Meet results: Congratulations to our swimmers for a fabulous meet last night!  We saw a number of dropped times in the results, lots of cheering on teammates, and so many smiles!  I have attached meet results here and I will hang a copy at the pool.  Please let me know if you notice any errors, as this happens at every meet, and I will work with SCAT to get things corrected as best as possible.  Ribbons will be given out at Monday's practice or the next time you come to practice!

Thank you!:Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who volunteered at last night's meet!  It takes many helpful hands to make a successful meet, so thank you all!  When power was out 1-2:30pm at the pool, we thought we might have to cancel the meet. I'm super thankful to our pool company who stopped by the pool to get the pump running and to vacuum the debris from the night before (although the Thursday 8am group picked up lots of debris to assist!)  A special shout out goes to all the timers who braved the sun, as well as Mark Matson for announcing both meets, and to Heidi Berggren for spearheading the concessions at both meets.

Thursday's meet: Thursday's meet is AWAY at Planterra.  Please rsvp for the meet even if you will not be able to attend.  As always, your swimmer can choose TWO individual events and coaches will choose the relays.  In addition to the traditional individual races, any swimmer may compete in the 100 Individual Medley (aka 100 IM).  A swimmer who signs up for this event will race 4 lengths of the pool consecutively in this order: fly, back, breast, free.  Please do not force your swimmer to do this race, as it is a tough challenge.  DQ is a real possibility as you have to swim every stroke legally.  We will practice IM's during Monday's 9am and 10am practices (probably not 8am group as they're pretty young for this race) so your swimmer can make a more informed decision about this race.  Feel free to ask a coach as well about this on Monday!

Lots of info for you here.  I'll send information about the championship meet and party soon, but I have been asked these questions... Championship meet is for ALL swimmers -- no qualifying times or places needed.  Party is for ALL swimmers and families.

Go Wahoos!
