Pirates Family,

We did the Big Fish/Little Fish pairings last week. This program is designed to provide a positive interaction between older and younger swimmers, encourage and motivate younger swimmers, help teach the older swimmers the importance of mentoring and caring for others, and to encourage camaraderie and team spirit between all swimmers and families. Meet day is one of the best opportunities for our Big/Little Fish program, so see below for how to get involved:

1. CREATE: Write your Big/Little Fish a note, draw a picture, or make a friendship bracelet! Use your talents to inspire your Big/Little Fish to swim fast and psych them up for a great swim.

2. CHEER: Watch your Big/Little Fish at meets! Be the loudest and most supportive teammate on the pool deck!

3. CONGRATULATE: After your Big/Little Fish race, be there to tell them how great they swam!

It's a special program and a big opportunity to make this a memorable experience for you as well as them!

Go Pirates!
