SPIRITWEAR

We were able to open up the spirit wear shop again as many have asked about buying shirts for parents.  There are also sweatshirts!  It will close on June 1 and we have to have 12 orders to reprint, just fyi. Here is the link for anyone that wants to purchase a shirt.  We will also order for those that registered after April 30 (for the swimmers).

PRACTICE MEET

Thanks for the organized chaos that was the practice meet, I thought it was great!  For the new parents, "real" meets will have a heat sheet with kids assigned to heats and lanes, and kids only do 2 individual events and can do up to 2 relays (depends on how many kids we have for how many relays we can make). 

I wanted to send times from time trials (attached), with a note below. Also, we had a few kids get scared and not actually swim. This is totally normal...happens every year, sometimes at more than 1 meet for the same kid. We'll just keep trying, but please don't stress about it!

If your child has done that race before, their previous times are on the report as well. If it says DQ, it means the kid swam the race but was disqualified. Don't worry if your kid was DQ'd in something, we'll be working on it!

There is only 1 time missing, Evie for 25 breast, which I'm 95% sure she swam, but I will try to figure that out at practice tonight!

Let me know if you have any questions!
