Practice Tonight and Equipment Suggestions
Good afternoon!
We have a little bit of money now for some equipment. Linda has given some useful suggestions for things to purchase, including rotation devices like paddles, Tech-Tok, and bungees. Please give us some feedback as to what you think would be useful for the team by emailing Ed.
Linda will hold another stroke clinic the morning of May 16. Please don't forget to RSVP with Linda at kiddswimming@yahoo.com if you plan to attend. $20 is the suggested donation amount.
Our next practice is tonight at 5:30pm. See you there!

Senior Games Survey, Triathlon, and More!
First off, thanks to everyone who participated in the Spring Splash. We had a lot of fun and raised some decent money as our cut of the entry fees. The members of RTS who participated did a great job, showing that just because we aren't age groupers anymore doesn't mean we can't win.
This Saturday, April 18, is the Valdese Triathlon! Please come down around 9am to see the swimmers do their thing and cheer on our members who are participating.
The Valdese Torpedo Swim Team - the summer team sponsored by the Rec. - has begun signing up swimmers for this summer. Tell friends, family, neighbors, grandchildren, etc. The girls won conference last year, and the boys were second. Let's make it first and first this year! Check out vtst.blogspot.com for more information.
Thanks to everyone who has completed the survey sent out via email. You responses help us have a better understanding of where you want this program- YOUR program - to go in the future.
Speaking of surveys- Ed wanted anyone who is over the age of 50 to take a moment to fill out the National Senior Games Association Survey. Read below for more details.

Fitness Age Test and NSGA Survey Update
We
have currently received more than 3,200 responses to the NSGA Fitness
Age Survey - GREAT job athletes! However, more is better and we need as
many as possible to take the Fitness Age Test and report your Fitness
Age to NSGA. This will help us prepare a scientific report to share with
the world.
We have had feedback that
some of you were not able to access or complete the Fitness Age Test.
The Norwegian research team reports that at times their website had very
high volume and that probably caused the difficulty. If you are one of
those who had an issue, please try again. If you haven't done it yet, do
it - every single response is important!
