Weekly Newsletter - September 23, 2024

HI - there are some new members who registered since I sent the kick off letter for the year so I am going to repeat that l;etter here for everyone. with some updates:

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to the 2024-2025 season. The board and I are really looking forward to a great year.

For those of you who do not know me - my name is Michael Lepouski - I am the president of the Centennial Aquatic Club.

Any new athlete if you could come Monday 9/23 at 5:45 to be evaluated by the coaches; if you are not able to attend, please let us know.

Important Information

• Parent Support
  • We need our parents’ help. Especially on days of swim meets - more information about volunteer information will be coming. Here is a link to our parent's code of conduct: https://www.centennialaquaticclub.org/Agreement.jsp?team=salcac&key=65bd9199-24da-4cc6-afd9-935a948d4d56
  • We are in desperate need of one more board members. The Promotions position still need to be filled.
    • Promotions would be in charge and any fund-raising activities and fun team events.
• For practices we are being told by the centennial district that we do NOT have use of lockers; so please no one use these. Swimmers can use the bathrooms next to the cafe or the one before the pool deck.
• If you are new to CAC - it is recommended that the swimmers bring a towel, water bottle, goggles, swim caps, and flippers.
• NO PARENT is allowed on the pool deck while lessons or training is taking place.  Parents of younger children can come in and help the child get ready - but must leave the pool deck during the sessions. All parents are welcome to go to the upper deck to watch the sessions.
  • Only coaches and board members are allowed on the deck during sessions.
  •  This is VERY important. This is not just a rule to make sure your child is paying attention - it does help, but it is a very important safety rule.
• Reminder - respectful behavior from all swimmers is required. Repeat offenders will be asked to leave and not return without refunds.
  • It is important that your swimmer treats the coaches/instructors with respect and the other swimmers. 
  • We will discuss behavior with the swimmer if incidents occur, and if incidents are extreme or repeated, they will be asked to leave.
  • Appropriate behavior is necessary from our swimmers. Here is a link to our athlete's code of conduct:  https://www.centennialaquaticclub.org/Agreement.jsp?team=salcac&key=21c1064b-94bc-4bbc-b3b0-6e3ac58c491d
• Reminder – please do not approach coaches during swimming times. If there is an issue that needs to be addressed, please talk to a board member. If preferred, you can also discuss with Mark (the head coach) before or after practice
• Reminder - it is recommended that swimmers are ready at start times - so please come a few minutes early to get prepped.
  • Here is a link to the schedule: https://www.centennialaquaticclub.org/page/swimmingdiving/practice-schedule
