Everyone plan on hanging out and eating dinner at 13 Stripes after we float down the river! Floaters must be at least 6 years old.

15-18’s Dinner

More information on both of these events to come!

MERCHANDISE:

Amy Nasiatka will be at the pool Tuesday and Wednesday for merchandise pickup. Caps are in and she will have those on Tuesday and visors will be there starting Wednesday! Please try and pick up everything while she is there this week so you have all your merch for the first meet on Friday! 

GCC MEET INFORMATION:

Friday, June 3^rd: Home against GCC. At this time the meet entries are closed. If you did not declare your swimmer, we are assuming they are not swimming in this meet and are not signed up for any events. 

Meet starts at 4:00 PM

Warm ups-

• 10 & under- 2:45-3:00
• 11 & up 3:00-3:15
• Drop off in the pool parking lot and then park at Covenant or anywhere in the neighborhood that doesn't have a No Parking Sign.
• We are setting up tents and chairs "tailgate style" in the parking lot again this year. No chairs allowed on the deck. 
• Please remember about the "Safe Sport" rule: No photos or videos at either end of the pool. You must stand on the sides of the pool, not behind the blocks or behind the swimmers to take pictures and videos! This is for our swimmers' safety. 

New Parents- If you have questions about what to expect, feel free to ask me or any parent of an older swimmer at the pool this week.

***MEET SET-UP: Normally meet set-up occurs during morning practice before the  meet. Since we have school on Friday we will need to set up on Thursday evening! Unfortunatley, we cannot do most of the set up until the pool closes at 8:00. This is me, a tired mama at the end of the school year, begging and pleading for help Thursday night starting around 7:45. Bring your coolers -  of water of course- and your friends and we can get this knocked out quickly! I will forever be grateful for your help! 

I know this is a lot of information...Please let me know if you have any questions at all. 

Remember....NO PRACTICE TOMORROW! I hope everyone has a safe and Happy Memorial Day. Thank you to all of our parents who are retired or active service men and woman and most of all to those who made the ulitmate sacrifice for this country so we can live in the land of the Free!
