1. Tarpons yard signs -- ORDER NOW -- deadline Wednesday, May 23

This Wednesday is the last day to order Tarpons yard signs. Personalized and plain signs are both available on the Shop page of our website, as are Tarpons towels, ribbon racks, and more.

Caps and towels will be delivered this week; if you ordered, Joey Dyrud-Lange will email you to arrange a delivery time.

2. Practice and Time Trials this week

Practice this week is at Ellis Creek. Time Trials are during your regular practice time on Tuesday and Wednesday -- we need parents to stay for practice and help as timers and scribes.

3. RSVP for meets

If there is a meet that your swimmer cannot attend, we need to know as soon as you know! You can report absences on the swim meets page of our website. You’re welcome to RSVP “yes” for meets, too, but you don’t have to – you’re assumed to be attending, unless you RSVP “no.” If you need detailed how-to instructions on how to RSVP, we have them – click here

4. Stroke judge clinics

If you signed up to be a stroke judge, you must attend a SHRSL stroke judge clinic before the season starts. Even if you didn’t sign up to judge, there is a lot of good information to be learned at the clinic – join us, anyway! There are two dates remaining for stroke judge clinics:

Saturday, May 26: Short 7:30am Long: 8:00am Maplewood | 10425 Rampart St. Houston, 77096

Saturday, June 2: Short 7:30am Long: 8:00am New Territory Club | 1200 Walker School Rd. Sugar Land, 77479

5. Age Group Parent and Ready Bench training

We will hold training/information sessions for new age group parents and ready bench volunteers (and anyone who wants a refresher) on May 30 & 31 during practice. More details to come next week.

6. Volunteer signup is ongoing

Each Tarpons family has agreed to volunteer for 5 half-meet shifts during the 5 meets of the 2018 regular season.  If you haven't chosen your shifts yet, visit our swim meets page to sign up.  Email [email protected] for questions about volunteering.

7. Get the latest

We try to send one email a week (with the occasional important midweek update or change) so that no one is overwhelmed with Tarpons mail, but that means that we’re not always at the top of your inbox. Please “Like” and “Follow” our Facebook page, New Territory Tarpons, and visit our home page at http://www.newterritorytarpons.com for up-to-the-minute news and reminders. Urgent/weather updates will also go out via our Remind text service. 

8. Holiday weekend ahead

Looking ahead, there will be no Saturday clinic this week, and no practice on Monday, due to the Memorial Day holiday.

Have a great week!  Go Tarpons!
