Please see my correction regarding our first swim meet is at Riverside May 30th not Hammond Hills.

Swim Team Friends,

Wow, can you believe that we have already been practicing for 2 weeks? We are a quarter of the way through the season, it is going by fast! Today’s email is long, here’s what we’re covering: Time trials, schedule, meet declaration and volunteer sign up.

• Time Trials/Practice: Time trials are here- we will run the kids through all their meet events for times. These times allow us to place them in the appropriate order for next week’s meet. Trials run all three days! 6U swimmers only swim two strokes in meets so they will transition to regular practice if they complete trials. Older age groups swim a greater variety of strokes and distances so trials will take all three days to complete.
  • Monday, May 22nd through Wednesday, May 24th
  • 4:00 PM-4:45 PM 6&UNDER/7-8 yr
  • 4:45 PM-5:30 PM 9-10 yr
  • 5:30 PM-6:30 PM 11&UP
  • Wear your tight-fitting suits (team suits are great), swim caps and goggles
• Thursday, May 25th: NO PRACTICE: This is the last day of school for many of our swimmers the pool opens for Mountaire members at 4:00 PM
• Friday, May 27th: PRACTICES SWITCH TO MORNINGS
  • 8:30 AM-9:15 AM 6&U/7-8 yr
  • 9:15 AM-10:00 AM 9-10 yr
  • 10:00 AM-11:00 AM 11&UP
• Declare your swimmers by 5/26! We are 9 days out from our first meet, 5/30 at Riverside. Please RSVP now. Scroll down to the meet name > click the green button tagged “Meet Entry”, this opens a window with your swimmer’s name, click “edit”, select the drop-down option for each of your swimmers, and hit “save”. DONE!

If your swimmer is not declared by the 5/26 deadline, they will not be able to participate in the 1st meet!

• Sign up for all of your volunteer spots for the season by 5/26. Go to the Team Calendar page, scroll down to the event name> click the green button tagged “Job signup”, this opens a window with parent names, click “sign up for jobs”, click the button next to the job you wish to sign up for and hit “save assignments”. DONE!

This is a busy week before the long holiday weekend, and we return from that break right into our first meet. Weather is looking soggy but remember, we do swim in rain. We will advise the group on any practice cancellations or delays. If you have questions about any of the above, please email us [email protected].

We love swimming with you!
