* Reminder that there are no practices Wed 5/22 due to the FAMILY SWIM PARTY, 5:30-7:30pm!! 

Below is a basic primer on RELAYS and MEET SIGN-UPs.  As always, please let me know if you have any questions!

A few things about RELAYS - please read this so you know how they are created and what we need from you.  Relays are fun for our swimmers and help them build teamwork and camaraderie.  They are also a HUGE coordination effort by Julie, the coaches, swimmers, and lead parents.

- Relays are generally created by the coaches.  If we have enough swimmers, we field A, B & C relays.  If you are assinged a relay the team is counting on you to be there for it!!

- A & B relays are generated based on top times for swimmers.  Coaches generally try to rotate swimmers through the C relays so everyone has an opportunity to participate.

- Julie will try to have the relays posted in the teal binder at the pool with the meet entires by Wednesday.  **Relays are ALWAYS fluid and subject to change.

- ***If for some reason your child is entered in the meet and you do not plan to be at the meet until the very end (the Free Relays) then we NEED you to write their name in the "no relays" sheet in the front of the binder.  You have no idea how much coordination it takes to change relays at the last minute as well as find the substitute swimmers to field the relay.  Plan on the meets lasting until approximately 2:00pm.

- Relays are posted at every swim meet - please check the poster during the meet after scratches to see if your swimmer has been assigned as a substitue or changed stroke in a relay.

Thanks for your cooperation, flexiblity and help with the relays!  Our Age Group Parents did a fantastic job gathering the swimmers and substitutes throughout the meet!!!  

GENERAL SIGN-UP NOTES:

- Meet sign-up deadline is always Sunday at Midnight for next week's meet.  

- Meet entries are posted in the teal binder at the pool starting Tuesday at practice.  This is how you verify that your child was entered in the meet and entries are correct.  Any corrections may be written in the binder NO LATER THAN WEDNESDAY during practice.  

- Meet exchange with the other team is Thursday.  After that point we can't make any changes to individual entries or add anyone to the meet.  It is now out of our hands.

- You must sign in before the meet.  If you are not there on time your swimmer will be scrateched from the meet and removed from any relays.  This is for the good of the team!!!  Text me if you are running late!

Thank you for all the support you have given in getting the swimmers signed up on time.  You make my job easy!!  We are looking forward to our HOME meet against the NW Memorial Marlins on Saturday!

GO WAVES!
