Week One Highlights!

 Hi Team!

Wow!  I absolutely loved our first week together!  The entire team is off to a fantastic start!  I thought you might like a peek at some of the highlights from our week together.

On Tuesday we established right away that We Are All Wonder Women.  We worked on getting to know each other, went over some expectations, and set up our team non-negotiables, which will be posted tomorrow.

That night, pretty much everyone came over for the big team party.  We ate pulled pork, played a corny team builder, and then spent the rest of the time crafting.

 The girls got to meet Olive, who LOVED meeting 50 new friends.

 Some of the girls made AW-K bracelets, which turned out to be kind of hard to make. :)

 Others decorated water bottles.

 A few of the girls made tie blankets.

 We also spent some time in the water last week:

I can't tell you how excited I am about the new lane lines!  I am so grateful to everyone who donated to the lane line fund and to everyone who helped work extra Lambeaus last year.

Time trials were exciting and really gave us a good look at just how awesome the team is going to be this year!

 I am so proud of how everyone did last week.  Some of the girls had never even swam before last week--and every single one of them did a fantastic job during Time Trials!

This week we shift to training mode.  The girls will have their first Tai Chi lesson on Tuesday, and on Thursday we will meet with a nutritionist.  Thursday night is also our big Parent Potluck.  Details about that will be posted on Monday.  Please plan on attending the Pot Luck--we will go over lots of team information and sign up for volunteer opportunities.  We will also be collecting money for the team suits at the Pot Luck ($60).

I can already tell that this is going to be an amazing season!  I can't wait for tomorrow morning!

With AW-K Pride,
Coach Vicki
