PLEASE READ - IMPORTANT SCHEDULE CHANGES FOR MOST GROUPS

We have been informed that there have been schedule changes for many of our practice groups. DON'T PANIC! The days remain the same and the time changes are by 15 minutes or so. That said, EVERYONE should check the practice schedules to make sure you know when your swimmer practices. Please see schedules HERE. 

Practice for Blue Ribbon, Gold Medal, Jr. 1 & 2 groups start this coming week! It may benefit you to arrive a few minutes early if possible during the first week just in case there's congestion when scanning in. Parents are allowed to enter the facility, help swimmers in the locker room and walk them to the pool entrance. Swimmers should have goggles they are comfortable wearing, a water bottle, swim cap (optional for practice) and towel. We will have volunteers on hand to escort the swimmers in and get them settled before the coaches introduce themselves to each group. We kindly ask that you exit the facility once your swimmer is greeted by a volunteer. Parents are welcome to wait outside where there are benches or better yet, sign up for a Y membership and hit the gym while your swimmer practices! 

Senior Groups will be indoors this weekend for practice. Please follow your weekend practice schedules. They will return outside on Monday from 4:30-6:00, weather permitting. 

YMCA Membership Update
ALL swimmers must have a current Cranford Y membership. The Y upgraded it's system to "Amilia" in August and even if you had a valid membership, there are waivers and new photos required. If you haven't upgraded yet, please search your e-mail for the Y email or "Amilia" and follow the instructions that the Y sent back in August. If you are unsure if you are in good standing, or if you have questions, please call Olivia London at 908-709-7260 ext. 2307.

Upcoming deadlines 
•  ALL swimmers MUST complete their USA swimming registration in order to attend indoor practice.  Unregistered swimmers are getting reminders from Chris 
• 6pm Monday, 9/9 - entry deadline to enter Fall Fest and MB Cure Kids Cancer invites.  These meets are for returning and transfer swimmers only.  
• If Chris hasn’t received your swim dues, parent fee or info sheet she will be sending you a reminder with instructions on where to send payments. These payments must be paid ASAP in order to be in good standing with the team. 

Parent Meeting
The Parent Association will host a virtual parent meeting within the next few weeks. We will announce the date and time once we secure it. 

Stack Team
This will be the last email blast from our email system. You must join Stack Team in order to receive future communication. When requesting access, include your swimmer's FULL name.

On behalf of the Parents Association, have a wonderful weekend and we'll see you all next week!
