It was wonderful to see so many swimmers at practice last night—especially watching them reconnect after time apart and catch up with friends from different schools. One thing I forgot to mention in previous emails: please be sure to clean up after yourself and return any chairs to their original spot before you leave. Thank you to all the parents who assisted in resetting the space before we closed up for the night.

Declaration of Swimmer(s) – Mock Meet

You should have received an email from Swimmingly about the process of how to declare your swimmer for the Mock Meet next Tuesday. You must take action if your child(ren) will or will not be participating. Typically, swimmers are allowed to participate in up to three individual events and two relays, but for this event, each swimmer will select up to three individual events. No relays will take place during this meet.

WHY a MOCK MEET?

This meet is a great way for swimmers to enter their first meet feeling more comfortable and having entry times for the meets. Having times entering meets is helpful to ensure your swimmer(s) are seeded correctly. If you are unsure what to select, you are welcome to ask the coaches. Declarations are due by 2 PM on Saturday, June 7.

We’re still looking for additional volunteers—and this is a fantastic opportunity to learn the different roles before our first official meet!

Join us this Thursday for a parent meeting, where we’ll also have stations set up to help you get familiar with the volunteer positions, ensure you’ve downloaded the necessary apps to track your swimmer’s results, and sign up to help during meets.

The Mock Meet will begin as close to 7:20 PM as possible. Please have swimmers arrive by 7:10 PM to begin warm-ups.

SHARPIES!

Sharpies and swim meets go together like peanut butter and jelly! For each meet, swimmers will need to write their swimmer number on their body. It’s also helpful to include their event numbers, heats, and lanes.

We’ll share more details soon, but I wanted to give our new swim families a heads-up so you’re ready!

If you’ve signed up to help with setup, we’ll have access to the pool starting at 6:20 PM. Please remind family members that guests will not be allowed in the pool area until the main gates officially open. It’s much easier to complete setup without extra people in the space—this will also be the procedure during home meets.
