Hi guys,

Great job last night! Thank you to everyone who stepped up and volunteered to make the night run so smoothly. Everyone communicated very well, so THANK YOU! Here are the results from last night and also the initial RSVP for next week (due Thursday night).

In this email

• Buddy program
• Note about meets
• RSVP for 1^st real meet
• Meet results

BUDDY PROGRAM

We have only had 7 11&older kids sign up for this so far.  Any others?

We are starting a buddy program this year where swimmers 11 and older will be paired with a 6&under. Our hope is that the older kid will bring a treat occasionally (to meets) and be there to help the little one. And they can cheer for each other! If your 11&older kid would like to participate, please let me know. The goal is to have it set up and started for the first real meet (not the practice meet).

NOTE ABOUT MEETS

You all did a great job communicating if you would not be at the meet, but I also want to let you know that if you are going to leave in the middle of the meet (before your child is finished), I need to know that as well. In a real meet, the freestyle relays for all kids 7 and older are the last event, so please plan on staying until your child is finished with all races. :)

INITIAL RSVP FOR MEET AT BRITTANY CLUB, TUESDAY 5/28

Here is the list of swimmers that I have as NOT swimming on Tuesday (including juniors). If your child will not be there, please go to mtps.swimtopia.com, click on calendar, and then meet entry to add their name by Thursday evening of this week. Thanks! If your child is a junior and swims across the pool tonight or Friday morning, we can enter them!

MEET RESULTS

I have attached the full results to this email, and if there is a small "x" by your child's time, just ignore...it doesn't mean anything. We had a TON of best times and a lot of first times. Great job!! There were some disqualifications (DQs), which is expected early on. Please do not stress if your child was DQ’d. We will go over the specific reasons with them at practice and continue to work on it! Many of them were because they started swimming the wrong stroke…easy to fix!

For every meet I will choose a biggest "loser" meaning the swimmer who lost the most time in an event. I will also send a list of swimmers who drop 5+ seconds in an event. Many swam things for the first time last night, so now we have a baseline to go from!

We have 2 biggest “losers” from last night. Our first biggest "loser" of the meet was Brendon Richards! Brendan dropped 27 seconds in his 50 free! Our second biggest “loser” was Caleb Martello. Caleb dropped 22 seconds in his 25 free! Great job Caleb and Brendan! Below are the swimmers who dropped 5+ seconds in an event. We had MANY more who had best times, but it gets harder to drop 5 seconds the faster you get. We also had many kids swim something for the first time.
