Week #4: B-Meet, Parent Social, and Relay Carnival!!!
PIRANHA FAMILIES —-
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all of our Piranha Dad's out there!!
Congratulations on a great start to the season with a victory over James Creek yesterday. James Creek were awesome guests and should serve as a great example for how we want to conduct ourselves when we visit West Hillendale next Saturday. Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped us out yesterday, especially with clean up, which took less than 30 minutes to return the pool to the condition in which we found it. We cannot host meets without all of your help.
Coach Julia will send out a summary of the meet separately.
THIS WEEK:
1. Weekly B- Meet:
WHEN: Wednesday, June 22nd @ 6pm.
SIGN-UP: Please make sure to sign your swimmers up on-line by Monday evening at 6pm. You can select the events they swim.
Eligibility Guidelines:
Swimmers may sign up for as many events as they want as long as they didn’t swim that event in the A meet, with the exception of freestyle. Swimmers can swim freestyle at the B meet as long as they placed outside the top 6 in freestyle if they swam it in the A meet.
You cannot swim any event you have an ALL-STAR time in.
A swimmer should not sign up for a stroke the my are not legal in unless requested by Coach Julia (this usually means they are close to being legal). See the coach if you have a question.
A swimmer cannot swim the B meet in any stroke for which they are usually an A meet swimmer, but missed this past weekends A meet (This applies to Hannah Douglas, Sydney Dietrich, Timmy Tomlinson and Joseph Gonzalez this week. All of you can see Coach Julia for the events you would not have been in the A-meet and you can swim those events).
VOLUNTEER: When you sign up your swimmer, please sign up to volunteer at the meet. We should have a large B-team this season, so I expect all parents to volunteer to support your swimmers!
