Happy Sunday Gators!

This is probably the longest email I've sent- I apologize but its full of important stuff to please read it all the way through!

Tomorrow night's meet will be AT Lakeside Racquet and Swim Club. Its hard to believe we only have 2 more regular season meets left!

Reminders for the Meet:

1. Attached to this email you will find the meet entries and the welcome letter from Lakeside. Please take a look at both.

2. Please be at Lakeside no later than 5:45. It seems parking is limited (mentioned in the welcome letter) so it is probably a good idea to get there earlier rather than later. Warm ups are from 6-6:15pm. The meet will start at 6:30pm. 

3. Meet theme is Neon so bring your best and brightest!

4. If your RSVP for the meet has changed since Wednesday and have not emailed me about it, please let me know ASAP. 

5. Please make sure all swimmers check-in as soon as they walk into the pool area. 

6. Its going to be another hot one tomorrow! Please make sure all swimmers stay hydrated throughout the day/meet. It is also a great idea to send kids to practices with their own water bottles as its hot outside the pool, and the pool temperature itself has gotten hotter.

7. Please keep on reading (I know this email is long) to find out a surprise at tomorrow morning's practice!

 

Even MORE information and reminders about the week:

~ I'm very excited to tell you that we will have a special guest at tomorrow morning practices. My good friend and co-coach at St. Catherine's and St. Christopher's, Stuart Ferguson, will be joining us for a special breaststroke clinic. Stuart is a very accomplished swimmer in his own right. He swam for Collegiate and Poseidon and then went on to swim at Auburn. He has a list of accomplishments a mile long including Olympic Trials-Cut qualifier and SEC Champion. Stuart will also hopefully be back later in the week in the afternoon to work on butterfly with us for our last regular season meet. More details on that later. I encourage everyone who can make it to come to morning practice tomorrow morning! 

~Please bring either a food donation or a $1 donation for our Dunk Hunger campaign to morning practice tomorrow. Jennifer Cooper will be there to collect all donations. 

~RSVP pages have been set up for the Banquet (Sun June 23rd) and Champs (Wed June 26th). Please fill out both so we can plan appropriately for both events. Although we cannot say right now who is definitely going to champs- if your child has a QUA time or faster they are eligible to go. The coaches will try our best to maximize the number of kids who will go. If you are going to be out of town or unavailable for champs and your swimmer(s) has a qualified, please fill out no on the RSVP as soon as possible. We don't want to seed for champs and then find out after we've sent them in that they are not available. I will be sending out a champs info email next week with more details.

 

Hope to see you all at morning practice tomorrow. See you all at Lakeside tomorrow night!

Go Gators!
