More Champs Info
July 24th
There are several things that I need to let you know (& I'm sure that there'll be more):
- Only 1 practice a day. 9am or 4pm for the mite & midgets & 10am or 5pm for the older ones.
- For those who signed up, Secret Pals will go out tomorrow at practice. If you are not attending that practice it will be in your file folder upstairs. Please be mindful that Diving is having their Champs. If you have any questions please contact Kay Cram at [email protected]
- Pasta Supper on Wednesday will begin at 5:45pm to accomodate the younger swimmers. Older swimmers can join in once they're finished. Trophies will be available for pick-up & posters for the tent will be made at that time.
- "Day of" planning: only the IM swimmers & backstrokers concerned about their turns need to be at the early warm-up. Each event will have a warm-up time immediately before their event. The warm-up info is available in the "links" section on the home page of www.avalongators.swim-team.us
