Hi Everyone!

I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for your help during our first meet on Tuesday evening.   As you saw, it really does take MANY of us to make our meets a success.  If you did not volunteer last meet please do so this meet.  Rachel Nowak, our Volunteer Coordinator will be handling most of the volunteer tasks from now on.  Be expecting the sign up email from her this afternoon. 

The meet results are attached.  The numbers on the very right hand side of your child’s final time is how many points they scored for that race.  In addition, the small x to the left of their time indicates that they did not score points for their team (only the first three swimmers from each team are able to score for individual races and only two relays from each team get points).  Collectively, we score points and at the end of the night we tally both teams to see who has the most points.  Mountain Lodge beat us 720 to 653.  Hopefully next meet will be a bit easier for our swimmers since they know the pace and will have more confidence to swim faster.  Also, if there is a DQ in place of their time they were disqualified from their race and their coach will have an explanation for them so that corrections can be made.  If it is a NS that means your swimmer did not show up for their race.  It is such a pleasure for me to see our kiddos grow in their swim abilities and to watch their faces as they realize what they are accomplishing. 

For this next meet, you will need to go into sign up genius once you receive the email invitation and RSVP EVEN if your child is not swimming.  Please put the names of kiddos swimming in the meet in the notes section.  IF you do not go in and RSVP by 10:00 PM on Friday, June 7^th your child WILL NOT be swimming in the meet next week.   There will be NO exceptions!!!  If there is a question of whether or not you will be there or not, RSVP yes and let us know if there is a change.  In addition, if you have signed up to volunteer and are not able to come we NEED to know so that we can get someone in your place. 

You are probably wondering when we will be practicing now that school has come to an end.  Starting on Monday, June 10^th we will be switching to morning practices even on race days.  Our focus on race day is to work on starts, relay transitions and will be a light workout.  The times are:

6 and under kiddos who are swimming at 5:30 PM – 9:15 to 9:55 AM

7 & 8 year olds swimming at 5:30 PM – 8:30 to 9:10 AM

7 & 8 year olds swimming at 6 PM – 9:15 to 9:55 AM

9 & 10 year olds swimming at 5:15 PM – 9:15 to 10:15 AM

11 & up swimming at 6 PM – 8:00 to 9:10 AM

As always, please let me know if you have any questions.  I hope that you are enjoying the season and your kiddos are learning, making new friends and having a blast.  See you tonight!
