PRACTICE:
Another great session on Sunday. Please join us Thursday, 5/28 at 6:30 p.m. at CSU.

Our summer session will run from June 1 to August 31 at a cost of $60. Our schedule remains Sundays at HB at 1 p.m. and Thursdays at CSU at 6:30 p.m.

You can pay using PayPal, but you will need to bring signed waiver forms if you have not already, and we also need to have everyone registered for the year through American Water Polo. Forms will be posted June 1, for those who have forms on file, we will not need another.

SUITS ON ORDER
If you ordered a suit a while back (mea culpa), the order is placed with a final design. They are from TruWest, and they will be durable suits. If you have not ordered now is your chance, please use PayPal at the left or bring payment to practice.

EXPERT SPEAKER
We have the opportunity to hear from an exercise physiologist from Cleveland Clinic Sports Health in June on topics such as injury prevention and conditioning. Please let us know your interest in our poll posted here at www.clevelandwaterpolo.com.
