Let's get a little bit ROWDY tonight! We need to beat the heat ... and keep our kids excited to race fast! This will be a tough meet. We have several kids out due to illnesses, vacations, etc. -- which underscores our need to have every swimmer participate and practice hard to learn every stroke and continue to improve. 

Don't worry about how the heat sheet ranks your swimmers -- there are still lots of opportunities for upsets, and for people to earn points. 9-10 Boys and 11-12 Boys (swimming as both 11-12 or 13-14) have huge opportunities. We often need to just finish clean to take 1st and 2nd or 2nd and 3rd. Those 3rd place points add up, especially in tight meets like this one.

Show time is 4:45 (at the latest). Pool Set Up begins at 4:00pm (deck chairs, table set-up, blocks, lane lines, flags, starting system, ribbons ... you name it, there's work to do). 

Warm-up #1 (10 and Under) starts promptly at 5pm; Warm-up #2 (11 and Over) starts promptly at 5:15.

I've attached the arm-marking sheet -- please note, we may have to make some last-minute changes to a few swimmers' heats/lanes. I will assign Junior coaches to find the affected swimmers and make those changes, as well as follow up prior to those events to ensure no one misses their events.

Let's have a great meet -- do our very best and have fun!
