Dear Raleigh Rays,

I want to thank you all for an incredible season! It has been my absolute pleasure getting to lead the Rays this year. I have seen so much growth and progression in our swimmers throughout the season! As you have seen from the progress reports sent out earlier this week, the hard work and dedication they have all put in has paid off. One of the BEST ways to keep that progression moving in an upwards direction is to continue swimming throughout the year. I know many of our swimmers this year transitioned from our lesson program at the beginning of summer. Transitioning back into lessons after the summer season is a great way to ensure your child keeps and progresses the skills they learned in summer league, while also continuing to grow their love and excitement for the sport. Our year-round team is also a great option for kids who want to continue swimming and keep the competitive component. My fellow coaches and I will be working over the next week to send out communication to you each individually on what path we recommend your swimmer take in the fall, so keep an eye on your inbox!

Thank you again for a wonderful season! I look forward to seeing you all at our end of season banquet! Make sure to RSVP via swimtopia so you don’t miss out on any of the fun we have planned!
