Hello Sharks!

Our last home meet is tomorrow and we are swimming against the Huntington Hill Hurricanes and the Stoneridge Stingrays. Thanks in advance to all the volunteers making this meet work!

Here is information for our home meet tomorrow:

When:

Arrive by 6:40, Warm-ups at 6:45, Meet starts at 8.

Team Meeting at 7:45am. Please have all your events marked on arms or legs by this time. We will help all the 8 & Under relays get together and then do a team cheer. From there the 8 & Under relays will be guided to the clerk of course.

What to do before Wednesday Morning:

Attached you will find entry events by swimmer, relay lists and the heat sheet. Every swimmer should have their events written on their body with sharpie before the team meeting at 7:45. You can do this ahead of arriving at the pool by looking up your swimmer's event number, heat number and lane number. If you are unable to do it ahead of time we will still have sharpies and help at the pool, but doing it ahead of time can help everything go smoother at the start of the meet. Unsure how to mark arms? Here is some help!

Other tips to remember:

• Two hand touches on Breaststroke and Butterfly! Also for Breaststroke: No arms below rib cage on pull and one breathe for every stroke
• Remember sunscreen, snacks and hydration! Swimmers us a lot of energy and need to keep some healthy fuel in their body (not just otterpops and donuts!)
• Heat winners are usually given a prize, but ribbons will be awarded based on overall best times from all heats of an event.
• Cheer on your teammates and shake hands with the swimmer next to you after you finish your race!

All this info is also linked on our Swimtopia page.

Thanks for your support and let's have some great swims tomorrow!
