Wahoos families,

Our next meet is on Thursday night (6/10) swimming virtually against Hembstead Hurricanes. Warm-ups 6:00 pm and 6:30 pm meet start. The meet is expected to conclude around 8:45 pm. As usual there’s a chance of thunderstorms. Reminder: we swim in the rain. There’s protocol we’ll follow for thunder/lightening including delays or potentially suspending the meet. Assume we’re swimming unless you receive an email prior to the meet stating otherwise.

Meet Entries

The updated Meet Entry report is available here. You can find it on the Team Calendar entry for the 6/10 meet. The entry report is sorted by swimmer and allows you to see all the events the swimmer is entered. Please review this report to confirm your swimmers are listed. If your swimmers are unable to attend, then make sure your swimmers are not listed. Email Coach Nathan or me ASAP there is an issue. The Meet Entry report does not show heats and lanes. The Heat Sheet will be made available around mid-day tomorrow and it will show events, heat, and lane assignments.

Your Help

Jobs – Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to help run the meet Thursday night. Be sure to check-in at the Volunteer Check-in desk when you arrive at the meet.

Helping Clerk of Course –As noted in Intro to Swim Meets, we strongly suggest using a Sharpie marker to write your swimmers’ events, heats and lanes on their arms or legs so they can more easily know where to go and when to be there. For kids 12 and under write their last name on their back, arm or swim cap. At Time Trials it was very difficult help organize the swimmers through the Clerk of Course. This led to several swimmers ending up in incorrect lanes or heats and very likely some incorrect times posted. With your help the volunteers running the Clerk of Course will much more easily be able to help your swimmers get to where they need to be if their name and event info are written on them.

Theme

The theme for this meet: Wahoos team spirit. Wear your Wahoo’s gear or green and/or purple to show your team spirit. Pizza will be available for all Wahoos swimmers. If you have any questions please contact our Committee Volunteer Social Coordinator, Ali Titherington.
