Good morning Stars families! 

That was a FAST meet - we finished in record time and avoided the hottest part of the day. We were missing nearly 50 swimmers Saturday, and I was amazed at how those who were there swam fast and earned us the points. Way to go STARS!

Here are just a few post meet points and other information..

Post Meet Documents: The following documents are attached to this email and can also be found in the calendar section (under past events) on the website:

Save the Date:

TEAM photos will be at 10:30 on the pool deck—arrive 15 minutes early so we can get all swimmers on the risers on time.

General Reminders:

• PLEASE arrive on time to the swim meets – each week I send an email with check-in time for volunteers and swimmers. We plan these meets down to the minute so it is important to be ON TIME. If your swimmer is not signed into the tent by check-in, they WILL be scratched from relays. 
• TENT PARENT REMINDERS: 
  • Every swimmer needs to be checked out of the tents. If your volunteer shift has ended, please promptly report to your swimmer’s tent to check them out. 
  • 5/6 swimmers will ALWAYS need to be checked out after their last swim. If you ONLY have a 5/6 swimmer, it’s best to NOT sign up for 2nd or 3rd shift as those swimmers MUST be checked out. If you do need points and must work those shifts, please ensure you have someone else to check them out. 
  • RESPECT—Remind your kiddos that they need to be respectful to the tent parents. They are there to ensure they are taken care of and on to their swims on time while our volunteers work the meets. 
  • Help the tent parents and your swimmers pick up any trash, etc. 
• Please check the lost & found bin for any items your child may have lost. It is placed out in the pavilion at every practice.
• Please do not park in the Handicapped Parking spots unless you have a legitimate need to be in that spot.
