This is a LONG meet. We will have tents for the swimmers. I would recommend parents coordinating to set up a tent as spectators as well. Three Little Fishes will be there selling shirts and other custom items. Lots of food options. Awards are given out at the end!

Housekeeping 

Fancy Fox has updated us that the backordered tank tops should be ready “early this week”. For those that are still missing their tank, we sincerely apologize for the production delays out of our control! We will get them to you as soon as possible upon Fancy Fox completion. 

Swim Pictures are IN and they look GREAT! 

Pick up your child’s swim pictures at morning practice! 

Volunteers: Please pay attention (for the end of this year and for next year) to the description of items you are supposed to bring to the meets to fulfill your volunteer requirements. Multiple families are bringing in smaller qualities than needed, bags of veggies (not a tray with dip), smaller size Gatorades, etc. Each of these items have specific quantity and size specifications in the volunteer signup - sometimes even a link to the items from Sam’s Club or Walmart. If you have any questions or are unable to locate the information, please let one of us know and we can help clarify. 

Email: You may respond to the emails we send out, but it gets sent to only one swim coordinator’s personal email when the initial email comes through SwimTopia. If you need to reach us sooner rather than later, it is ok to hit reply but also CC the [email protected] address. I am usually pretty quick at responding, but there was a delay in my email responses last week due to being out of town. This will assure nothing is missed!

Here’s to a great last 2 weeks of swim season!!
