    Happy Wednesday all!

    We have had a few questions about the last couple weeks of swim team so I figured I'd get the info out now...and then remind you later. 

    • Breakfast with the Coaches this Friday is during the 10-11am practice time and is for 11 & up swimmers only. You should have received an email with payment instructions.  
    • Last meet on Monday, June 23rd AT HOME. Think sunshine thoughts for that day & please step in to fill volunteer shifts so we can run a quick/smooth meet. 
    • Tuesday, June 24 stroke clinics are still on - sign up here. Use that time to tweak any strokes you plan to do in Meet of Champs. Remember, this is not a swim lesson!
    • Wednesday, June 25th is our End of Season PARTY from 6-9pm. Swimmers meal is covered - parents & non-swimmer siblings is $15.  
    • We will send out information on the end of season coaches gift soon. Any amount is appreciated. 
    • League TOP TIMES are posted through Meet 3. These are for the whole league - waiting to get division 2 top times! 
    • Meet of Champs (MOC) is on Friday, June 27th and All Stars is Tuesday, July 1st. Both are at Don Cook Natatorium in Sugar Land. 

    MEET OF CHAMPS INFO

    • Your child does NOT have to swim all events, in fact we encourage you to think ahead and ask not to be heated in any stroke they definitely do not want to do or can not do. There are swimmers who end up qualifying for All Stars in all events and then choose to scratch to save energy for their top strokes. We ask that you think ahead this time so there's a spot for another qualifier. All that said, coaches reserve the right to ask swimmers to swim anything they feel will benefit the team.  
    • On that note, in order to attend MOC at all, you must have competed in 2 regular season meets (not including time trials). Any stroke you want to swim, you must have at least 1 "clean" time (meaning you can't swim butterfly at MOC if you have been DQ'd every time you swam it). 
    • MOC is broken up into a 10 & under meet (starts at 8am) and an 11 & up meet (starts at 2pm). If you're one of the lucky few with kids in both age groups, be ready for a long, hot, awesome day!
    • Please declare for meet 5 and MOC now and be sure to make note of anything you need the coaches to know in the notes section. 

    ALL STARS

    • You must qualify for All Stars as one of the top 16 times. The 1st place finisher in all divisions automatically qualifies, and then the next 12 top times across all divisions.
    • Relays are a bit different because we can swap out swimmers, so even if you did not qualify for an individual event or even swim in the relay that qualified for AS, you may still get called up. Be prepared!

    Plenty more information to come, I just wanted to get ahead of the game!
