SWIM MEET HELP-  First of all I want thank those that signed up last week to help at our swim
meet this weekend however we only had about 70% of what we need.  Therefore instead of
waiting for more people to sign up I decided to assign positions to our members.  I also will assign
some timing positions to the visiting teams because we do not have enough bodies available
during some of the sessions to cover what we need to run this meet.  Attached will be a complete
2 page list of all those that volunteered and those that were assigned to positions.  Those
assigned will be indicated by an *.
NOTE:  If you were assigned positions and NOT available let me know ASAP

SWIM MEET AD’S-   If you haven’t done your family commitment of $25 worth of advertisement our
DI Qualifier Meet is your last chance for the season.  Also remember that any family the does over

COACHES AT SWIM MEETS-  
Our coaches are at the swim meets to work with the
swimmers.  We want each swimmer to always talk to the coaches after each of their swimming
events. That is the best time for the coaches to give them feedback on their swim.  We also
encourage parents to ask them what the coaches have said to them about their swim.   Therefore
please have your swimmers talk to the coaches immediately after they swim and even before if
they have questions.

T-SHIRTS & HOODED SWEATSHIRTS-
The new shipment of  the adult sizes of our club T-Shirts &
Hooded Sweatshirts have arrived.  You can purchase them in the office.
