Hello all,

The weather is fabulous, the breezes are warm, and it is finally time for summer swim! Tomorrow (Monday, May 10th) is our first practice of the season!

First things first! Please STOP what you are doing!! Text @evlk21 to 81010 to join our Evergreen Remind! (More on why this is important in a few.) Please read on once you have joined.

Please see below for the practice schedule we will follow until school gets out:

A few reminders for these first few days of practice:

• Please be flexible with us. Expect changes as we work to make our season look as normal as possible. We appreciate you!
• Please have your swimmer arrive in a suit, tennis shoes, and mask. Dryland will be in the field outside of the gate, and every effort will be made to ensure social distancing. Masks will be required when social distancing is not possible.
• Restrooms are available for emergencies, but may only be used by one swimmer at a time.
• Parents will not be permitted on deck for practice. We have strict deck capacity limits by the HOA and we want to be gracious in our use of the facilities. Feel free to bring a chair and watch from outside the fence!
• Expect all USA Swimming and CDC COVID protocols to be followed at all times. We are fortunate in that we have several local swim clubs which have been operating safely for over a year, and we have the benefit of utilizing their practice and meet expertise.
• Please expect to pick your swimmer up immediately after practice. Swimmers from earlier/later groups will not be permitted on deck while siblings swim.
• Swimmers should enter the gate on the right of the clubhouse (near the field). Your swimmer will exit the gate to the left of the clubhouse (closest to the tennis courts).
• We expect some chilly, possibly stormy weather these first few weeks. Please join our Remind to get real-time practice and meet updates! Text @evlk21 to 81010 to join.

We are so excited to kick off this fantastic season! It will certainly look and feel a little different than we are used to, but we expect it to be tons of fun!

See you at the pool!

Your Evergreen Staff
