Good afternoon,

I wanted to take a moment to follow up with everyone after last night. I apologize about the picture information that I had sent out. The photographer changed directions on me and I just rolled with it.

Follow up to the Mock Meets – 

First of all…were there mistakes, yes. Is it okay, yes. A big part of having the Mock Meet is to get those mistakes out of the way prior to real meets. Have swimmers/coaches/parents learn the process and get jitters out of the way. We are lucky that our next meet is away to get the full experience as visitors and not the home team. It also gets new swimmers times within the system to assist with placing them in the right heat within the events so they are racing other swimmers around the same level. 

• It is very important that we have ALL volunteer positions filled prior to the meet so we are not seeking volunteers and providing instructions more than once. As mentioned before, swim meets are no joke and they DO NOT happen without volunteers. A big shout out to all those that stepped up last night to help and make the meet happen. Last night we didn’t even have all the volunteer positions posted. For the next meet (which will be held at Spotswood beginning at 6PM) we need a total of 26 volunteers – please sign up NOW. Swim Meets: June 21, 2022 Swim Meet @ Spotswood (signupgenius.com)
• It is VERY important to put your swimmer(s) three digit number on their body with a sharpie that is easily read and seen. From now on, please place a “B” prior to the number.
• Remind your swimmer(s) to stay in the pool until all swimmers are done. Good sportsmanship is something Broadway strives for.

Some things to know about Spotswood – it is a tight pool area and parking is limited. Please try to reduce the number of vehicles you take to the meet and there is no room for tents. There will be a lot of people as we both have a large team. We will share more information about arrival time, etc prior to Tuesday. Please go into SwimminglyClub House to declare your swimmer for Tuesday ASAP. Swimmingly ™

Don’t forget that there is Stroke and Turn Judge training tonight at JMU from 6:30-8pm in Godwin Hall, 344.

Also, don’t forget today is the last day for your swimmer(s) to vote for their favorite t-shirt design. 2022 Annual Broadway Sharks T-Shirt Design – Google Forms We have had 80 out of 165 swimmers vote.

For the home meet in two weeks we will be having a concession stand. I need two volunteers to help get logistics together this coming week. PLEASE let me know if you can assist with this. It is behind the scenes work.
