Good evening,

Prior to tomorrow

We are still in need of some parents to make their declaration on their swimmer(s) as well as making sure their swimmer(s) are registered in Swimmingly. 

If your family has decided not to participate in swimming, please let us know so we can remove your information. We have to pay a fee per swimmer and submit numbers to insurance – so this is important.

If your swimmer(s) are not swimming in the meet, you need to go in and enter “no”. Marissa has been emailing, texting, and calling families, but still waiting on several to do so. To make the declaration use the Swimmingly Clubhouse (Swimmingly ™). If you have a desktop, it is easier to do it. The SwimminglyFan will be where your swimmer(s) results will appear tomorrow night.

We still need volunteers!!! This is a great way to learn. You can be a timer, if you are able to order anything on a touchscreen. If you are planning to do the Stroke and Turn training, please sign up to be a Stroke & Turn Judge tomorrow. A great time to practice for all positions! Shortest volunteer night of the season. Swim Meets: June 16, 2022 Mock Swim Meet (signupgenius.com)

Thursday Night

Please arrive outside the gates of the pool beginning at 6:45PM with their bathing suits on. We will have someone organizing the kids shortest to tallest to then walk them in for the team picture which will occur no later than 7PM. At this time only swimmers are allowed within the gates. Parents will not be allowed in the gated area until at least 7:10PM unless they are within the gates with their child for individual pictures. After the team picture we will have all the swimmers exit the pool area. For those that want individual pictures, please line up outside the fence area (little sharks getting pictures first) and we will escort a few families in at a time until the pool is closed. Please make sure you have your order forms ready to go with exact payment. Not using credit cards will assist the process move faster. 

After pictures, make sure your swimmer(s) has a three digit code (found in swimminglyFan app – next to your swimmers name. Example BWAY 371) be written on your child’s body (arm/hand) where they can easily show it to a timer after they swim. Get used to sharpie drawings on your child(ren)…it is a BIG part of swimming. Some kids get very creative on meet nights.

We hope to begin the Mock Meet no later than 7:45. There is a lot of movement happening tomorrow night, so please be patient. We are going to try and make the meet as realistic as possible to assist those newer swimmers/families understand the process of organized chaos.

I will be at both practices tonight if you have questions. This Mock Meet is to help everyone get ready for how the process will work. For next Tuesday’s meet we are looking to have declarations due by Friday night, so be watching for communications of when that opens. We are waiting on Spotswood.

We have 55 ducks to still hand out, please stop by and grab another duck if you need them.Duck money/tickets are due Friday, July 1. If you have them ready, bring them tonight or tomorrow night.
