Hello Brightmoor Shrimp Parents! This is Coach Sean. I hope you’re doing well and your shrimps are having fun! While our goals is that everyone has fun and learns more about swimming, we also want to be sure that all our swimmers are safe. Because meets can be so hectic with hundreds of people on deck, we are going to conduct a water safety test to ensure your child can get to the side of the pool if they were to fall in.

On Friday during practice, we will have the swimmers jump into the deep end and make their way to the side without assistance. Once they jump in they will need to swim a few feet to the edge and are welcome to flip onto their backs if they’ve learned that in lessons (if necessary). Coaches will be in the water in case anyone struggles, but they will be instructed to not help unless absolutely necessary. We don’t ever want to take chances with the safety of our swimmers! Please let me know if you cannot be there on Friday and we will arrange a different time for your swimmer to complete this important water safety exercise.

We coaches have been having a wonderful time getting to know your kids and we are looking forward to a fun and exciting season!

Coach Sean
