Hi Everyone.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the meet on Monday.  It was a success for swimmers and parents!  Many big thanks to everyone who stepped up to volunteer.  As you can see, we need many volunteers to run each meet.  

VOLUNTEER INFO:  If you enjoyed trying a new job, don't hesitate to go online and sign up for future roles.  If you saw a role that someone had and have questions about it before trying it, please reach out to Cat Aquino at [email protected]

** We could use a few more adults trained in being a scorekeeper.  You have a front row seat and can take the time to watch your swimmer race!
If you're interested, please let us know :)

Volunteer emails will be sent each Thursday before the next week's meet.   This will give you time to edit your role and ask any questions.

MEET LINE UP:  A meet declaration reminder will go out each Wednesday.  We will need all families to let us know if they will or will not be attending the meets.  With 200+ swimmers it takes hours to complete a line up, so please be considerate.

• Line ups can NOT be changed during the meet.  Any special considerations (leaving early/arriving late from camp) need to be known by Friday.

SWIM MEET ETIQUETTE:  

• If your child is entered in a meet, please plan to attend the entire meet, unless you notify the coaches otherwise.  We can NOT make changes to the relays once the meet has begun.  
  • If you leave early and your swimmer was on a relay, there are three other swimmers who won't be able to participate in that relay.

CLEAN UP:  

There is not a cleaning crew that cleans up after us.  There are only volunteer parents... so please teach your children to clean up after themselves; wipe tables, pick up trash, push in chairs, etc.

We have been asked by Amy Law not to keep a Swim Team Lost and Found at the pool.  

• Please label all items.
• Please make sure that you leave with all of the items you brought.
• Please clean up your child's area before leaving the pool deck.

If you leave an item behind, please contact Kim Kirby at 224-688-3238.

PRACTICE SCHEDULE:  We will start our morning practice schedule tomorrow.  Our 6-unders can now join us!   

• Flex Schedule: Is designed for anyone attending camps who would like to swim first.  
  • There is a flex schedule sign up genius for each week.  
  • We will be sending out those links in a separate email this Friday.
• Normal Schedule:  Here is the link to the practice schedule - Practice Schedule

Season Schedule: Here is the link to our season schedule - Season Schedule

Championship Meet: This is the first time we will participate in the Championship Meet.  Information about this meet will be sent out early next week.  

We apologize for the length of this email.  There is a lot of information to share.  Please let us know if you have any questions at all!  We appreciate your support.

~Erin, Amy and Cat

Go Blue Herons!
