FR1 Newsletter: Week 5 Fall 2924
Future Royal 1, Week 5 - Upcoming Week
Welcome!
We had a great turnout at the meet this past Saturday, not only from our group but from many of the groups in the club! The swimmers had good energy and were excited, and overall things went well! We have an idea of where we stand so far and where we need to go, and I like the place we're at!
This week we'll continue to work on backstroke and freestyle, while also really beginning to focus on turns, starts, and finishes. After the Swimfest meet we'll begin to introduce breaststroke! It's great that some of the swimmers are already asking about moving on and challenging themselves with the tougher strokes.
Not too many announcements, but as always reach out to me should you have any questions or if anything comes up (whether it be attending a meet, child concerns, etc.)
Here are some reminders:
I believe everyone has by now gotten their things, but if you haven't already, visit the Elsmore swim shop to make sure your swimmer has Fins and a Kickboard! Additionally, Elsmore recently received a stock of our "Meet" swim suits, so go ahead and stop by there to purchase a team suit we can use for meets!
There is now a groupme for FR1, go to this link to join the groupme! You'll need to provide an answer to the joining question (so we don't have people outside of the group join). Feel free to message about any questions of other parents or myself in there, I will do my best to monitor that chat regularly.
I mentioned this last week, but we want to represent our Royal colors, so we have what Coach Andy calls "Royal Fridays!" (an HSE tradition) where every Friday students/athletes, and coaches/teachers wear blue colors (specifically the shirt!)
Speaking of shirts, I passed out shirts and caps on Thursday last week, if you did not receive one feel free to message me or remind your swimmer to tell me at practice and we can pass those out. If we don't have a bag ready for you I will email you and ask you for your shirt size!
If you have any questions or comments for me, feel free to reach out to: [email protected]

- The kids make a dance *lead and practiced with the group/team mom and al the groups perform their dance at the barndance!
Regardless of my poor memory, here is the link to our calendar page that should have information and any details about any upcoming meets (such as the SSC SSC Swimfest 2024!) and provide a spot to sign up for volunteer slots!
- If you would like to leave a comment on the meet entry form as to what you'd like your swimmer to swim, you can do so.
- I will be the one assigning swimmers to events, so do not do so, but as noted you may leave comments if you want to suggest an event.
