2011 MEET OF CHAMPS!

Congratulations to all those children that will be swimming at the 2011 Meet of Champs!

In this post you will find all the information you need to get you and your family ready for the big meet.

PLEASE read over this entire post and the attachments carefully.  If you still have questions, please feel free to email me at jenniferjhyland@comcast.net.

******

Please note that some swim practices times are changing for the next 3 days. The 6 & Unders will now practice at 8:30 and the 7 & 8's will re-combine and practice at 9 AM. All other age groups will keep the same practice times.


******


On Thursday, June 23, our team has a practice session scheduled for the Spring Branch Natatorium for 12 - 1 PM. While not required, the coaches would like to strongly encourage all kids participating in the Meet of Champs to attend so that they may have an opportunity to get to know where we are swimming. The pool is very different from what we are used to and this is a great opportunity for your child to get comfortable with the venue so they will not feel overwhelmed when they arrive for Pre-Lims. I will be sending out a map to the facility as soon as I get one, so be watching for that.


******


Below you will find the information from the league that should answer pretty much any question you have. If you still need info, please conact Jennifer Hyland @ 713-461-4662 or jenniferjhyland@comcast.net.

Here Come the Piranhas

As school is coming to an end, our swim season is just starting to ramp up. Believe it or not, our 1st swim meet is next Monday, June 6th at Plaza Oaks. We will be hosting the Spring Branch Stingrays.




Just a few reminders:



*If your child/children will not be attending the meet, please mark the red binder by Friday. This is very important, otherwise the coaches are having to make last minute changes to the heat sheet and that can cause confusion for the swimmers and other volunteers.


*Please check to see if you are volunteering - if you can not show, please find a replacement. The volunteer sheet is on the bulletin board right before you enter the gate to the pool area.


*There is practice on meet days.


*Swimmers need to be at Plaza Oaks at 4:45pm for warm-ups - the home team always warms up first. The 6&unders and half lappers will not warm up.


*Bring goggles, towel, and something to entertain your child during the meet. Please label everything - including t-shirts and bags!


*Remind your swimmers that during the meet they do not want to run around and spend all of their energy on the playground - SAVE IT FOR THE RACES!


*The half lappers will swim right BEFORE the meet starts. Then, they are finished for the evening.


*Heat sheets will be sold at the meet for $1.


*Finally, we want to remind our children that above all else, we exhibit good sportsmanship towards our competitors - those on the other team as well as our own.


If you have any questions, please see Julie, Jennifer, or Biba at practice Friday morning.


***NO PRACTICE TODAY - ENJOY BOOGIE DOWN BRITTMOORE***


***MORNING PRACTICE BEGINS FRIDAY***
