) as either “attending” or “not attending.” This must be done by 10:00 PM on Tuesday, 6/9 in order to participate in the meet. Even if you are not attending on Saturday, please complete this process by Tuesday. Thank you!

ADULT HALFTIME RELAY

Our adult relay is back! Sign-up to show off your impressive swimming skills this coming Saturday. The Windsor Knolls will have a few lanes and we’re looking for one more Blue Crabs parent relay team. A prize will be awarded to the winning and most spirited teams. Sign up here!

MINI CRABS KICK-OFF

Starting tomorrow, our Mini Crab practices will begin. Mini Crabs practices will run for 30 minutes, from 6:35-7:05 PM, Monday through Thursday this week. The priority this week is to get to know our littlest swimmers as we help them get comfortable in the water. We’re looking forward to having you as part of the Blue Crabs family this season!

TEAM T-SHIRTS & TEAM PHOTO

Every swimmer will receive a team t-shirt which comes as part of their registration. These will be handed out for our team picture on Tuesday, June 23 at Stone Barn. The team picture will take place at 7pm with an option for individual/sibling pictures starting at 5:15pm on a first-come, first-served basis.
