PIRANHA FAMILIES ---

First I wanted to give a big THANK YOU to everyone who volunteered during the B-Meet at Lake Marion last night.  We needed every single one of you and it made it possible for all of our B-meet swimmers to work on their strokes and improve their times.  This week we have an opportunity to get together as a team for the Pasta Pig Out social event, which I encourage all families to attend.  It's a good way to meet the parents and swimmers outside of a meet.  Details on the Pig Out and this week's A-Meet at North Creek are below:

PASTA PIG OUT:

WHERE: Plantations Pool

WHEN: Friday, June 21st at 6pm

WHO: Swimmers, parents and family members

WHAT TO BRING: Go to the web-site and sign up to bring a pasta dish, side dish, salad, or dessert.  Every family that comes should bring a dish, and if you can donate paper products, that is a bonus.  We will have lemonade, but you may want to bring a water or other drink.  NO GLASS and NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES PLEASE.  I look forward to seeing all of you at the Pasta Pig Out on Friday to carbo-load for the meet on Saturday!

WEEKLY MEET SCHEDULE:

WHEN: Saturday, June 22nd @ 9am, Warm-ups are at 8:25am; Arrive by 8:10am and check in with the Coaches!

WHERE: North Creek, 20125 Arrowhead Rd., Montgomery Village, MD 20886.  The pool has a large parking lot on Arrowhead Rd.

WHO: North Creek Neptunes

DECLARE YOUR SWIMMERS:  I know you have already done so, but if you have not, please go on-line and declare your swimmers either AVAILABLE or NOT-AVAILABLE for the meet by midnight, today, Wednesday, June 19th.  Coach John will be completing the line-up on Thursday!!!!

VOLUNTEER: While you are declaring your swimmer is AVAILABLE, SIGN UP to volunteer.  There are still 6 positions available including a Stroke and Turn official, a Starter, and 3 timers.  Cyndi Gregory will begin reaching out to you Friday to assign any unclaimed volunteer positions.

MEET LINE-UP:  Coach John will send our line-up to you no later than Friday.  I will send out a Meet Program on Friday PM if I receive one from the host team.

TEAM AREA:  Our team area will be to the right as you enter the pool, near the diving well area.  There is room to set up our pop-up tents there as there will be little to no shade!
