Swim season is action packed, we are going to try to limit our emails to twice a week so please read carefully :)

Tonight's pep rally is cancelled due to weather.  We will pep up next week!!

SWAG orders are due Saturday!!  Get your orders to Coach Dave!

Saturday

This Saturday our meet is at SHRA, we are hosting the Cottontail Cobias.  Please double check the meet sheet to see if your swimmer is swimming, especially the relays.  I neglected to attach the relays to the soft entries that I sent Tuesday, sorry about that.  We have 66 swimmers participating on Saturday so we should be able to fill our 30 volunteer slots with ease.  If your child is swimming on Saturday, please go to SwimTopia and volunteer for a job.  We need to fill these volunteer slots ASAP.

Set up starts at 7, and our warmup is at 8 am.  The meet starts at 9.  On Saturday your swimmer will need a couple dry towels and warm clothes.  We will set up tents on the deck, you may want to have your swimmers put their belongings in waterproof bags.  It's warm in the water and chilly on the deck.  If it rains we will still swim.  IF IT RAINS WE WILL STILL SWIM.  We swim in the rain.  If the rain is so heavy that we can't see the bottom we will pause until it lightens up.  If there is thunder or lightning we will clear the deck for 30 minutes and then return to the deck and continue.  Each time there is thunder or lightning we reset the clock.  WE WILL NOT CANCEL THE MEET.

Meet Buddies are posted at the pool and the list is attached to this email.  Meet Buddies are for Saturday's A Meet, swimmers should meet and cheer for each other.  Some swim buddies like to give each other candy or little gifts, this is not required!  This is just a way for our older and younger swimmers to get to know each other and cheer each other on!

Monday

Monday night's B meet is at Dominion Hills in Arlington.  Please arrive at Dominion Hills at 5:15, parking can be challenging.  Our warmup starts at 5:30.  The signup for events for Monday is open, please sign up for events and jobs through SwimTopia.  There are no kickboard or assisted freestyle events on Monday.  There are no IMs on Monday.  The host pool decides whether or not to include these events.

Thursday

Thursday morning we will take team pictures and celebrate the season with an all teams breakfast.  Please be at the pool by 7 am.  We will start handing out T-shirts at 7 am and the first team picture - dive - will be taken at 7:15.  After dive we will take tennis and then swim.  Once the team pictures are finished we will move to individual pictures.  When all team pictures are finished we will also start breakfast.  We have over 300 athletes to feed that morning.  Please follow the link to the All Teams Breakfast and sign up.

Let us know if you have any questions, see you at the pool!
