Update for Week of Sept 28-Oct 4: Return to CIS, Open Party, Pool Policies

Good Afternoon, Everyone! 

Looking forward to a fun week at the pool and some exciting changes to our schedule. 
Please read the email below and stay tuned for group specific updates which will be emailed out separately this evening. 


Return to practice at Camana Bay Sports Complex pool, October 1st

• We have been told that we can return to Camana Bay Sports Complex on Thursday October 1st. YAY!!!
  
  
• Please note that this is still subject to final sign-off from CBSC (Camana Bay Sports Complex) that the water has been treated and is safe to use. If there is an additional delay we will let you all know ASAP
  ​

CBAC Welcome Back Team Party, October 4th 1-3pm

• To welcome everyone back to the pool we will be hosting an open day-- yay! Bring friends, family and floaties for games, cake, and an exciting underwater experience

​
Camana Bay Pool Expectations and Reminders
(Swimmers and Parents)
Please take a minute to review with CBAC pool/practice policies for Swimming & Synchro

• Please be on time for the sessions and collect your child on time when it is finished. Very often the coaches are transitioning from one training group to another with no break so are not always able to provide additional supervision for a forgotten child, or chase up those who are late.
  However, life happens :) Please post on the group chat if you are running late so that other parents are able to communicate with the coach/swimmers
  
• All swimmers are expected to wear goggles, swimsuits (not board shorts), and swim caps for those whose hair is longer than their ears. 
  
• Swimmers who would like to wear a rash vest are welcome and encouraged to do so.
  
• Swimmers are expected to bring their own water bottles. A new water fountain has been installed outside the gate.
  
• Swimmers should bring their own training equipment, as designated on the training group info packs. The coaches will not be providing equipment, and we discourage sharing amongst swimmers.
  
• Parents are asked to drop their swimmers off at the pool and ensure their swimmer enters the pool deck. Whilst we are happy for parents of younger swimmers to stay and watch, we would also encourage you to keep the viewing time to a minimum so that your swimmer feels comfortable developing their independence within the group setting. Those parents who do choose to stay and watch poolside are asked to sit on the benches, and feel free to chat with other families. 
  
• Please feel free to reach out to coaches via email or WhatsApp during the day with any questions or feedback. The coaching team works very antisocial hours and want to protect the limited time we have with our own families in the evenings and mornings, and are committing 100% of our energy during session times to your child and their team-mates. Help us to help them by keeping the conversations during practice to a minimum :)

Flowers One Mile, October 3rd

• Those with confirmed entries will need to wear masks before and after the event. Please let Coach Hayley know if you are entered to compete ([email protected])

Training Group Parent WhatsApp Communication

• Each training group has a designated parent WhatsApp group which is used for reminders, weather updates, training cancellations/changes etc
• In the event that practice is changed last minute or moved, this is the most likely place to find information as coaches are usually unable to access email blasts when on the road or on the pool deck. 

As always, if you have any questions please feel free to connect-- see you around the pool!
