Hello Parents! 

Happy Memorial Day! I hope you are all enjoying the long weekend and are getting excited for our first swim meet of the season! 

I just wanted to send out a couple of hours keeping notes for tomorrow to make the meet run smoothly. Here are some reminders for the meet, please read everything carefully so that you don't miss any information.

For the Meet Tuesday (Registration Is Now Closed):

Location: This is a home meet so we will be swimming at Briarwood Pool!

Time: All swimmers will arrive at 4:30pm and we will have warm ups from 4:35-4:55pm.

Theme Night: For Tuesday's meet the theme is USA! Please have your kids come decked out in Red, White, and Blue themed accessories! Your swimmer must swill wear the team suit and swim cap for racing but when on deck, anything that fits the theme is welcome, have fun with it!!

Parents: Please have your swimmers arm marked with their events, heats, and lanes PRIOR to arriving on Tuesday (SEE ATTACHMENT BELOW) Please also have their name and age group ( 6U, 7-8, 9-10, 12U) marked on the back of their shoulder, this is very helpful for the coaches and bullpen parents! 

Events/Entries: Once the meet is written, changes cannot be made! Just remember, this is a learning experience for your child. Sometimes they will be entered in something they haven't really mastered yet and that is OK. If they are nervous about a certain event or stroke, please have them talk a head coaches, Anna and Kate. We will talk them through it and ensure them that they will be ok. Please do not tell your swimmer that they can opt out of a stroke or event. We will give them the tips and confidence that they need to try the event and get through the event. It always feels good when they finish a race after getting out of their comfort zone and achieving something they didn't think they could do. We promise they will be fine!!! We will be working on strokes at practice and through the clinics but some will not get enough practice to really excel in a particular stroke until after a few weeks. Encourage your swimmers to try the strokes, try the new events and to just have fun!  

Please check the events by swimmer attachment we send out after the meet is merged. Sometimes your swimmers will have the opportunity to swim up in an older age group. This is because we know that they can handle it and the older kids need their help! Please make sure you don't miss these events they are super important! 

Please make sure that if your child is entered in a relay (or two) that they are ready and prepared to swim. If one swimmer bails on a relay that prevents 3 other swimmers from getting to race. This is not fair to them. We are a team and we count on everyone to do their part! Please do not leave a meet early because this will effect other swimmers and our overall team score! 

We are so excited for this meet and can't wait to see what your kids accomplish! 

We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow! 

Your Coaches
