COACH JULIE'S NUMBER
If you don't have it already, please store my number in your phone: 770-289-6626.
The parent meeting is this Thursday, 5/16, at 6PM at Mark Trail (while the kids are practicing). We are doing it a little different this year, and we are just asking for parents new to the team to attend (or if you will be new to participating in meets). Thanks!
Time trials/Mock Meet are next Tuesday, 5/21. We need ALL swimmers there by 5:00 for this "practice meet". We will all warm-up and then begin the meet. This is a great opportunity for parents to work out any kinks in the volunteer positions and to see how a meet works before the first real meet. Please have your kids there on time if at all possible. If you are going to be late or your child gets sick the day of, please email Coach Julie ([email protected]) or call/text her: 770-289-6626. It is really important to be at this meet as this is what I base my entries on for real meets...especially if your child is new to the team (or is now 11 as I have no times for even the returning kids who are 11 as they now do 50s). Please watch out for a volunteer request email coming after the parent meeting.
RSVP ON WEBSITE
If you will miss a meet, you will declare this on the website. Click on the "calendar" tab on the website. For the meet you will miss, click on “meet entry” and it will ask you to declare if you’re swimmer will be there or not. YOU ONLY HAVE TO DO THIS IF THEY WILL NOT BE THERE. This process is just for those that know in advance. If your child gets sick the day of, please email/text/call me as soon as possible to let me know.
WHO IS MISSING TIME TRIALS
If your child will not be there, I need to know by this Friday, 5/17, so I can do the correct entries. Please RSVP on the site for this.
RSVP DEADLINE FOR MEET #1-VS. BRITTANY CLUB (MEET IS ON 5/28)
The deadline to RSVP for each meet is one week prior. For the first meet, the deadline is Tuesday, 5/21, (the day of time trials).
JUNIORS
Here are the 6&under kids that I have down as juniors, meaning they will not swim in meets yet. If your child is not on this list and you feel that they should be, please email me. We will work this week to update this and hopefully get a few more kids swimming the whole way! I can add them to the practice meet as late as Friday, so if they swim the whole way this week, their status can still change…and they can touch the lane rope and still swim in meets, just not a coach. :)
Tatum Beach25 YARD BOARD
We are continuing with our "25 yard board" tradition at practice where all 6&unders who swim the whole length of the pool freestyle and/or backstroke get to add their name to a white board that we will have at practice every day. Our hope is that this encourages some of our swimmers to push themselves a little harder to really make it that whole way, and so far each season we think it is working!PRIVATE LESSONS
Please let me know if you have any questions!
Coach Julie
