Memorial Forest @ Plaza Oaks, Thursday, June 10

Thursday is our 1st home meet against Memorial Forest.


*Please have your swimmers there by 4:45pm. They will be warming up at 5pm and the meet will start at 6pm. Half-lappers and 6&unders will not warm up before the meet.

*Parking will be crazy, so if you can, try to use only one car and watch for swimmers walking thru the parking lot.



*Volunteers –

For those of you volunteering Thursday night, we will have a volunteer check-in table (near or on the picnic table) for you to pick up your clipboards/watches/heat sheets… Athena Cashiola and Becca Howard will be manning the table.



*A few gentle reminders…

*Please remind your children that we need to all help keep the playground area clean by throwing away our trash and picking up after each other. After the B&W meet there was trash all over the playground area. So, please, no matter when you leave the meet, ask your children to help by picking up some trash before you go.

*It is tempting to stand on the deck of the pool by the place judges to watch your child swim, but we MUST keep that area clear for the swimmers, coaches and judges.

*One last reminder, no alcohol at the pool!



*Sportsmanship –

*This is a good time to remind your swimmers that no matter what happens in the water, they should be gracious to the other swimmers and to the judges. It would be great if they say, “good swim” to their competitors and fellow team mates. And, no foul language!

*Parents, we ask that you remember that all volunteers are trying their best at their assigned post. You might not always agree with their call, but you are not allowed to argue with them. This is not a perfect system and sometimes there will be mistakes. In turn, sometimes we see things differently when our own children are involved. Finally, we need to remember that our children are watching our actions and we want to remain good examples. And, again, no foul language!
