I hope you've had a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend. This week we start morning practices and SWIM SEASON IS IN FULL SWING! This is a LONG email but packed full of important information! PLEASE READ TO THE END. ARRIVAL TIME for MEET DAY!Swimmers should arrive by 5pm in TEAM SUITS ready to warm-up. Coordinators and set up crew will be in the pool early setting up for the meet and moving things around. We will allow parents in at 4:45pm-PLEASE NO EARLIER. Please be patient with us and respect our need to set up, clean up and prepare for the meet!
Meet starts at 6pm.
Please keep an eye on your children during the swim meets and know when their events are, especially our younger swimmers. We prefer them to stay in the bullpen area with their age group and Shepherd so they are available and ready for their event. The Volunteer Shepherds start lining up for each event 3-4 events in advance. I also ask that you remind your children to be respectful to both the property and to the wonderful adults that have volunteered to help ensure they get to their events. Let's start the season on a good note and communicate this to our children. TUESDAY’S (5/31) FUN MEET!! -Declaration for this meet is closed. Remember our theme is COLOR WARS!! Have your swimmer dress up in the color assigned to their age group-refer to our website THURSDAY’S (6/2) MEET! -ALOHA THEME - First official meet of the season and we still have many swimmers undeclared. Given the holiday weekend, we have extended the deadline to declare your swimmer to midnight tonight, Monday 5/31. As we stated in our previous email, you must declare your swimmer(s) by the Sunday of each week. The heat sheets for our meets take a lot of time for Caroline to prepare. Please do not email her or approach her on the day of a meet to try to add your swimmer or make changes. If your swimmer is not declared for each meet on time, please understand there will be no exceptions to add them. Please show Coach Caroline the courtesy of declaring your swimmer on time.
Important note for Thursday, remember we are sharing the pool deck with the other team. We will have it roped off and designate the side of the pool deck/grass opposite the entry gate for our visiting team. CONCESSIONS!! - Accepts VENMO, Cash, & Credit Card
