*Risers

We need one more truck with a long bed to help transport risers from the elementary school to the pool for team pictures. We also need one extra set of hands to assist with the move. If you’re available to help, please text 540-908-0624. Thank you!

**Team/Individual Pictures

Please arrive outside the pool gates starting at 6:45 PM with your swimmer already in their suit. We’ll have someone on-site organizing the kids from shortest to tallest before they head in for the team picture, which will be taken no later than 7:00 PM.

An email with more details was sent earlier today—please check your inbox!

***Mock Meet

We plan to start the Mock Meet no later than 7:30 PM. There will be a lot of movement and setup happening beforehand, so please be patient. Our goal is to make this meet feel as realistic as possible to help newer swimmers and families better understand the flow and organized chaos of a typical swim meet. This is also a great opportunity for volunteers to work out any kinks.

Arrival & Setup Instructions:

  • Only setup volunteers, Board Members may enter the gates at 6:20 PM
  • All other families should wait outside the gate until 7:20 PM to help reduce congestion during setup.

Before the Meet:

  • Swimmers should arrive with their three-digit swimmer number written on their arm in Sharpie. They’ll need to show it to the timers after each event.
  • You’ll be receiving an email with your swimmer’s Event Number, Heat, and Lane Assignment. We recommend drawing a small table on their arm and filling in that info—it helps them and the volunteers!
  • Sharpie is part of the sport—and the kids love it!

What to Bring:

  • Extra towels
  • Swim caps (still available for purchase at the meet — $10 each)
  • Snacks, as there will not be concessions at this meet.

Event Schedule:
Here is the link to the list of events in the order they’ll occur. Note: We will not be doing relays during the Mock Meet.

****Annual Team T-shirt Design Entries

We have had three entries to date, hoping for more! Each year, swimmers design and vote on the official team shirt!

  • Use plain 8.5″ x 11″ paper (no lined paper).
  • Designs must be two colors or fewer.
  • Digital or hand-drawn designs are welcome!
  • Submit to bwaysharks@gmail.com by Thursday, June 12.

Let’s have a great week, and thank you for helping make this a smooth kickoff to the season!
