Hi Waverunners!

Tomorrow night is our Mock Meet! Yay!! Aaannnnd the weather is not looking great. We can swim in the rain but not with thunder and lightning, and unfortunately thunderstorms are forecasted all evening. But–we are still planning to have the mock meet tomorrow night. PLEASE PLAN ON ARRIVING ON TIME AND READY TO SWIM UNLESS YOU HEAR OTHERWISE FROM ME.

*Plan to arrive on time tomorrow and ready to swim unless you hear otherwise from me.

*Any weather delays will be communicated via the Remind App. (Did you receive my Remind message tonight? If not, please register HERE)

*If the weather prevents us from swimming tomorrow night, our make-up date is FRIDAY, MAY 27th @ 6pm.

Questions? Email the Swim Team Board: [email protected]

Thanks!

Kari

• Where to Go?
  • When you arrive, check in at the table with one of our Swim Team Board Members and pick up your swim team t-shirt and any merchandise that you ordered, like swim caps. (If you registered late you may not have a tshirt)
  • After check-in head to your Bullpen Location
    • 10 & Unders will be under the tents on the basketball court
    • 11 & Ups will be under the pavilion
  • Consult the Heat Sheet (attached) to learn which events your child will be swimming. Using a Sharpie, write your swimmer's events on his/her shoulder, arm, or leg.
    • Tips…
      • Put sunscreen on first and let dry before writing in Sharpie
      • Ask an older swimmer or an experienced parent on how to read a heat sheet and write the events/heats/lane on your kid! :)
  • Volunteers: Check in with your lead volunteer

• Note from Coach Amy & Coach Henry: We seeded the swimmers in every event but that doesn't mean that each swimmer is required to swim every event. We encourage everyone to swim the events they were seeded in but if they are not comfortable swimming a certain stroke or are too tired (since the mock meet may go by quickly some swimmers may not get enough rest between events) it is ok if they sit out on an event. Their names will be in the heat sheet but if they decide to not swim an event they should inform a bullpen volunteer.
• Remind App:
  • If we need to have a weather delay and clear the deck (due to thunder or lightning) I will communicate through the Remind App.
  • Haven't joined? Please join HERE

• Inclement Weather
  • If we have a weather delay and need to clear the pool deck, you will need to wait in your car. PLEASE DO NOT GO HOME!! I will communicate when to return to the pool deck through the Remind App.
• Picture Information from PhotoVentures:
  • Individual pictures from 3:30pm - 4:30pm
  • Team picture @ 4:30pm
