We hope everyone had a great holiday weekend and you are ready for our first swim meet tomorrow! Here’s what you need to know about tomorrow and the rest of this week:

Tuesday, May 31st:

Normal morning practice sessions at 8:30, 9:15, 10, and 10:30.

Meet #1 at home vs. Echo Ridge:

Swimmers arrive between 4:15-4:30 pm

Our Warm ups: 4:50-5:20 pm

Echo Ridge warm ups: 5:20-5:50 pm

Meet starts at 6:00 pm

4:30 arrival means in the bullpen at 4:30 not parking the car. It is VERY important that swimmers are there and ready. They have limited time for warmups and coaches must make any changes by 5:15 pm. If you are not there, lineup changes will need to be made. IF an emergency arises and you will not be there by 4:30, PLEASE call or text Julie Linsley at 770-206-3106. There is so much going on at that time, we will be unable to call you and will therefore need to take your swimmer out of the lineup.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: Thank you to ALL the parents who have already volunteered. We still need a few roles filled. Please note that we need volunteers for every meet and most parents will need to volunteer more than once. We cannot run meets without parent volunteers. We still need the following:

10&Under Boys Bullpen (1)

12&Under Girls Bullpen (1)

12&Under Boys Bullpen (1)

Concessions - 2nd shift workers (3)

Home Meet Breakdown (3)

Parking Coordinator (1)

Ribbon Coordinator (1)

Please visit our team site and sign up to help.

PARKING: The parking lot will fill up quickly. We encourage swim team families to walk/bike if possible or carpool. There is parking on the neighborhood street on ONE SIDE ONLY. There will be signs blocking the side of the street where you should NOT park. Please be respectful of our neighbors.

CONCESSIONS: The regular Twin Lakes concession stand will be open during the meet. In addition, the swim team will also be selling concessions: hot dogs, pizza, assorted drinks, and assorted snacks. The snack bar accepts cash and Venmo, and the swim team concessions are cash only.

REMINDERS FOR YOUR SWIMMERS:

• drink plenty of fluids (water, Gatorade, sports drinks) and to rest as much as possible during the day. This goes for ALL AGES of swimmers.
• Let’s show our sportsmanship and bullpen etiquette tonight! We are so proud of our team!
• We will send out the heat sheet tomorrow after the morning practice sessions. Please plan to mark your swimmer’s arm with their events prior to meet arrival. Instructions will be included in the email with the heat sheet.

Wednesday, June 1st:

As you can see on our practice schedule, we do not have practices on Wednesday mornings after meets. Instead, we will have donuts from 9:30-10:15 am for 10 & younger and from 10:15-11:00 am for 11 & older.

Regular afternoon practice will be held on Wednesday with our ICE CREAM SOCIAL this week after each afternoon practice session.

You will also be able to pick up your ribbons from Tuesday’s meet in the ribbon file (located on the bench in front of the swim team senior bulletin board by the concession stand). Ribbons are filed by family last name and you can pick them up at any time from the file.

If you haven’t marked your availability for next week’s home meet on 6/7, please do so before Friday. 

See you tomorrow!
