Hi Jr Warriors families,
As far as when the pool will reopen, it is looking like we may be back in there this weekend. We will know for sure tomorrow afternoon and I will let all of you know about the Saturday meet as soon as I hear from the town re: the pool.
Thanks for your continued patience with all of this!!

Hi everyone…
Many, many thanks for your patience and flexibility with the pool this week. This week we've found some limited pool space…so we are going to split the team up into 2 different practice days. Because of the limited space, I need to request that everyone come only to their regularly assigned practice times. Please let me know if you have any questions!!
Jeanne

Hi everyone…
Thanks to everyone for coming out to Thoreau on a snowy Saturday evening! The team swam really well and it was a very close meet. The 8 lanes made the meet go very quickly…cannot wait for the new Wayland pool with at least that many lanes!
A quick reminder about Sunday (tomorrow). Since the Wayland pool is still closed, all swimmers age 9&up will practice at Atkinson pool in Sudbury from 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm. (NOTE: We are unable to have any kids under age 9 at the practice…sorry!)
Again, we know that some of you have other commitments tomorrow. But for those of you who can make practice, we look forward to seeing you at Atkinson!

Hi everyone…
We have been able to secure a bit of pool time Sunday at Atkinson Pool in Sudbury. We will have 8 lanes but only for an hour so unfortunately we won't be able to accomodate everyone at the practice. So here is the plan:
- 6&unders – NO PRACTICE
- 7/8 year olds – NO PRACTICE
- 9/10 year olds – practice from 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
- 6th/7th/8th graders – practice from 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
We realize that this timing is not ideal, but it is the only time/place we can get on Sunday. And so far we have been unable to secure practice times/locations for Tuesday and Thursday (although we are still working on it). We would love for as many kids (ages 9&up) as possible to come to practice Sunday…but we do understand that many of you may have existing commitments and may not be able to come. (NOTE: We are unable to accomodate any swimmers under 9 for this practice…sorry!)
Thanks for being flexible! Please let me know if you have any questions!

Hi everyone…
I just wanted to give you an update on the town pool and our upcoming practices. Last night and this morning, the town drained the pool. They plan to clean the interior of the pool and then refill it with new water. Once filled, it will need some time to warm up. This process will take a minimum of a week. The town has made getting the pool up and running again a priority and are doing their best to minimize the time it is closed.
So…what does that mean for Jr Warriors practices?? We are trying to secure some pool time at another local pool for the next week. As soon as we have a concrete plan for our practices, we will let you know. Thanks for your patience with this!!
Jeanne
P.S. If you have not done so already, PLEASE let me know whether your kids will be swimming in the meet Saturday.
P.S.S. I have all the missing suits and will bring them on Saturday.

Hi everyone…
Just a quick note to let you know two things:
-
No practice tomorrow (Thursday 12/3)
-
Meet is still ON for Saturday, 12/5 at Thoreau
In a nutshell, there are some water quality issues at the Wayland pool that have caused its closure. The town is diligently working to fix the problem so that we can be back in the water as soon as possible. I will send more details tomorrow.
We will still have our meet on Saturday at Thoreau. If you did not have a chance to sign up for the meet (yes or no), please email me ASAP as to whether your swimmer(s) will be attending.
Sorry for the inconvenience!!
Jeanne
