PUDDLE JUMPERS
During the second and third weeks only, we will have a group at the noon practice only for swimmers who are not able to cross the length of the pool using a competitive stroke. They will be known as the Puddlejumpers. If after those two weeks a child is unable to cross the pool using a competitive swimming stroke, he/she will not be able to join the Wavemakers. We encourage those swimmers to take Parks & Rec swim lessons and hope to see them back next year. Tamara Worcester will work with the Puddlejumpers.

Remember to eat a good breakfast and bring water and fruit snacks.
Always eat after a race, rather than just before the next one.
Good luck and swim fast!

Swimmer's Ear warning:
