DIVE CLINIC

The FAST Coaches are holding a final Champs Prep Dive Clinic to help our swimmers perfect their dives & starts. It will be held at our home pool, Gilleland Creek pool (700 N. Railroad Ave. Pflugerville, TX 78660.) The FAST Frog board has decided to pay the cost, so it will be free for the swimmers to participate.

We will be having 2 sessions to allow for the most possible swimmers to participate. Please sign up for one session for your swimmer if you are interested. The first session begins at 10 am and the second session begins at 11 am. Sessions will be 50 minutes long. The Dive Clinic is open to all Tadpoles, Pollywogs and Frogs.

COACHES GIFTS

LET’S REWARD OUR AMAZING STAFF FOR ALL OF THEIR DEDICATION AND HARD WORK!

Our season is quickly coming to a close, and we are collecting donations for surprise end of the year gifts for our Coaches! Each family may contribute any amount that they would like. Every donation goes directly towards building gift packages for our Coaches that are presented at the Awards Banquet from all of the Frog Families. These gifts are from the families and not the board. Remember, this is a secret and a tradition, and we thank you in advance for your generosity!

You will find an envelope in your family folder for donations. Please place your donation in the envelope and place into the yellow folder labeled coaches gifts located in the family folder boxes by June 29th. All checks should be made payable to Jessica Coxe, our spirit chair who is coordinating the gift purchases. You may also use the Venmo app to pay @JessicaCoxeFFSpirit . Please put in the comments field for coaches’ gift.
