Future Royal 1, 13th week of Summer '25!

Welcome!

We had some great swims this Friday, and are getting some divisionals cut, which is exciting news for FR1! We have not gotten any individual divs cuts in the past 2 years at least. We have another opportunity tonight at the Under The Lights Meet -- ITD 6:45PM at Forest Park! Other than that our season is quickly coming to a close, and we are in a great place heading into the fall! Our strokes are looking great and I am so happy and proud of the progress we've seen this summer. Lastly, we will have a specific email going out to those who have divisional cuts, and what that will look like (Aug 2nd is Divisionals)!

 

We will have our service project this Monday after practice! 6:15-6:45PM. We will be coloring pages for in the Lane Line Cafe! 

In order to brighten the days for individuals living in senior communities and those in assisted living, SSC has teamed up with 3 local residential facilities to spread some cheer while introducing our Club and members to these residents!

 

Please be on the lookout for meet info, as meets this summer will come fast! There are many meets to attend, and they are a great opportunity for us to show off what we've learned and see what needs working on!

SUMMER SCHEDULE: JUNE 12- End of Season

FR1: Monday, Wednesday, Friday. 5-6PM all days!

For announcements/important items this week there isn't much besides our normal, with the Monday, Wednesday, and Friday schedule!

NOTICE: We coaches were informed this week that the HSE doesn't like us using Door 8 *the door at the back of the pool near the windows* Please have your swimmer go to Door 10 (*Entrance you'd go through coming from the parking lot by the pool, near the football field).

  • If your swimmer has not gotten a shirt, please email me! @[email protected] 
    • ​If I don't have them, I will ensure your swimmer is on the list. This might take some time.
  • If you're new, please visit the Elsmore swim shop to ensure your swimmer has Fins and a Kickboard! Additionally, you can also purchase a suit we use for meets there too:
  • There is a GroupMe for FR1, go to this link to join! Feel free to message about any questions of other parents or myself in there, I will be sending updates about practice cancellations/meet updates, etc.
  • 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!)
  • The SSC announcing crew (our wonderful announcers for meets) is looking to grow the group!
    • We would like to extend an invite to any Future Royal Parent who would like to give it a try. We have the November Splash on Saturday, and Matt would be glad to show you the ropes during this club-only event. It is a lot of fun and offers you a front row seat to the action - all while counting towards your volunteer obligation to the club when announcing for one of the club hosted/non-Splash meets. Please feel free to reach out to Matt to let me know if you would be interested - [email protected]​
  • *IF you've noticed that some groups are getting goodiebags or other fun things, we can get that for our group too! Here's the following message from Kathy Nelson, who's the lead for the Team Parents Committee.*

"We are looking for a few more parents to join the Team Parents Committee for the FR1 group!!  Are you interested in becoming a little more involved in SSC?  Are you wanting to support and foster the culture and the cohesion of the FR1 group?  Are you wanting to get to know the FR1 athletes and families?  Being an FR1 Team Parent will allow you to do just that!

If you're interested in being part of the Team Parents Committee for FR1 or want additional information about the role, contact Kathy Nelsen at [email protected]."

A reminder for meets: sometimes they can go long, make sure that your swimmers has snacks and water so they're ready to race when the time comes! Lastly please ensure that your swimmer has a towel, caps, and goggles when they arrive at the meet!
