1. Summer Group Placement for Your Swimmer:
Congratulations to all of the swimmers who moved to a higher group for the summer session!! The coaches are planning a promotion ceremony for Thursday, June 5th around 5:00 p.m. for all athletes currently in Super Stars, Schroeder Stars, Super 8, and Age Group 3 who will move up for the summer. So parents bring your phones and cameras and don’t miss it.
The Spring Session ends on June 7th and the Summer Session begins the week of June 8th. We are very excited that the large majority of swimmers are continuing on for the Summer Session which includes our first ever Schroeder Trophy Meet in August for all non-state swimmers. It will also be great to have some practices outdoors :)
We also want to welcome back a number of swimmers who are returning for the Summer Session after taking last session off. Glad to have you all back!!
If your swimmer is still listed as active on your account, and he/she will not be participating in the Summer Session, please contact Coach Bob right away. We will suspend the swimmer but keep your account open so you will continue to receive communications from the team. Most of you who are not participating in the summer session have indicated your swimmer will be back for the Fall Session. Please confirm that with Bob in August so we can re-activate your swimmer before 9/1/14.
2. Who do I contact for any question/communication I have regarding my swimmer?
With many different communications coming from the team, we know it can be a bit confusing as to whom you should contact with questions/communications regarding your swimmer.
It’s important to remember that the first contact should be made with your swimmer’s coach. This means that Schroeder South Sr1, Jr1, Sr2 and Jr2 parents should contact Coach Bob. AG1, 2, 3, Super 8, Schroeder Star and SuperStar parents should contact Coach Ann. Bob and Ann’s contact info is below in the SST South Office Hours section. Please do not contact any Schroeder North coaches (especially Coach Matt) with questions unless directed to do so.
3. Schroeder South Think Tank (SSTT)
We want to thank everyone for the amazing response to SSTT. We had 27 parents attend the first session. The group laid the foundation for many exciting projects including a possible Wilson Park cook-out and a family Brewer Game outing.
The second SSTT meeting will again be at St Francis Brewery and Restaurant located at Howard and Kinnickinnic on Monday, 6/23. Meet and Greet is at 6:00 p.m., with an opportunity to order food and drink. The meeting will begin at 6:30.
4. Practice Schedule Link: Schroeder South Practice Schedule

8. Team Equipment Info:
Coach Ann will have Schroeder swim caps and fins at practice. If you need to buy one, check with her before or after practice.
9. SSTY South Lost and Found Is Now Located in Coach Ann’s Car:
When caps, goggles, suits or fins are left at any of the pools we practice at, the coaches bring them to the Greendale Pool and put them near the team bulletin board. Since the Greendale Pool is closed for maintenance until the middle of June, we will temporarily keep items left behind in Coach Ann’s little red car. (Key word is LITTLE, so kids, remember your stuff :)
10. Mail Checks to Matt Miller:
Please mail all checks to Matt Miller rather than give them to coaches at practice. We’ve never lost a check yet, but practice can get a little hectic! You can mail them to Matt at the following address:
